A background check normally only checks your criminal record; if nothing was ever done in the legal system such as charges laid, convictions or trials, then no, it won't show up. However, if the person wanting the check also wants a reference from the employer who fired you for theft and/or asks why you were fired from that job, they will find out what happened.
