    Default Shoplifted at Costco, Signed Statement, Will It Show on Background Check

    My question involves a background check in the State of: CA

    My wife was caught shoplifting less than $20 at Costco about 7 months ago. There was no police report involved but she did have to sign a statement saying she was caught and to stay out of Costco stores.

    Is there any chance an employer running a background check today would find anything related to the shop lifting incident?

    Thanks in advance.

    How do you know that? The police do not have to tell her if they did file a police report.

    You can find agencies to run background checks on people. Landlords and employers use them all the time. It might cost $40. You could use such services yourself to find out if she has a record.

    It really depends. If no police were involved, it's unlikely that there's anything on her criminal record.

    She may, however, have been reported to the National Retail Theft Database. If she applies for a retail position and the employer checks that, she could well have difficulties.

    Thanks for the response. Two other questions: Do you know how common it is for employers, say in the software industry, to check a registry such as the National Retail theft Database? And, is there a way to check ourselves if she is listed in that database?
