Answer 1

The most logical conclusion to this story is:

Caleb confronts Alicia, who admits her guilt and returns the money.

This conclusion follows a narrative arc where a character witnesses wrongdoing and is likely to confront the individual involved, especially after observing the same behavior a second time.
