hat to do if I was in a school because the door was unlocked and me and my friend were walking aroung just looking at stuff?
My friend and i were in a school looking around because a door was unlocked. Police showed up because someone saw us go in the building (door in a court yard was unlocked). we only went in because it was our elementary school we went to when we were younger. Me and my friend both go to the high school within the same district. The police called the school and asked if the school wants to press charges (we don’t know yet). $30,000 worth of laptops were also stolen and they said we’re going to be blamed since we were the only people caught in the school.

Okay I know that you are probably scared to do this but you need to speak with your parents as soon as you can. The police have only "circumstantial" evidence but do not get me wrong: it could be enough if you were trespassing and the only ones found in the school. However, the fact that you were approached in the school with out the laptops and that the door was unopened gives some reasonable doubt that you may not have been the only people in the school that day. Get an attorney asap. Good luck.
