You were probably lucky - if you go into sneak mode you can steal and not be caught.
Since you were caught I would avoid guards - I believe they will attempt to detain you if you talk with them. You can get your bounty cleared by some guild leaders.

I have usde it as a base camp of sorts.
surly your loot would be safe in that cave!
