More details to this question:
Can a fingerprint convict someone if it is on the object the stolen object was taken out of? The fingerprints would be everywhere, as it is the person’s work place. Could the cops use that fingerprint to come up with a new suspect? They have asked me to come in for finger print scanning. I am afraid it will match and they could simply use that to convict me, with no other evidence.

You have the right to remain silent. Only idiots talk to investigators/cops and go voluntarily for a fingerprint scanning. Remember, no matter what you say it will be twisted around and used against you later. Don't get tricked into going. Hire a lawyer.
