 I mean, you could nick a snitch for a few hours without being 
caught, but I don't think you can nick an IC  for 7 years and get 
wayay with it. His parents would have noticed the  cloak was 
missing, sooner or later.

Actually, I like Matt's idea better.  Even if his Dad missed it, 
what legitmate reason could he have for using it?  Can't you see the 
conversation now?
"Son, have you seen my IC?"
"Gee, no Dad.  What do you need it for?  Maybe Mum has it..."
