Depending upon the criminal charges, the statute of limitations could be from one to seven years. If he hasn't filed charges yet, he may not ever. If he does, you should hire a counsel to help you in this. As to him breaking the law, you could file a police report of his crimes if you have any proof. You would risk kicking a sleeping dog and antagonizing him into filing charges against you.

For him to sue you in a civil court and recover a judgment against you it is six years. For criminal prosecution for Grand Larceny in the Second Degree (more than $1,000.00) the time limit is five years.

3 years is the statute of limitations for most felonies like theft crimes.

The statute of limitations for felony theft is 3 years. What you likely would be charged with is embezzlement and the statute of limitations is 3 years from the date that your employer "knew or should have known. However, your employer cannot legally steal your pets or anything of yours as that is also against the law. You should have met with a criminal defense law firm a long time ago to help you.

6 years is the statute of limitations in this kind of matter and yes they can charge you still. If the boss keeps doing crimes himself he lowers the chances that he will have you charged since he is committing crimes himself.

If you boss has stolen anything from you, then you should file charges against him. As for the statute of limitations, they would have six years from the time the offense occured.
