Im getting a stolen laptop from a kid at my school. I can either keep it at the risk of being caught due to a tracing device, or return it to the school. I want to keep it, But I dont want to be arrested. If I return it and dont tell them who originally had it will they suspect that I took it and just felt guilty?

Okay, say someone steals your 2000 dollar laptop, and because they dont like you, they dont give it back, how would that make you feel?
Give it back, its the right thing to do.

DO NOT GIVE IT BACK! I know I wouldn't, I have had so much shit from people, one day I had 5 dollars in my wallet. I dropped it and relised it a few minutes later I found it and the 5 dollars was gone. It was just money so I could buy so fucking lunch for the next 2 days at school. If I had found a walled with 5 dollars in it I would return it and not take the money but no they fucking took it and I had to go 2 days with no goddamn lunch. Another time my brother set his phone down when we were out at a fast food join and we set out food down than we went to wash our hands and came back and it was gone. People don't give a shit so I dont care anymore take stuff you want. You see a iPod someone left in there unlocked locker in gym class take it. They probably stole it from someone else anyway.

Return it to the school.
On a related note, I lost my wallet nearly a year ago with around $70 or so. It hasn't been returned, even with photo ID in one of the slots. People are dishonest (including myself, which I'm not proud of). Don't become a statistic.

If you keep it, you're as bad as the sorry fuck who stole it in the first place. Do the right thing and give it back- if you have doubts about doing so, think about what could happen to you if you don't and then get caught with it. That's not a few bucks out of somebody's wallet, that's an expensive piece of equipment- and you don't want to wind up in court explaining to a judge that you held on to property you knew was stolen because you just didn't feel like returning it. For your own sake and for the sake of salvaging some little bit of human decency, be the better man and do what's right.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

even if u dont get anything by doing nice things just give it back tell the guy somone gave it to u and pay him like $50 (and even so its much nicer doing somthing and not getting anything) wanting to get somthing for doing somthing nice is rather being spoiled (no offence).

I would return it anonymously. Make sure you wipe all of your fingerprints off, because as someone pointed out, they could blame you for stealing it, and while it's sad that someone would get owned for trying to do the right thing, it can and does happen.
As for keeping it, if you found it in a field or something I'd say yeah, but since you *know* that it's stolen, that's not cool and it would be on your conscious...plus your parents will surely ask where you got it, so you will have to lie to them and those sorts of lies usually just get you into more trouble later, so best to just get rid of the damn thing, and avoid all the crap.
P.S. If you succeed in anonymously ditching it, also be sure to not tell anyone, because just knowing that someone gave you something stolen makes you an accessory. With this in mind, its probably best that you don't accept it at all 
If you really want a laptop, just ask for one for your bday or something, say that you need it for school.

Just sneak it into the lost and found after you wipe the fingerprints off it.
