is my friend going to jail
my friend went into 2 peoples cars and stole their GPS's then he sold them to cash converters . We went up there today to sell some stuff and they said that one of the gps's had come up as stolen and that the cops were working on the case . is he going to get arrested ? can he just say someone gave him the stolen gps's or do you think they fingerprinted the car and all that stuff ? what happens if they do catch him, hes 18? thanks !

Your friend committed a crime. As the saying goes if you can't do the time don't do the crime. As to whether or not he goes to jail is going to be up to the judge after the police catch him, if the catch him.
Depending on the value of the units he stole he could be looking at Grand Theft which is a felony. Judges take felony charges very seriously even for first offenders. Your boyfriend should be prepared to do some type of prison or jail time. A mitigating factor will be how hard the police have to work to find him. In other words if he turns himself in and tells the truth; the judge will be more inclined to go easier on him than if he lies to the police and the police have to track and chase him down.

Eunice is wrong
Your friend had stolen an item, he also broke into 2 cars. Guess what...You friend likely earned himself a theft and breaking and entering charge.
Cops don't let things like this go lightly, If he wanted to reduce the chances of charges being bought against him then he should of done the right thing and turned himself in. Also he knowingly decided to turn the GPS into cash well the chances of your friend having a criminal record are pretty high and you could get it expunged but this can only happen after 5 years of it sitting on your record.
Your friend was stupid, Now he needs to face some consequences to his actions. The charges he may face all depend on the crime committed but probably looking at Theft, Larceny, Breaking and Entering etc. but you know what.....If you don't want the time, Don't do the crime!
