Is there any chance that your police dept or jail has a beyond scared straight program? I would contact them and ask them about that. Other than that, you can charge him if you so wish. You can also make him work off the money or items he steals with hard labor at double the price he stole. Say he stole the $20...make him work off $40 in chores at $5 per hour in either digging holes or hauling bricks back and forth across the yard. Make it something that is uncomfortable for him and something he wont like to do and he will remember. We used carrying firewood. Cory and Jamie moved firewood from one location to the other back and forth.
