when I was younger I had a case of the sticky fingers. My mom had me pack my clothes and toys, say good bye to my brothers because I would never see them again and had a police officer come to the house with handcuffs saying you better change or youre going with him. It left a mark for sure.

My girlfriend's son is developing the same thing and my solution to it, which has worked to date, was I told him I was going to show him what it felt like to have stuff stolen. I told him anything in his room would become mine if he stole again. If he steals again I'm going in his room, taking his tv, his xbox, and whatever toys are present and hiding them in my room.

I wouldn't sell anything though because the reward should be getting what was taken away back. He should be given a chance to prove he's learned a lesson.
