I was caught shoplifting at the mall and was required to attend a theft class. I was so embarrassed about getting caught and wanted to get my certificate as quickly as possible but I could not find a class offered locally. They were also pretty expensive considering the drive and time I would need to miss work to take it. Amazingly, I found a theft class on the internet.
After getting approval from the court, I looked into classes online. I was told I could complete the course in 18 hours. I was so happy to get this completed and not have the embarrassment hanging over my head.
I found a great shoplifting class online that was actually interesting and informative. I was able to do it from the comfort of my home which allowed me to think about my behavior and the choices I was making. The course told me how shoplifters think which was scary since I was beginning to think that way too. Now, I am aware of those thoughts and can stop them before acting on them.
To be honest, I'm glad I got caught. I am in a much better place now and not hiding anything. I would happily encourage anyone who has a shoplifting problem to take an online theft class. Do it for your personal growth and self esteem if nothing else.
