Re: theft

As a citizen of the United States you have the right to remain silent under the 5th Amendment to the US Constitution. That means you do not have to go to them, and you do not have to speak with them about anything. If they get a warrant, immediately contact a criminal defense attorney for specific advice about how to proceed.
