What is the name of your state? Colorado

Consider the following scenario:

Bob (15 years old) has a wealthy grandmother who has been saving money away for him. Bob takes some of that money prematurely. Jim (18 years old), an acquaintance of Bob, is told by Bob that his grandmother wants him to have the money but cannot give it to him because Bob's parents disapprove until Bob turns 21. Bob gives $3000 of the taken money to Jim, who spends it.

Q1: What crime was committed by Bob?
Q2: What crime was committed by Jim?
Q3: If Jim, in an attack of conscious, decides to repay the money (to the grandmother) 7 years later, what charges can be brought up against Jim at that time (e.g. is there a statute of limitations for the crime in Q2?).

Send me the money and I will ponder those questions and come up with a morally correct solution.

Oh okay, here goes:

1. Theft

2. if jim doesnt know the money was stolen, jim has committed no crime. if jim knows money is baaaaad, jim is accessory to theft

3. doubt any charges will be brought against jim if the money is returned.
