[quote=Anonymous]You definitely need to ask him about it.  We had one time when I got my kid something and I had the item in hand, he doesn't see it, and put another in the cart.  I pay for the one in hand but don't pay for the one in the bottom of the cart and then we end up with two.  I found it when unloading the cart at the car and was able to walk back in and return the item at the customer service desk.  I said this was in our cart, but we didn't pay for it and didn't want to buy it and handed it back.   They took it without question.

If you determine that he stole it, I would keep everything else the same, but I would return the extra pair, but dock his allowance for the cost of the second pair.  So the item is returned to the store, he doesn't get the item but he still pays for the item.  But he gets his other Christmas gifts, etc.  I think this comes closer to what real life penalties are.  Think of the cost of the item as a fine.  And he's on house probation with much more serious penalties should he do anything else back in the next month or so.[/quote]
