Best Answer

Depending on the value of the goods that were stolen - the charge could be either a misdemeanor or a felony.

A criminal record. Punishment will depend on what legal jurisdiction you're in. But you could be looking at fines, doing community work, restrictions on movement or times you can go out etc. It will also mean that the police are more likely to come to you if there are other crimes in the area or where you work. It can mean not being able to get a job or even losing a job in future if your employer finds out you have a record.

A criminal record will stay with you for life. Some states have some system were you don't have to declare convictions after a certain time but there are usually many exceptions. If, in the future you want to work in a security job, work in a bank, work with children or other vulnerable people. Then you may have to declare your conviction.
Like any arrest, it depends on your previous record and the severity of the crime. It can range anywhere from probation to jail time.

"Loss of trust" is not a factor in law and legal terms, it is a sociological question.
