Get a lawyer. This may end up being a felony charge.
A lawyer may be able to get this down to a misdemeanor or even some program where you end up with no record.

Based upon what you told me, You will probably be charged with a felony. You are not in a good situation. Hire an attorney.

I have never heard of a stealing over charge. In Michigan it would larceny over $2000 and a felony.

You are probably facing grand theft charges and will be facing a few years on probation and restitution. Hire an attorney in your area.

Stright and honest will get you nowhere. If you think by opening your mouth and incrimating yourself that somehow your case will look better, you are dead wrong.
You better hire a lawyer before you make more mistakes. Theft is a crime of moral turpitude, and if you have it on your record you can pretty much kiss your career aspirations goodbye.
