Shoplifting under 18 (Maryland), Will this show up? Affect work?
Hi there, a couple years ago I was caught shoplifting from a store (I was probably 15 or 16 at the time) and it took place in Maryland. My mom was with me so the manager didn't call the mall security but just talked to my mother and myself in the back room. I had to fill out a paper with my name and address (I can't remember what else it had on it). She said we would be fined. (I don't know if we ever were fined, my mother never brought up the incident again). I never went to court. My question is: When I apply for a job will it show up on a background check? Is it on my permanent record?
On the forms I fill out to get a job, if one of the questions is "Have you ever shoplifted?" can I say reply "no" or will they know I'm lying?
Thank you!!
