Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

I would certainly be concerned, if I were you, that you will be accused. You probably want to meet with a lawyer very quickly so you can make sure to establish any alibi or helpful witnesses before memories fade.

In a situation like yours, I believe it is good to have an attorney before the police contact you, which they certainly will. Even with no history, being arrested for residential burglary will almost certainly mean bail will be set, and it becomes very difficult to defend yourself from in jail.

It depends. Because you are the named renter of the vehicle, you will be the looked at by the police as at least a "person of interest" if not the prime suspect. The police will be looking for you and they will want to question you so get an attorney right away before the police contact you and get at least a consultation as to how to protect your rights. The other attorney is quite correct in that you had better think about your whereabouts and alibi witnesses for the time and date in question. You also may have other problems if the police decide to impound the vehicle in order to search it for evidence, which could take several days to several weeks and you could be liable for the rental charges for that entire time until the vehicle is released. And then there is the potential problem you will have with the rental car company if the person who drove the car during the burglary was not you, therefore an unauthorized driver. You will be asked the ultimate question of "Who was driving your rental car (or who did you allow to drive your rental car) beginning from what date and time until the date and time it was returned to you. I do not know (or remember) will not be an acceptable answer and will likely make you the prime suspect. Good Luck!
