Whatever remains of the stolen goods should be returned as is. For what has been consumed or damaged, its value should be returned as of the day of the theft, not the day of return. As for what he has forgotten or become confused about, he should strive to estimate it until he is reasonably certain that what he will return covers the value of all that was stolen.
