A neighboring house burnt down

Q: I indulged into committing sins in the past but Allah (Exalted be He) guided me and I performed Tawbah (repentance to Allah). Today, I am holding fast to the Straight Path of Allah. There is just one thing which I did in the past when I was a sinner that is still annoying me. Back when I was a student in the village elementary school, one night I went to the school, broke the locks and stole a watch, a chair and some books. Allah (Exalted be He) concealed me and no one knew of my evil deed. These items are still with me and I wish to get rid of them and their sin. The school moved to another place and I cannot put the things back in their place or go and confess what I did after Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) has concealed me and guided me. Now, I am bearing a heavy load, that no one but Allah knows, fearing I die while these things are still in my possession. Is my Tawbah acceptable? Please give me your Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) in this regard. (Part No. 15; Page No. 360) May Allah reward you with the best. What should I do and what is to be done with these things? How can I perform Tawbah from the sin of stealing? As-salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)

A: If the matter is as you mentioned, and it is difficult for you to return these items to the place you took them from, you can give them in charity. We hope Allah (Exalted be He) forgives you and accepts your Tawbah. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
