Originally posted by TimothyMorgan View PostI fell into a desperate situation and found myself stealing from a client (tesco) to try and raise some funds to put into my bank monday. I was caught and the issue has been raised with the police and I believe I am being prosecuted. I am deeply ashamed of doing so and I have lost my job (obviously).
If you have addictions or other problems that mean you need money NOW, then get help for those.
When you get to the point of stealing being your only option, it's time to look at the bigger picture. Stealing is never your only option if you want to sort whatever problem it is out.
Good luck - and I mean that.Comment

Oh and OP posting things on the internet using your real name while under a criminal investigation is bloody stupid, but then you were stupid in the first place to attempt to steal from a client."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
