1) The severity of the consequences depend on what state it occurred in.
2) Your friend could face time in a juvenile detention center.
3) So long as you didn't help execute the theft and didn't help your friend hide their crime after it was done, you are not an accomplice. There are few crimes where it is a crime for not reporting (those are usually child abuse crimes).
4) If the police did come to you, immediately ask for your parents AND a lawyer. Don't tell them anything without asking for both parents AND a lawyer. Then, with your lawyer, you will tell them everything you know. Otherwise you are obstructing justice and if you say you don't know anything (if under oath) you are committing perjury.
My advice, don't worry about anything unless the police come to you asking questions. It is very unlikely that anything will happen. If your friend did not get caught while leaving the store, truthfully, they probably will get away with it . . . this time.

Yes, your friend can in fact in get in some trouble. Did she get caught leaving the mall with the items? More than $300 dollars worth is a felony. When you discuss the problem with the authorites, you can tell them you told her to stop, however they might still say you are an accomplise for that you did not report the crime. If caught, depending on the judge, she may have to do some probabtion, community service, pay for the items and return them or go to Juvi. As for you, because you did not do it, you might get something lighter, or nothing at all, depending if she admits that it was her and not you. Most likely, you will not get in trouble especially if she is the one with the merchandice.
Did you guys get caught leaving? If not, it's highly unlikely that she will get in trouble now, it would have to be right when you left. Unless she had broke in and stole the items and the store reported them. If it was during business hours, it's unlikely that they will be looking for anyone. They would have done it then,
I'd keep my distance before she brings you down with her hun.
Take care, and hope this helps.

Stealing over $2000 worth of merchandise is a felony. If caught and convicted ,they will most likely be sent to juvenile hall until they are 18.

anything over 100 dollars in the state of north carolina is a felony. you can go to jail 1-15 years, not be allowed to vote, and will probably have problems finding a job seeing as how felony is listed on your background. also, you cannot buy a fire arm , and some colleges will prohibit you from obtaining certain degrees. hope this helps, thats all i know.

the first question on rfile I-94W for those travelling the U.S. on the Visa Waiver application asks: have you ever been arrested or convicted for an offense or crime concerning moral turpitude or a contravention concerning a managed substance; or been arrested or convicted for 2 or more effective offenses for which the mixture sentence to confinement change into 5 years or more effective; or been managed substance trafficker; or are you in search of get entry to to have interaction in criminal or immoral events? No training is geared up to the vacationer as to which offenses are blanketed interior the definition; the cyber web website of the U.S. embassy in London advises that a visa is needed for all people who has ever been arrested or convicted for any offense.[7] An arrest that does no longer convey about a conviction causes someone to be inadmissible (below the Visa Waiver application) to us of a if that arrest change into for an offense or crime concerning moral turpitude. There are Petty Offense exceptions to this rule, in spite of if convicted. A police caution for hashish use might want to also deem someone inadmissible as this can be "a contravention concerning a managed substance". there is no particular customary of admissibility for the visa waiver application. edited again... it variety of feels as in spite of the undeniable fact that they could %. and choose which crime is wonderful or no longer.. in case you be conscious what i mean

Tough Luck! It's called shoplifting (Theft) and probably carries a very hefty fine for your parents and the others parents or you could do juvenile time with your friends (severity depending where your from).
