    I
    I am very grateful for the previous reply, but there is only one concern I hope to be answered.

    Its just sometimes I keep thinking that MAYBE one of the store owners had my CCTV footage and passed it to police. Its just because I left the country so quickly that they couldnt catch me.:(

    Previous content: Hello everyone, so in 2012 when I was under 16 on a trip to U.K I shoplifted three or four stores, cant remember the exact stores but the total stuff I toke was about 40 pounds. I know what I did was terribly wrong and I am ashamed of it. At that time I was suffering from severe mental issues, peer pressure, family troubles and my wallet was stolen during that trip. Not trying to explain since what I did was so wrong. I was not caught and no police was involved at least till I left.
    My mental state is normal now and I have got over all these issues. I am planning to apply for a uni in London, however i am terribly afraid that my visa will be rejected because the home office will find out that I have shoplifted and got away. If this happens all my efforts will be in vain, I know I sound a little bit ridiculous but I just cant stop thinking about this. Can someone give me some advice or just help me to calm down please?

    No one is going to search hours of CCTV in the hopes of finding a possible shoplifter.
    And if perchance they did spot something they aren't going to put all the effort of informing the police (who will file it anyway) in the faint hope of being able to identify the person.
    The police don't start manhunts over petty thieving.
    Relax and put it behind you.

      Thanks! Its just its the rule that after arriving in London I need to go to the police station to give them my photo, name and address. The police will archive my personal info. Just worrying about they may find out my shoplifting history when I give them my personal info.
