MomWT, does your son have money of his own? Could you have him write a letter of explanation and apology to the store and mail it to them with the items he stole using his own money for the mailing costs? My kids are a little younger and I have no experience with this age-group other than having been that age once, but a letter of explanation/apology seems to work a treat every time. Especially when they can't find a good reason to give the person as to why they did what they did (explanations = what and why)
