I do not think that saying the replacements will come out of team funds will work because if a person is stealing from the team in the first place, i dont think they really care what effect there is on the team. that being said, i do not have a better solution.

I like talking to the parents directly, but that is a problem when it is one of the teachers/mentors.

sorry that this is happening to your team and i hope that it all works out in the future
