    I wasn't attempting to defend the indefensible. Shoplifting is wrong and the OP will indeed have to live with the consequences.

    I'm simply questioning Woody's statement that he/she has never done anything illegal. I very much doubt there's anyone that can honestly say that.

    I can see your point to a degree, I am sure we have all parked on a double yellow line.

    So many judgemental people making nasty comments.

    What's judgemental about saying that stealing's wrong; it's hardly a matter of opinion!

    Why should you have to be whiter than white to have an opinion about theft?

    As said your only option is to come clean.

    Not a chance you will avoid getting sacked though imo

    Where did I say anyone had to be whiter than white to have an opinion? I didn't say anything of the sort. I didn't say Woody was wrong or that he/she wasn't entitled to an opinion.

    The only thing I commented on was Woody's statement that he/she had never done anything illegal.

    Ive given my opinion on this already, and reading the following comments thought of something else, and im almost sure ill get bashed for this but...

    As people say you were caught.. is this the first time you have shop lifted?
    or is it the first time you have be caught in your own area?
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies

    to be fair i dont think that makes a blind bit of notice if she did it once or many times she stole from a shop in the same shopping centre where she works its downright stupid

    the thing is the OP came on here for advice, not abuse which is what I am reading.

    I am really sorry but unless some posts have been deleted I can't see any abuse here. I can only see facts.

    I'd just resign as if news gets out life will be difficult. Silly girl is all I can say.
