[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who feels like this is the kid’s lesson to learn? He should have secured the keys. The consequence is he needs to either get the key back, or take the bus until he can earn/save the $550 to rekey it.

At this age, shouldn’t the parents be as hands off as possible? [/quote]

You should be able to leave your keys in your bag and not have someone go through it.  If this occurred in any setting besides a school it would be considered theft and prosecuted. The ops teen did learn a lesson.

The ops kid learned a lesson on why we do secure our property.  Sadly, we have to do it to reduce temptation for thieves.  Just because a person leaves their front door unlocked doesn't mean you have the right to break into their home and steal their stuff.

These are teens.  Parents should be involved.  Teens lack the development to make decisions so do some young adults.  Having a parent to support and guide you without infantalizing  is important.   The kids who moved the car will hopefully learn from this too.  He's lucky it was only $550, the car wasn't in an accident and that it was a school setting likely in the burbs and people are more understanding.  [/quote]
