snitchuation

An unfortunate development that occurs due to someone's either having tattled on you, or having stolen one or more objects.

Certain overzealous co-workers may be tempted to snitch on someone if they see him snitch one of the boss's donuts, but this favor-seeking action can lead to said busted pastry-thief's resentfully retaliating on said snitch, and the resulting snitchuation can then quickly escalate into an ugly full-blown snitching-war!
