He got fired from work because he had his backpack in his friend's locker and his friend stole a video camera. They took them (both) to the police station but my boyfriend was clear. He got released from the police w/ out filing anything but he got fired from work just because they are assuming he took it too, now he doesnt have a job and they may put that on his records even though the police didnt file anything against him. The letter said "you substracted and it was on your posesion" and that he confirmed he did it too. But in reality he didnt say he did because he didnt do it. What can he do about it???
Only serious answers please this is something really important for us
Thanks for your help!!!

As far as I am aware, then is central employment records database.
When a potential employer wants to do a employment check, they will just call the employers that he has listed on his application/resume. He does have a right to know why he was terminated. If they say it was do to that "situation" then provide them with the letter to show that he was not involved and have them clear you from any wrong doings.
But, like the previous post, certain states allow you to terminate someone for any reason, so if they say "based on that situation it was best for the company" or something of that nature, than there is really nothing you can do. Just try to stop them from "black listing" him, so that he can get another job.

If you are in an at will state, then they can fire him for any or no reason at all. However, if this letter they have written (and presumably placed in his employment file) is false, then he can sue them for libel and possibly get a wrongful termination suit. Having a written document that blatantly states a falsehood like this is illegal. He should consult a lawyer and get this straightened out NOW or it could haunt him the rest of his life. He can't necessarily get his job back, but he CAN get this company for lying and making false statements against him.

I don't know what country you are in, but if in US the employer can only verify (1) He was employed here between (dates) (2) his position was (what he did), and (3) his salary was ($$$) and last, he is/is not elegible for re-hire. If they include any negative info you can sue the crap out of them...
Not much you can do to get job back legally....
