Realistically, there's probably nothing you can do.  He's an adult and has chosen to become a thief.  If he doesn't see something wrong with that, nothing you can say will make him feel otherwise.

This is not someone you want to go shopping with. \n\nWhen they are caught the authorities may take you also since you are with your friend. And if someone is dishonest enough to steal they may get scared and slip it to you somehow (backpack, purse, pocket, etc.) without you realizing it. Think security is really going to believe that 'you've never seen it before and don't know how it got there'?\n\nTalk to your friend about not stealing again. A friend of mine was security at a high end department store chain. A 22 year old guy stole something and was caught. It was for kicks. He had a rich family that was prominent in a nearby town. He was used to being bailed out and having everything handed to him. His formidable grandmother contacted the store manager who refused to drop charges. She went up the ladder all the way to the owner. They all refused. Grandma's money and influence couldn't save him, and this time he was forced to take responsibility (possibly the first time he had ever had to.) \n\nA criminal record is nothing to fool around with. And when you have a rep as a shoplifter it can spread.\n\nStealing is not only dishonest, it is a selfish, irresponsible act. Do you think the companies take the losses from theft? They pass the hundreds of thousands of dollars of loss back to the consumer. You and I literally pay for your friend's actions. Don't rationalize and say 'its a big company, they can afford it.' They don't afford it. You and I pay for it.\n\nShoplifting is no joke.

There's a lot of reasons why they might have stolen from you.  If you really believe this is a good person at heart, the reason may be that s/he has low self-esteem or other issues that might cause her/him to be jealous of you.  If you think the person was simply motivated by greed, then s/he certainly isn't a "friend".  \n\nIf you really are concerned, the best way is probably to adderess it directly, based on FACTS about what was taken.  And be careful to express it as genuine concern for whether that person is having other problems that may have led to the theft, not as an accusation, because once the other person's defenses go up, it will be difficult to get through.  Good luck!

You need to talk to your son and confront him about what he did.  He has to know that stealing from anyone is not acceptable.  You need to talk with him and possibly even give him a punishment for what he did.  Be honest with him why stealing is wrong and how people can't trust other people who steal.
