 Aruch Hashulchan 360:1 writes that if the victim is willing to accept compensation instead of the item, the thief may pay instead of returning the item. Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 88 agrees. </ref> If it was lost or stolen, or if it's no longer in its original form, he must pay its value to the victim.<ref> Shulchan Aruch CM 360:1, Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 88 </ref> The same laws applies for stealing from a non-Jew.<ref>Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 88. see Igrot Moshe CM 1:88 </ref>
 ===Stole as a Minor===
-#
+# A person is not responsible for something he stole as a minor, meaning a man before the age of 13 and a woman before the age of 12. However, if the item is still in his possession when he becomes an adult, he must return it.<ref> Shulchan Aruch CM 349:3, Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 89. <br>
+see note 264 there for a discussion if it is proper for one to go the extra mile and pay for what he stole as a minor:
+Mishna Brura 343:9 says that ideally one should based on the Taz 343:2 and the Chayei Adam 66:5. On the other haIMoshe CM 1:88 disagrees </ref>
+===Stealing from a Parent===
+# If one stole from a parent, he must repay them or ask them to explicitly absolve him of payment, and he may not assume that his parents automatically forgive him.<ref>Igrot Moshe CM 1:88, Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 88. </ref>
