My friend (evan) was renting a garage from Dan. The lease does not have my name. The lease was ended and we had to leave. I then stole the car lift Dan had in the space and sold it on facebook marketplace using my girlfriend's account. Dan found the post on marketplace and went to the police. I have not been arrested but Dan has posted my girlfriends info all over social media. I want this to stop because shes now being harrassed. What will happen to me if I confess to the crime?
