Question: As salam Alaykum,
I have stolen something from a franchise but I do not know the value of it.
What should I do to repent from my sin?
Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Consider finding the market value of the item online, for instance, and then add a reasonably safe amount, and return that to the company with an apology.
With that, you need to repent for your mistake. [see:A Reader on Tawba (Repentance)]

And Allah alone gives success.
