Legal or not, you've got a felony theft on your hands. Theft is a crime of moral turpitude, and if convicted you can kiss your career aspirations goodbye. Hire a lawyer before you get duped into a plea you will regret for life.

Did she ask in return for not calling the cops? If so this might be extortion.

Most employees are at-will meaning you can be fired at anytime for no reason (unless unlawful discrimination such as ace, race, gender, etc.). Unless you were a tenured employee, then you probably have no recourse. You can always talk to your boss to see if they will reconsider.

If you meaning is it legal for her to ask for the that you stole to be returned absolutely she can. Nothing illegal about that.

North Carolina is an 'At Will' state. You can be fired on a suspicion.
