Out of interest(and I am not being picky here)...what action would you take?

How would you punish your child...make him/her pay back the money?
Ground the child?
Beat seven shades of sand out of the little blighter(for which they could have you charged with assault).

How would you make sure the lesson stayed with them?
I am interested.
