What level are you? The only thing that i can think of is to tear ass out of Whiterun and try coming back later. or you could go to a previous save typically there are 2 or 3 auto saves on the computer check for your most recent one before the alleged thievery, you may have to back track and repeat a few things but it is better then getting your ass kicked by some overzealous guards. See crime doesn't pay
