That's a very serious crime and you could not only go to jail for falsifying a police report, you leave yourself wide open for lawsuits: for example, if you claim more was stolen than actually was, whoever stole it could sue you if your false claims got them a harsher punishment, and your insurance company could sue you if they replace items that weren't actually stolen. If you actually did file a false theft report, you need to contact the police as soon as possible, admit what happened and hope they allow you to change it.
