Thread: Im fucked, need serious advice

Ok, it was 6:30am on sunday morning and i was working in my little convience store called the Co-op.
I was really hungry and there was only me and my teamleader who was out in the back, so i decided to buy something from the shop and pay for it myself. (this is not allowed)
Ok so today i went into work and some professionals come in my shop and tell me to have an interview with them. K, they show me some photos of myself paying for the soda drink on the till that morning from CCTV cameras...now they tell me that the till that day was $70 down (basically it was short $70) and now it seems that im a key suspect (tills are actually down often). I have to have another meeting with the head of the company later next week and im not allowed to go into any of there stores and not allowed to work till the interview starts.

NOw, if i am proven guilty (I AM FUCK INNOCENT, I WOULDNT HAVE THE BALLS TO STEAL FROM THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE).....what will happen to me?
I know i have the risk of losing my job but what other consequences are there if the police become invovled?

Ps I am only 17

Firstly mate - don't worry - if you are innocent they have to prove otherwise

secondly - you will just get a caution even if they did find you gulity (which they won't)

Don't let it get you down fella

mate it should really be up to them to prove your guilt and not for you to prove your innocence. ever heard the saying innocent till proven guilty. fuck em if they're gonna acuse you of that then tell em fuck off and get another job. if they have footage of you paying for your drink in the till they should have footage of you taking the money out. and if you didn't nick it then they obviously havent got the footage. tell em balls and be insulted by it. don't be scared of gettin in trouble ocs you havent done anything wrong.

if you get convicted, they will charge you with petty larsony (theft under $1000) and you will have a very hard time getting a job where you deal with money


get a lawyer NOW.............. sell something, ask to borrow money, do what you gotta do because the justice system in this country is a joke

What country is this taking place in and what is your race?

i dont care if i lose my job, ill just get another one (the job's shite anyway)....what am i worried about is fees...last thing i need is a criminal record and a 2000 pound fine.

i wouldn't steal from my own fkin shop, it goes against my morals and i wouldn't risk taking a few quid just to get a criminal record.
I landed my ass in the fire because of one stupid mistake, dammit it looks so obvious its me but they couldnt be more wrong...

Im in england and im white, im 17 and have no history with crime

oh you're in england. If you were in america you could do one of two things:

1. be found not guilty

2. be found guilty and then appeal the ruling until they find you not guilty and call these dudes that erase your misdemeanor records.

Judging by the fact that people from england (wtf do you call people from england, britonians?) boo blair and some idiots over here still cheer for bush, i'm going to say that people over there aren't without reason.

Don't worry about it fella and a criminal record is not the end of the World at all
I work for massive US investment banks left right and Centre and none have ever checked on me before.


There is however a possibilty you'll end up in Nic with Mr Big rippin you a new A**hole over on B-Wing.

Seriously though im pretty experienced in matters with the filth
If you get taken to the Police station DO NOT accept the duty solicitor they will offer you and try and get hold of a known Barrister/Solicitor from your area and Keep your f*cking mouth shut until you get one.
Use legal aid or you could end up owing a fortune in court fees if it goes tits up.
And seriously don't panic because a Criminal record means f*ck all unless your 'Legally Spent' and you don't even have to declare a Criminal record on a job application etc unless you have been (Legally Spent)
It's a pretty minor offence and if it's your first then it's simply a slap on the wrist imo or if your Lucky you'll get community service (which is where you can make untold naughty contacts for the future)

Where do you live 77?

i dont know if the police will be involved as they mentioned nothing about it...
I live in bournemouth

Bit far for my Barrister
Can't imagine in a million years it will go to court then and if it did it would only be at Magistrate level.
You may loose your Job but as far as prosecution goes your home and dry by a mile imo.
Seriously wouldn't worry about it mate.

Yeh spot on mate - fukk the pikey wankers

thxs guys, i appreciate it....i honestly really do

Ive got a couple of mates who were caught stealing where i work(they worked there too) and they just got fired and one was escorted from the shop by the police and that was it basically.
