She found booze, case closed.
Punishment is definitely appropriate. Take the keys, take the computer, whatever.

Selling the car is pushing it. I don't know how well-off that family was or what kind of habits they have, but selling the kid's car would imply that he won't be behind the wheel at all until college. That is harsh as hell. The whole advertisement and public humiliation are just totally inappropriate, even for some sort of repeat-offending delinquent.
