Hi everyone:
Well here's the situation: My friend has been offered a job, but they are doing a background check on him right now. He's really worried since he did a stupid thing when he was 16 (he's 20) now, when he shoplifted parts at a computer store, worth about $100 or less. He didn't even attempt to leave the store or anything.
Anyway, I guess what happened is that a police officer came to take him, if his parents didn't come. His parents paid for all the items stolen, and he couldn't come back to the store (either ever or 1 year). He didn't have any ID on him, and nothing was photocopied, but he wrote down his birthday, and got photographed.
He never went to court either or got anything in the mail like a civil citaiton (or something)? So, I was wondering if this is a minor record that employers can't find.. or should he pay $30 to get his records checked or something?
Please help! thanks
