When I was about 12 years old I stole about R30 of items from Pick & Pay?

Question

When I was about 12 years old I stole about R30 of items from Pick & Pay? How should I make amends to release me from this obligation?

Answer

Buy a postal order of R30. Make it payable to Pick & Pay, then post it to them with a covering letter explaining that while you were still a minor you had stolen items worth R30. You being a Muslim are compelled by Islam to repay the owner for the stolen items, hence you are sending the R30. Don't provide your name and address.
