    Theft under 5000
    I stole 2000 from a superstore 10 months ago and I am just being asked by the cops about it now I don't work there anymore of course. I have never been in trouble before and I am 23 years old I was wondering how much trouble I am in and what should I do? I am very scared and I have a 2 year old baby to worry about to... I hope someone can really give me some advice.

    Hello pepsi:

    Don't talk to the cops. If they arrest you, hire a lawyer.

    I know, you think you can talk your way out of it, but you can't. The more you talk, the deeper you dig your hole. I'm telling you the truth. Be quiet.

    Yes, don't admit anything, don't make any statements, don't answer any questions without an attorney.

    Hire an attorney now.

    The cops told me they were investigating it and I had the choice to go and talk to them and that it wasn't urgent. So I should look for a lawyer first?

    Hello again, pepsi:

    Let me repeat, DON'T TALK TO THE COPS. Should I say it again??

    What do you think they're trying to do? Do you think they're trying to help you? Cops don't get ahead by letting people go. They get ahead when they BUST people, and throw them in the slam.

    Hire a laywer. TODAY.
