I accidentally dropped one of those solar powered outdoor lamp things while trying to hand it to my mom, I’m pretty sure it broke, but I didn’t pay for it. I don’t think it was more than $10, but now I feel really guilty. I asked my mom to take me back to the store today so I could pay for it, but she never did. I don’t think we’ll be back there for a while.

What should I do?
 
You could just call their store manager, explain what happened, and offer to mail a check. After that it should be resolved. One time something got broken when we were out and as I remember, the manager waived it off and said not to worry about it. :o
 
if you really wanted to, you could try calling them about it and see if they will let you send them the money, although i would think they would just say not to worry about it, but it’s always good to find out first and not just assume they wouldn’t care.

but don’t let this stress you out, you didn’t do anything malicious and you certainly didn’t do it on purpose, it was just an accident, and it’s not a mortal sin at all, i’m not sure if you could even consider it a sin at this point, because you never meant to leave it without paying, and now that you’ve realized it you want to pay for it, so i don’t really see any sin here…i think it would only fall under sin, and only venial sin, if you decided not to because you don’t care,

just do what you can when you can, but don’t let it rob you of your peace, it’s not a big deal, although i think it’s good to be concerned, but don’t go overboard with it, it’s enough that you try to do you’re best to do what’s right, and then that’s all you can do.
i’m not trying to belittle the situation though, so don’t get me wrong, you should try and pay for it if they want you to, but all i’m saying is, don’t let it stress you out, it’s not good to be stressed out even with our sins.

ok, hope this helps, take care.
 
well, I could have paid but didn’t at first I thought my mom had dropped it after i handed it to her, but she says I dropped it. Part of me was saying I should have paid for it, but I just didn’t. It isn’t the fact that I dropped it that bothers me, but that I didn’t pay for it when I could have.
 
Stores carry insurance for this very reason. If it was an accident, it was an accident, and that’s what insurance is for. If you were in a little boutique, then they may get stuck
“eating” the cost, but in a big box store, they assume a certain amount of loss in their business model.
