so yesterday evening while shopping with my dad [he was in another section of macy's] i shoplifted 5 items including 2 shirts and a couple bras. the total of my shoplifting came out to $225.50. i was shaking when they took me in, i've never shoplifted clothes before.. always little things, but the reason why i did it was because i didn't have money with me on this day. i would have purchased the items if i did have money. they found a tiny scissor in my bag, but that was just there to cut my nails and sh*t, i used that to cut the tags off [since it was already there]. thats what they used as "proof"
my dad had to pay $500 in civil penalties and then i was taken to the police precinct where i was ultimately fingerprinted, taken pictures of, and kept in a cell for 2 hours. i got out on a DAT since my record is completely clean. i still have to appear in court in november though.
i understand what i did was wrong, i'm traumatized to ever do it again.
