Salat al tawbah (Pray for Forgiveness, 2 Rakats Nafl). Does this have to have a particular intention for a specific sin? Or does this prayer cover all sins that has been committed? Also, Can this only be done once during the day or can we pray it as many times as we wants e.g. 8rakats (similar to the format of Tahajjud).

My question is, I have previously stolen from my relatives years ago when I was a teenager; I have repented but have not returned the goods yet. How should I return it to them without them knowing since it will cause embarrassment, plus they live so far so I cannot visit them. Most definetly they will pardon me for stealing the products as it was not worth much.Give it in charity if so.
