My friend stole something worth 30 dollars from a sex shop and he was caught and soon has a court date. Before he was I made him return the item by putting it back on the shelf with no harm done.

Just pleading guilty would result in a criminal conviction which could impact his future opportunities for many years. He should consult with a local criminal attorney to review his situation and legal options. Use the "find a lawyer" tab above.
A theft conviction can have serious consequences on employment. Future employers often do not want to hire someone with a theft conviction. So a conviction will haunt him for a long time. Your friend should talk to a lawyer in Augusta about this.
