It doesn't matter if the only thing that was taken was eventually returned. That really has no bearing on the sentence imposed. The fact that it was not an armed robbery will help shorten the sentence but if it was a bunch of young hoodlums the judge might give them a stiffer penalty to teach them a lesson.

If they used ANY force at all it could still be considered robbery. Simply saying "give me the lap top or I will kick your azz" is good enough for using force. If they took it without the victim knowing it is a larceny. Either way I would be a little concerned about doing time.

Everybody in the "group" gets charged with robbery. Since the property was recovered and no one was injured AND this is a first offence; your buddy might get off with probation.

It would depend upon the age of the person (juvenile sentencing is different from adult sentencing usually), and the jurisdiction where the crime is being tried (state, county or city).
