Any person can be charged by a prosecutor who thinks they can prove them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of committing a crime. Whether you can be convicted is a whole other question.
You can be charged, but that doesn't mean you will be convicted. They still have to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Is there any other proof besides what you stated? Was there other people that had access perhaps? This is a typical larceny in a building case that can be tough for prosecutors to prove because often they are based upon the victim's word alone. Do not speak to the police or agree to take a polygraph. Be proactive and consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer now. Do not wait until you are charged. A good lawyer may even be able to dissuade the police or the prosecutor from filing charges.
