I worked retail and I LOVED my job. I was good at it. One day, a woman came in and left. She lived far away. She called my store and said she lost a note 4, she said if it was found to turn it in to the ATT store so she could have it sent to her. Later on a phone matching the description was turned into me. I was excited I found the phone, I concealed it so my boss wouldnt question me and took it to the back of the store to make sure the description was correct. Well I thought I did the right thing until another woman (older) came in saying she also lost a note 4 on the counter. Said she was just talking on it. But the phone she was describing did not match as closely as the other woman. I told her it hadnt been found. I left work that sunday. Att was closed. I went home and left the phone IN my car. The next morning I took it to att. I was scared that I may of been wrong so I told them I purchased the phone from facebook and it was stolen. However I never even tried to use the phone. Didnt touch it. Well later (2 weeks later) the older woman threatened me. Said an employee stole her phone and she wanted to press charges because it was me. I told my manager everything. She believed me but told me she would have to tell loss prevention about the woman threatening me. Before I got off, I was called back to the office. lp was on the phone. They asked me a million questions and really made it seem like I was lying. They even told me that I was on video, like I said. It looked worse on video I didnt deny that but I never intended to use the phone. (I have a brand new note 5) att even confirmed I was there before they officially opened to turn it in (of course they told them what I said). They said that she could not of been talking on a factory reset device. I said that I didnt know, it just was prompting to set up as a new phone in my possession. I also didnt notice a sim card. (The other woman described the phone she lost as she had just bought it) well my manager just kind of told me she would have to fire me for not following company policy and just giving the woman her phone. I kind of expected that. My question is, when I spoke to the police voluntarily,they said it wasn't theft but no charges had been filed. But I really dont want to be in trouble. Im a really good person and I try to do the right thing. I did make a mistake but I wasnt trying to be a bad person.

You stole the phone. Plain and simple. That is a crime. It meets the elements of committing a crime.

I regretted the decision I made. Despite the fact I didnt have bad intentions. Its been a month since and a few weeks since I lost my job and I have not had a day that I didnt think about it. It seems really bad I know. I havent heard anything else about it but I worry about it. Im just ready for it to be over with

Then confess your theft and be done with it.
