[quote=Anonymous]It should be prety easy to check with the camp to see if this is the case.   Adopt a 'trust but verify" stance.  Tell him:  OK, you've provided me ith an explanation that makes sense, but I want to make sure the camp doesn't want these things back so I' going to call the director.  OK with you?"

This gives him a chance to come clean if he's been lying to you.

If not, get him to tell you the name of the person who told them they could take stuff home.  Then you check in with the camp and they verify that kids were told to take stuff home.

If they say it wasn't ok, have your son bring the stuff back.  I think that it's very possible that one of the camp counselors said, yeah, take what you want ... if not, your child has learned a lesson about responsibility.

I honestly think taking stuff from the lost and found at the end of camp isn't the same as stealing from kids during camp --- it if wasn't sanctioned, it was probably more a case of bad judgment and impulsivity.  [/quote]
