Paul!

Thank you for the answer. I am so scared...I hope you are right and that they will not dig any more. The time I did it before was way before holidays - so he would have to find out which days I was there (although I was there often as I did most of my food shopping there), pull out the tapes and watch them...Is is worth it for them? Hope not.
I spoke to an attorney from pre-paid legal services and he said that it is all up to that security officer - if he feels he should go further, he will. I know the security officer told me it was over and that the amount was not so large, but I wish there is a way to confirm that they will not report this. If I am so lucky that nothing happens, I suppose I do have to live in fear for a year...It seems that this is a life-shaking message for everyone caught. It is the stupidest mistake and not worth the embarasment. I am embarassed not only that someone may find out, but in front of myself - my own picture of me is shaking and I am trying to accept and discover what led me to this miserable action.
Outside of this, I am a very considerate person, I never even litter, never mind something else...Anyway, if anyone should have any other information that would be useful for me, I would appreciate it. I wish I could do something to make people aware - BEFORE they make this mistake, how humiliating it is...I know I will NEVER do it again, but I am usually such an open book, and having this secret is a tremendeous pressure..
