The answer

Stolen property, no matter how little, even if it is a stick, must be returned, based on the : "None of you should take his brother's belongings, whether in jest or in earnest. And whoever takes his brother's stick, let him return it." The money should be returned to the same branch from which it was stolen, as there might be a right pertaining to the employees there. If that is difficult, it is permissible to return it to another branch.
