This is a very tough call. If you prosecute, you hurt the girl scout and
if the media gets a whiff of this, they will have a field day.
As an ex-cop and a prosecutor, my knee-jerk reaction is to report this as
a crime, but a part of me wants to offer them the chance to make
restitution. After staring at the screen just now for 5 minutes at what I
just typed, my recommendation is to approach them, let them know how
serious this is and ask when they plan on making restitution. If they are
not willing to even pay you back at a small amount every week, then you
have no choice but to report this to the police.
Good luck.
