Theft Under 5000/ way under 5000
Okay this is probably one of the dumbest things I have done, day before yesterday I was caught on my own street with 2 other friends and I went into an open car, now I was not going to steal any money, I just didn't want to look like a pansy, I know stupid excuse. Anyway, right when I was in the car I saw cd's like 5, I took music I do not even listen too, paula abdule and casy and the sunshine band. And not sure what the others were a couple were burned cd's. As I left the driveway my friends were already up ahead and talking to a stopped car, three guesses who it was, the police, so anyway I got slapped in handcuffs and placed in the back of the car, I am 21 years old and this is my first offense. Anyway he drove to the house to confirm if they were their cd's and then he came back to the car, drove a bit around the block and stopped in front of my house and let me go, before that though he wrote up a ticket saying the 15th of march I have to get finger printed at my station, and then have a court date on the 22'nd of march. He told me what would happen though if I didn't go he said it will be a criminal record, but he told me if I went I would most likely just get a fine and no criminal record. I live in Canada Ontario if that helps. Reason why I am so concerned is that I am applying for the military, it is something I have been preparing for since last year, and have been thinking about since at least the past 5 years.
So what do you guys think will happen and is there anything I can do to not get a criminal record. Oh and might I just add I was going to return the cd's, not back in their car I was going to put it back in their mail boxes. Believe what you want but that is just not the way I am, I never had done anything like this before, and I was also intoxicated on alcohol. Any help would be greatly appreciated, it sucks I really need to get new friends. I know it was me that did it, but it was peer-pressure that fully pushed me to do it.
