Hi Debbie,
I just wanted to say that your theft happened as a result of your situation being out of control.  Having been an ex bankrupt and someone that has been through hell and back with finances, if you want any advice or support to get some control back then check out the money advisory service online or also speak to creditors.  If the money issues were wracking up because of non-official debts (rents, owing friends or family money) then please, I urge you to speak to someone about it.  Your theft was a cry for help and sadly it will now stay with you, but I really hope now that you are able to get some help. xx
