I took some money from my father's cupboard without him realizing it and used the money to buy a mobile. My intention is to return the money to the cupboard as soon as I am able to. Is this considered theft and is that mobile allowed for me to use?

Yes, it is considered theft because you have taken money which does not belong to you with out permission of the owner. Using this money and any item bought by this money is unlawful. You must return the money immediately to the same place you have taken it from.
