Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft accused of theft from my job

[guestpost]

I was working at a local hotel as a shuttle driver and maid during the graveyard shift recently. I quit without notice as my husband kept making me late and I was sure they were going to fire me. The other day a detective talked to me. He thinks I broke into the place while on shift and stole three TVs. There are no cameras or fingerprints. He claimed I was the last person to open the room with my key which I know is not true as I didn't take the TVs or notice any missing. He tried to get me to confess and told me he had enough to charge me, told me it was my last chance to confess. When I obviously didn't confess he let me go and told me that maybe he could work with me if I confessed later. Does he really have enough to charge me for something I didn't do, or was he just trying to pry a confession out of me so he could close the case? You would think he'd arrest me if he truly had enough.

Who knows what he knows, I don't.

You never have to say anything to the police, including, "I didn't do it."

Its best to politely decline to discuss ANYTHING, and ask to speak with a lawyer.

If the police return, say nothing but the following, "I wish to make no statement, and I am availing myself of my Miranda Right to remain silent."
