A man stole something from a public facility in a kaafir country, then it was stolen from him. Does he have to repay its value?

Praise be to Allaah. 

We
put this question to Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve
him), who answered as follows:

He
is not liable for anything; it is sufficient for him to repent. And Allaah
knows best.
