Let me start off by saying this was the stupidest thing I've ever done and have learned my lesson. Recently I figured out that I could steal high priced items from a retail store and return them and they would give me cash back. I have stolen and returned over $1,000 worth of merchandise to one card. While trying to return and item the loss prevention department walked up to me and confirmed my name. They then handed me a letter stating that the store recently conducted an investigation inot my refund activity and it revealed numerous questionable and problematic refunds. I was told they wanted my input and to call them to set up an appointment. Also in the letter it stated if I didn't call back within 10 business days they would conclude the investigation without my input. I called back that day and got the voicemail. I was never detained or asked to go with them anywhere. I was simply handed the letter and told to call them. I am so nervous about this it is making me sick. I am a single mother and I have NEVER been in trouble with the law. This was a total lapse in judgement. I'm wondering if anyone has had this happen and what the outcome was. I am really nervous!
 
These are multiple felonies including commercial burglary.

You might consider speaking to an attorney before doing anything else. You might also just remain mum and wait to see if they report you to the police. If the police come calling, lawyer up.

If you have no money for an attorney, the latter might be your best option as the state will have to provide you legal counsel if you are charged.
