He'll probably get invited to visit Apple. He already has an invitation to 
visit Google according to the updated story at the original link.

Due to social media the kid caught everybody's attention all the way up to 
the president. Apologies have been issued and any pending charges have been 
dropped. He is going to get to meet with NASA scientists now.

The kid was arrested in a NASA t-shirt. How clueless are the adults in this 
town?
