Shoplifting at waitrose

[Mango7]

Hello can i get some advice,I was caught twice from Waitrose from different store.

Both times I gave my details they didn’t call the police.

First time was 5 years ago.

I’ve been shoplifting a few times at Waitrose.
This happen last week.

Will the police will came and arrest me?

The value was under £30.

Now that I’ve been caught for the second time I feel so ashamed, and embarrassed, I can’t sleep, I’m so nervous, I’m shaking all the time, I feel so bad.

I really don’t want to go to any supermarket anymore.

because I’m scared I would do the same.

What we often recommend is that you talk to your GP to find out what led you to shoplift. CAG doesn't condone stealing but if there are reasons why you did this, you should look at getting help with them.

Will the police come to arrest me?

We don't know I'm afraid because you aren't answering the questions we've put. What about what dx asked you in post #3 please?

you are in little danger of police ever being involved 

but you must go have a word with your GP

its all in the strictest confidence.

 

address any possible underlying problems that might be compelling you to shoplift - it's usually as a result of a cry for help upon other issues.

I’ve been there a few times

Well the thing to do is to stop taking things from Waitrose and then they won't need to notice you.

Hello dx ,

I’m sorry I didn’t reply to you.

it wasn’t intentional .Answering to your question I’ve been there a few times.

pls if you can help me I really appreciate .

I think that in addition to going to your GP – and this is very important – that you want to tell somebody you trust. The best thing of course would be if you discussed it with your husband because you would get the kind of support that would really help you.

If you keep this kind of thing secret then you will place a far greater level of distress upon you and if you find that you end up doing it again, you been exactly the same situation and you won't know who to go to for help.

I would suggest that you tell your husband. You feel a lot better after you open up and discuss it with somebody and realise that you're being supported

@BankFodderThank you  so much for your words.

 

Thank you so much dx.

I was thinking going back home for good.

But the problem is my daughter still at Uni last year.

How long normally takes for the  police to came to my house?

 

No way I will be doing this again.

The way I’m feeling now.

stealing doesn’t pay what I’m going through right now , it’s really hard.

 

I wish I could have learned the first time.

thank you for your help.

 

@honeybee13 I do agree with you.

 

How sad I am right now .

I wish I could go back.
