To me it sounds like you made a bad moral judgement call. As Mygrandjourney said, just try to do what you can to make things right. I don't think you're a bad person, I know you to well to think that, good people can do bad things at times, the difference is you felt bad about it and hopefully you'll make things right. The other things simply sound like absent-mindedness.

Here are the DSM-5 criteria for kleptomania if you're interested though.
  • You have a recurrent inability to resist urges to steal objects that aren't needed for personal use or monetary value
  • You feel increasing tension immediately before committing the theft
  • You have feelings of pleasure, relief or gratification during the act of stealing
  • The theft isn't committed as a way to exact revenge or to express anger and isn't done while hallucinating or delusional
  • The stealing isn't related to a conduct disorder, a manic episode of bipolar disorder or antisocial personality disorder
