I am very glad I found this website. I was caught shoplifting last night, over $1000. felony charge. I have never done this before, I have no prior record of anything other than traffic tickets. The man from the store was very nice at first, but then he got very, very mean and was gloating to others about catching me. He called me a "master thief" and many other things. I guess I deserved it. On the other hand the officer that came to arrest me was so kind. I felt so bad this morning that I had withheld other items I had taken, all I want is a clean concious. I drove over 30 miles this afternoon take to the police station the other few items that I was too scared to share last night. What hurts me the most is that I have lost the trust of the good man who married me 30 years ago, and the damage I have done to my relationship with my 15 year old son. They did not hold me last night, they let my husband come and pick me up. They could have kept me in jail. The kind officer told me that I will receive a court date in a few weeks. Do you have any advice for me? I just can't stop crying. I live in Michigan
