really scared !!! please help!!!

[Flicker]

I did something really stupid , I took a friends ATM card and got 160 dollors from her account with full intentions of paying it back, she gave me the pin number to it awhile back so I knew I could replace the money into the account. Unfortunatly she closed the account before I could do it and is now doing a investagation on the matter. I am so afraid of being convicted and I have never in my life commited a crime. I don't even have a driving record. I want to give the money back but now I don't know how to do it, other then just confess it to her stright out and take the chance that she will still press charges. What is the charge for this kind of crime and being it is the first time I have ever done anything like this. How long do I have before a investagation usually takes place to get the money back to her? I am so truly sorry for what I have done, I haven't been able to sleep or eat for weeks now.

Please any kind of advice would be greatful...

best thing to do would be confess and show how sorry you are. Hopefully its a good enough friend to forgive you. Might lose the friendship but spare time in jail. I am not sure what the crime would be classafide under for a fraud under 200 dollors. Maybe since its your first offence a fine and probation but not sure. Hopefully someone else has more insight then I do on this and can better give an answer.

Good luck!

I woud agree with the advice above.

...best to admit it and get it done asap. Get it done!

You are not going to get jail time for that and frankly the fact you had the pin will help too--that should not have been given to you--of course that does not excuse what you did.
