18 year old step-son stole from me and lied to his father about it

Three days ago I left some quarters on our bathroom counter (not the norm for me). Yes, it was a spur of the moment test, as only I and my step-son, soon to be 19, were at home. Money has disappeared from time to time around here, most recently a twenty dollar bill out of my 11 year old son's wallet. I left the bathroom, said stepson used it, and when I went back in, oh, twenty minutes later, 4 or 5 quarters were gone. Not alot, but it is the principle. His father, my husband, asked him if he took it and he said no. So yesterday I confronted him, as is my parenting style.
