    Theft under 5000
    Ok me and 2 other guys got caught for theft under 5000, the total cost of the items was4300 or something... Im the only one over 18, others are 16 my share of the thngs was approx 1200... I was just wondering what kind of punishment am I looking at? This is my first offence, I haven't so much as sneezed towards crime before.

    Canada, also this was from an employer and I was wondering is it going to be hard (if not impossible) to get this pardoned?

    You should have stolen it before your turned 18…

    Anyway, it's your first offence, get yourself a lawyer, and hopefully you will not get any jail time.

    As for the pardon…

    Who can qualify for one?

    Here are the guidelines set out from the Government's website:

    1. Have you been convicted of a federal offence as an adult?
    2. Has it been at least three (3) years since you completed your sentence?

    IF you answered “Yes” to both questions then you may be eligible to apply for a Pardon.

    Note: “Completed your sentence” means that you have paid all fines, costs, surcharges, and made restitution or compensation, and completed any order of probation, conditional sentence, and incarceration (which includes time on parole and statutory release).
