I talked to a couple of AAers about this. Talk to an attorney (preferably one in the program, so it likely won't cost you anything) and make arrangements to send payments to the company you stole from to his firm, who can then forward it to the company explaining an ex-employee stole this money and wanted to make amends. The statute of limitations may have to have had run out in order for the attorney to do this. This way there would be no reason to worry about being arrested, but you could stay anonymous and make direct amends.
I don't know if the person I talked to followed through with this or what the results were, but I thought it was a pretty good idea.
