Dear Mike:

In the last line: “If I suddenly disappear…” – what do you mean? I am guessing but don’t know.

As far as the theft, I asked you on my first reply to you how you felt about the job because I thought the act of stealing was a way for you to terminate the job because you were sick and tired of it. I may have been correct about it. You resigned first, you wanted out, but maybe you were too uncomfortable about such a direct initiative on your part and instead you gave them the power to make the choice for you..? Sort of a passive-aggressive way to express your anger and end the job instead of the assertive way of resigning?

I like the Arizona idea if the last line does not mean what I think it may mean. You are single, no children. And so, you are free. Why not? It is only you that you need to take care of. No one holding you in any one place…

And you can get other jobs here and there, minimal maybe, just so to physically survive, only not in retail.
