Oh yes! There is a possibility that they might not believe me for returning the necklace . Will they investigate further you think? I just want to give it back and leave…

So much help I get from here. Really appreciate everyone‘s opinion and time here. I just go straight to a security guard at the door and give it to him saying it was in a bag I bought yesterday. And I thought it was from the shop so I wanted to give it back. Then I just leave the shop? is it ok if I go in maybe tomorrow or the next day or that is too late?

Very much appreciate @BankFodder comment. I will try to be brave and go back to return it. I think I should do it asap but now thinking about it still make me shake.

Thank you so much @jk2054 for your opinion. It’s a big store. I’m so scared to step inside that store again. What if they saw me yesterday and took some action towards the credit card details I used and when I return the necklace and they didn’t realise that and still took the further action to get me? I don’t want my husband to know. It’s too embarrassed. I cant think of anyone I can share this story with. It’s too embarrassing for me.

That’s right. I didn’t pay for the necklace but paid for the bag. It was my stupid thought of mine to steal th E necklace with intention. Then I put the necklace tag in one of the trousers’ pocket in the shop. Now I’m worried they will trace me by watching the cctv then search for the credit card details that I used to pay for the bag and get my details to get to me. I was writing this at 6 am but was able to post on here at 11 because I didn’t realise I had to verify the email address and I fell asleep for a bit before I was able to post on here. It’s H&M in London.

Hi, I am worried as I stole a £6 necklace from H&M then I was stupid enough to pay for a £19 bag with my husband’s credit card on the same occasion . I put the necklace tag in a pocket of a pair of trousers on the rack in the shop. I’m worried that staff will find that tag then go and check on CCTV and see me put it there then recognise me that I was the one who bought that bag and will try to get my contact details from the card - maybe they will ask my bank who they issued that card to. Then tells police to come around. It’s almost 6 am and I can’t sleep. I’m so worried. I’m on dependent visa and still need to apply for further stages of visa. I don’t want to have criminal record then it will affect my visa application. I have a daughter here in London I want my visa to be ok then I can live with her. Please anyone give me advices . I know it was wrong to shoplift and I don’t think I will do it again. It’s not worth the worry I create.
