    Were you scared when you were stealing? I will assume this is not the first time you stole, just the first time you got caught.

    You will have a record of some sort, but most likely not jail. However, if you get caught again, you will most likely experience "life inside". You may have a hard time getting a job handling money, even at McDonalds!
