This reminds me of "Gran Torino"
If the kid's apology seemed sincere I would give him another chance.



I had a unicycle go missing at a music festival last summer, got it back a few weeks later, it was just a misunderstanding. (someone thinking it was someone else's who already left, and it was sitting abandoned in the main-stage area overnight)

I think UNO did well!

since I am a punk - even so I am 47years and do not always look like one - I like to add that beeing punk is somthing like a "society revolutionist" but not a thief.
nevertheless I had some trouble with privat property while beeing young.
only one example:
I had a lot of trouble with my father, while "stealing" flowers from a public park for my mother, while my father, -a lawyer - cuts roses from the sideway hanging over the fences from privat gardens, cause this is legal (in germany).

when I was young (and even today) it was hard to understand the difference between legal "stealing" by adults, politicans, and "people who have right because they are tricky, have the best lawyers and most cash" and "illegal stealing" because you are poor, young, without lawyer and without cash.
children find examples for that every day in their surrounding and in TV....and they like to test their limits.

anyway - I hate the guy(s) who steal my 26" Koxx montser from my yacht three years ago

Here in the states (and possibly elsewhere) the term punk is used in 2 different ways.
1: To talk about people who are into punk culture
2: To describe someone in a negative way. For instance, someone who is a brat, like "Oh that kid is such a little punk"

But the two are not related to each other in this instance. Although I think that is where the term came from in the first place?

I'm a geek, so I looked it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock
Etymology

From the late 16th through the 18th century, punk was a common, coarse synonym for prostitute; William Shakespeare used it with that meaning in The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602) and Measure for Measure (1623).[70] The term eventually came to describe "a young male hustler, a gangster, a hoodlum, or a ruffian"

Kleptomania is a pretty serious disease.
The kid should take something for it.

I believe there is a self-help group; "helping kleptomaniacs to help themselves".
