I made one mistake. Just because I did something wrong once doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to happen again, there is such a thing as learning your lesson. I'm also not purposely trying to hide the stolen merchandise, I'm completely willing to return all of it, they just never mentioned anything about returning it or even questironed me about it. I'm willing to pay it all back as well, I know what I did was wrong and I'm more than willing to make up for it, my ultimate concern was it being on my record. And as for refusing to talk, I was being 100% cooperative from the start of this, I answered all of their questions honestly and did everything that they asked of me.
The LP also said that I wouldn't be serving jail time, I would just have to pay everything back and it would be put down as disorderly behavior.
