The prosecution needs to show that you intended to help them. This can be infered by your contact, they don't need to get you to say it.
If you shown to have intended to help, you will be chraged as an accesory before the fact and would get whatever the other 2 got.

Out of all the answers so far NO ONE has given the correct one.
YOU NEED TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY...AND NOW!
Of course being a minor, your parents will have to arrange for this. But it is extremely important.
We can all sit here and speculate about what the court will do, how the law will be interpreted, what the charge or punishment may be, but an attorney will be able to legally and more intelligently advise you (and also ask the proper questions to find out how the situation sits).

If you knew for a fact that they were going to do this then you could be charged with Criminal Conspiracy. You would get the same charge the others would receive. Burglary is Felony of the 1st degree in PA.
Your only alternative is that you did not know what they were going to do there. You would be smart to turn them, write a written statement for the police before the law catches up with you. If you are innocent and didn't tell anyone when you found out......you are arrested! Trust me! Do the right thing!

You were an accomplice. Depending on PA laws and the fact that you're a minor will determine your punishment. Did you mean to let them break in somewhere? You might get off on probabtion b/c I knew someone who burned down a good deal of a forrest and they got 5 years probation. And that's a pretty big thing. But they were minors.

They could bring you to court and of course ask you. Play it cool and you should be okay as long as you didnt know what they were doing
