Shoplifting penalty for foreigner

Hello,
I am not German and I don't speak German and I really hope someone could reply to me in English. I have Meldebestätigung, because I work from/for 4 months here.

Two days ago I committed a very embarrassing act - I got caught in a theft of accessory at price of 22€.
After I gave my passport to the security he called the police, because I didn't have my Meldebestätigung. The policeman asked me to give him my current address. Since I was extremely shocked (I experience this for first and hopefully for last time) I didn't ask about the details I am worrying now. The police got a video and a written report from the security and then informed me that I have to expect a letter from the police.

My contract will be over at the end of the month when I will go back home. From December I won't have a residency in Germany, I won't even have a bank account here. This means that I won't be able to receive the letter. From your forum I understood that for first crime for small amount most likely I will receive a letter with a penalty, but if I am not able to pay it in a week I will have to go to jail.
I would like to pay the penalty (after all I deserve it) but I don't know how this could be possible if I don't know when, how much and to whom to pay, because I won't be able to receive the letter. What I really don't want to happen is to be caught at German airport and to be imprisoned.
I forgot to mention that I am coming from EU country and I am passing by German airports often when I am travelling.

Is it possible the letter to be sent to my home address if I go to the police office and give it to them?
Could I pay the penalty from abroad?
Could you please advice me what will be the best solution in my case.
Thank you in advance!

Best regards

In the first case of shoplifting there will be usually no penalty ("fine" ist the right word - penalty is more the punishment in sportmatches). Usually they close the case - called "Einstellung des Verfahrens". But to make it sure, you can tell the authorities the adress of a "Zustellungbevollmächtigter" - somebody, who get the letters for you. This can be a friend or a lawyer. And of course you can pay a fine from abroad ( in case you get one) - just transfer it from your bank to the german bank account of the justice.

Thank you a lot for the replies and the support.
I will visit a post office tomorrow and I will ask them to redirect my letters to home.

I really hope in the letter I'll receive full bank details.

And I am sorry if I am very confident that I will receive a fine. I just don't want to be stopped at the airport.

All the best
