Hi Lila, could you please provide me with your location? The laws about theft and its consequences vary depending on the jurisdiction.

Hi Lila, in Minnesota:
- If your friend was not caught or charged, it's unlikely that the theft will show up in a background check.
- However, if the theft was reported and she was convicted, it could appear in public criminal records.
Remember, honesty is always the best policy.
So she won’t get caught registering her fingerprints?
If your friend wasn't arrested or charged for the theft, her fingerprints won't be in the criminal database. So, she won't get "caught" during a regular fingerprinting process for work.
