Does he have 3 names so we can read about him when he becomes a serial killer?

Sounds like it's time to talk about the military.

Leave it to a gump to think something works universally.

First define what grounding consisted of.

There’s never going to be a good time to punish your kid when there won’t be some collateral damage.
But finding an excuse like this to not punish him (and he wouldn’t be leaving the house for awhile without my presence after what he’s done) is likely part of the reason he feels he can get away with what he’s doing. She’ll be fine. He needs to understand it’s not your fault he can’t go to homecoming. It’s his due to his behavior.
- Take away the cell phone and electronics. I guarantee he’s being egged in there by peers.
- Make him work to earn the money to pay off the repairs on brother’s car
- Make him do some community service. Soup kitchen, volunteering in the community.
If issues continue, I tend to agree with others that something like military school at this point may be necessary.

When I was about that age my dad put me in my place, and I’m not talking about a swat on the arse. He didn’t beat my arse, but he got pretty rough and let me know that he could easily have me eating through a straw. Straighten me right out.

I can appreciate this, but she can find another date.

I get that but also you would be doing her a favor. Tell her she doesn't deserve to have to go to the dance with a degenerate loser (say that in front of your kid.) Tell her to find a good guy to go with you offer to pay the bill for her trouble.

His behaviour is very confusing to me because he is up at 5:30 am every morning to work out before school at the gym, jogs there/home 6 days a week. Volunteers at the church every sunday (lingering punishment from the car theft) and has baseball every day after school sometimes until 7pm.
Too many parents these days over-state the role sports have on their child's development. It's often better for a child to be involved in sports, but too much and they lose sight of activities that have the potential to be more beneficial and longer lasting.
Does he have shitty friends or shitty choice in girls? Nothing will derail a teenage boy quicker than those two.

Also change your wifi password. My daughter got caught bringing home a friend’s phone when we took hers away. I changed the wifi password and put all her devices on the guest network once her punishment was over.

How often does this happen? I can tell you, my parents left me at home a lot when I was in HS. I was very immature and did very immature things too. Like, have parties, consume copious amounts of alcohol, etc. But a couple of jail stints later, I finally turned it around.
But you and your spouse need to compromise and be on the same page with the approach.

have a 15 year old son who just got off of a 6 week grounding for stealing our car, egging houses, ruining the paint job on his brother's car.
Two weeks after last day of grounding, he's busted for hosting a party in our absence and plowing through significant amounts of alcohol.
I'm curious what made you think it was a good idea to leave him home alone, considering the circumstances?

Ground him from homecoming and make him pay for all the costs for the girl.
He's a minor so it's your job to keep him honest for screwing up.

This is gospel.

If you let him go to homecoming you’re reinforcing/rewarding his bad behavior.
