Knowing someone had committed petty theft is at least a red flag. I can't blame an employer for considering it disqualifying when they have many equally qualified candidates without it. Even for a burger flipper, let alone a secret agent.

If you don’t at least mention that damning fact on your polygraph, of course it is!

Not getting caught for it on the other hand could be a positive.
