If you stole checks but returned them before you cashed them, then you will not have to repay those monies to the company you stole them from as they have no right to profit from your wrongdoings. The cash you stole will have to be reapid as the condition of any sentence or probation. The period of your probation will depend on your prior criminal history and the court in which you appear. You appear to be in Broward County whose judiciary has the reputation of being extremely tough on crime.
