If the matter was dismissed then you have no record.

Petty theft is a crime of moral turpitude, and if convicted you can kiss your career aspirations goodbye.

While you may not have been found guilty of the charge, due to the dismissal, the criminal administration will show on your record. You need to expunge your record to assure it is clean. If the charge was indeed dropped, you do not have to declare it.

In Colorado, it probably will.

In Illinois, the arrest will show up unless it is expunged. Let me know if I can help.
