It's a weird one because you don't want to push him further into lying/doing more sketchy shite behind your back. I know that the revocation of driving privileges, taking away of phone/computers/ipad, can't participate in sports has worked.
Edit: My old man always sentenced me to hard arse outdoor working labor around our camp or house and I can tell you that it worked.

Pulling him playing sports would be next on the queue if he were mine. There would be nothing fun in his life until he learned to act decent and behave.

Is he a fun-loving kid that is respectful, but just likes to have a good time?
Is he an angry child that is mean or disrespectful?
These are two different things.
I would rather have a fun, happy child that got into trouble occasionally, than an angry, disrespectful child that begrudgingly followed the rules.
Attitude and behavior are important, beyond just the listed acts of rule breaking.
What kind of kid in general is he? Do other parents like him? Does he have a lot of friends? Are his friends "good" or are they trouble-makers?

The only thing that should change is the level of pain inflicted, not the method used. Lots of piss poor parents in this thread.

Removal of all electronics (including the hidden burner you do not know about).

I had countless friends be sent off to Military School back in the day, and I can confidently tell you that it did not help. A lot of them got worse.

I'm curious what made you think it was a good idea to leave him home alone, considering the circumstances?
An entirely fair point. It was our 25th wedding anniversary, a two night stint planned months ago. Arranged for our adult (ish) son to be home (who spent more time fishing than supervising) and had a spouse unwilling to cancel. I have some responsibility in this, but also don't have complete control over the reigns.
I wouldn't do it again.

Agreed. The main issue here is his lack of planning, strategy and execution. He may just not be very smart.

Why did you and your spouse not have an adult with your kids when you aren't there?
Have you been a teenager before?

Our former POTUS is a very real example of this.

He is a very, very well liked kid. He's also overall very happy, albeit sometimes stressed about grades. With the exception of two friends that were removed from his circle after the car-theft situation (one went to in-patient rehab and the other left to go to another school) His friends would be considered the popular boys, with girlfriends, nice homes, intact families, highly functioning kids. These are not the seemingly 'troubled' kids you would see in an afterschool special. He generally rolls over when he gets punished, but then he fricking does it again.

Weird, mine went from drug dealing in hs to graduating college and having a family.

Alright guys you are right. Everyone that goes to military academy comes out worse than before.
How foolish of me.

Then I think you are over-reacting.
He certainly needs to have some consequences, and you don't want him to do anything dangerous, but this sounds like normal high school shenanigans to me.
Me, and all of my friend group, did all of those things and more and everyone turned out fine.
