Did you tell your parents & have a lawyer? Do you have an actual court date scheduled? You will probably be required to pay a fine. Talk to your/a lawyer.

First off NEVER name to store or yourself on public post! Next much will depend on your record (if any) and your unnamed state's laws on theft. Since you provide little info there is not much more we can offer other than to advise you to consult an Attorney.

For the hundredth time:
Shut up, admit to nothing, be polite, remain calm, stay out of more trouble, plead not guilty in court, hire a lawyer (or ask the court to appoint one for you, if you can't afford to hire a lawyer), wait for this drama to play itself out, discuss the case ONLY with your lawyer and NO ONE else, eventually this will all be washed away, or you'll be given a chance to do community service, perhaps pay a small fine, and you'll be pure as the driven snow, if you do all the things required by the court to cleanse the filthy stain from your once clean name.

It's California. Almost nothing will happen. Mom and Dad will pay some fines on your behalf IF you are found guilty.
Assuming it its a first offense this won't tarnish your record the least bit. It most likely will be handled as an infraction, no different than a traffic ticket.
