Hi, i am 17 years old and i was just recently caught shoplifting at a Kohls department store with $20 of merchandise. The LPs came and brought me to their room in the back. I sat there and i was with my friend who was 18 years old, and they made us sign these papers i had to sign one admittting i did leave w/o intention of paying and my friend had to sign two the one i signed and then a (tresspass) i think. They did not call the police and they took a picture of him, i do not remember them taking a picture of me, they might have though. They took down our license numbers adress phone numbers, etc. Then they let us leave and said we are not allowed in the store or any other Kohls. My friend was allowed to sign me out and my parents didn't need to be notified. Ive heard that they woill send me a letter making me pay some amount below $1000. I would like to involve my parents as less as possible. I was wondering if this will go on any record, i am planning to appy for work soon, will i need to put that i have been convicted of a crime? And will this ever be cleaned off my slate if it is on my record anywhere. This was an ugly incedent and i am very stupid for having done it, i would like to put it all behind me, any help would be much apperciated thank you.
