I got caught shoplifting a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal box

So here's what happened. I grabbed a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch while doing grocery shopping at a Walmart. I had $7 on me but the box was $8.<br><br>I tried to walk out without paying, while using a empty reusable shopping bag as my "paid for item" bag. I was caught and escorted away in handcuffs.<br><br>On the way to jail, the mall cop said "this is just the tip of the iceberg. You have a lot more issues than just stealing cereal. Get help. You're ruining your life."<br><br>Here I am. You guys are my first post-op experience. I've thought about it and I have realized that its true. Maybe I do have deeper issues.<br><br>I could have just waited a day until I got paid again. I didn't have to steal. But I did. I stole a box of cereal, and now I'm facing charges. I'm getting a lawyer but I'm worried about seeing jail time.<br><br>What do you think? Was it just the tip of the iceberg?
