Well, certainly if you admit to them that you stole, whether you did it or not, they will file charges against you. You should get an attorney immediately, and make no statements to anyone without your attorney present. I just can't emphasize this enough. Talk to NO ONE. People often make the mistake of believing if they're "honest" or even tell the interrogator what they want to hear, things will be okay. It won't be okay. Get an attorney, and don't let them railroad you. You may think the evidence points to you, but if it did, you'd have already been arrested.
