I am sure that you must have have proof that this camera was stolen and that you just would not be accusing someone of something that you know nothing about ? I am a lawer and am interested infinding out your response please respond as I am interested in finding out what proof you have.

How about buying their kid the same camera if he likes it so much, but return the found one to it's rightful owners? In fairness, I don't think English is his first language, but ethics don't change whatever your mother tongue.
