Good all-around viewpoints.
While taking $500 out of a paycheck may be kind of hefty, I assume he knew and agreed to this.
"He has sworn to what is bad [for himself], and yet he does not alter." Psalm 15:4. This principle is important in my book.
Showing mercy and tough love as Tony did can reap great rewards within the family. Parents are obligated to instill good values by example and discipline in their children.
I can easily see drawing the line there. Your business is a different thing. It's one thing to be kind and compassionate, but another to allow stealing even of $20 worth of gas. "The person faithful in what is least is faithful also in much." Luke 16:10.
I'd have a hard time letting that go. Admittedly, I put up with a lot of attitude and whining and lethargy at times out of fear of not having enough help, but outright stealing? Different animal to me.
