When I was 12 or 13 I stole a movie from a blockbuster in my hometown. I was never caught so it isn't on my record. When asked on the application if I had ever committed a crime whether I was caught or not, I am listing this incident knowing they will likely ask it on my polygraph prior to hiring. I know it is probably nothing considering I was so young, but as you know, I as well as most people in this forum are paranoid when it comes to getting hired! Do you think this will affect my chances of getting hired? I am 100% clean on my records and background checks. Just worried about this one glitch from 10 years ago.
Any thoughts from LEO's is appreciated,
Thanks

If that is your only glitch in 10 years, I am impressed. Stealing a movie at 13 years old? I wouldn't sweat it. When asked, you are honest and disclose it. No big deal. You Lie, You Die.

It won't hurt your chances of being hired.
