Will I Go To Prison For First Offence Like Criminal Damage?

[cyprus2012]

I was very drunk the other night on saturday and my card got swallowed by a cash point so i hit it afew times of what i can remember and maybe just gave it a silly kick on the bottom frame out of frustration. i used nothing but bear hands and i had no cuts or bruises next day so surely i couldnt hit it that hard. i went back next day and there was no damage to the screen or anything and it still worked all fine the only thing i noticed is the frame where the keypad is wasnt there like it had been taken off and i dont know if it was cos i might of damaged it but im 99 per cent i would not of caused that much damage with how i hit it bear hand surely cant do that to a cash point. and like i said it still worked fine people were using it with some wires near kepad showing. i have no convictions at all and i work full time and am so scared and upset with what i done will i go to prison for this being my first offence. its been a week now and the cashpoint is still working fine and everything but the plate still hasnt been replaced and i havent heard from police is that a good sign

Go into the branch in the morning or phone them and report the cashpoint damaged.

Cyprus, i think you're either going to have to wait and see what happens-or go to the police and admit it. I can't think of any other options really. I'm wary of saying go to the police, but it might actually put your mind at rest.

This is a second thread ..beginning to suspect authenticity
