Theft is forbidden, and the thief must repent and restore the rights. If the fine paid by the young man was compensation to the owners of the stolen clothes, then there is no harm in him wearing them. However, if it was not compensation, he must return the clothes to them, even by discreet means if he fears his matter being exposed.
