A friend and I got arrested of a shoplifting crime stole (2 Hot Wheels Cars)in Canada (1981 at 15, I'm 42 now) but the charges we're dropped ,and did not get fingerprinted... Will this affect my N-400 ...Thanks

No ...

... juv records are sealed and in your case purged.

Thanks

I figured it was a silly question but it wouldn't hurt to ask..Thanks Again..

Nope, it wasn't silly ..

... this was actually an appropriate question.

If you really want to see silly questions, see the ones that a lot of lazy people post here!

Take care.
