I goto grab my new digicam to take new band pics, and do another quick comic, and it's freaking missing. So I'm thinking...maybe my 3 year old took it to play with it... Then I notice the box and all the cables and paperwork is missing. I hate living with a drug addicted brother, and a klepto stepfather....
Damn. If I had a drug addict brother who did anything like that to me, he'd be wearing his teeth on the back of his head by now.
I had a drug addicited brother who got pulled over in Nevada and gave my name. They sent a warrant for my arrest to my mom's house. Dick.
I had my brother staying with me in Nashville for a while, this is after my wife Moved back to Louisville 6 months before I did (long story) so I would go up to see the kids every weekend. I started finding all kinds of really fucking sick raunchy porn on my computer (not the normal porn like I look at ) and started noticing CD's missing, so I put the Computer and all my stuff into one of the back rooms of the apartment and bought a pad-lock kit for the door. Problem Solved.
I have one suggestion, you probably won't like it. But it's the only thing I can suggest.... he stole your property, call the cops.
I put word out to both of them that I don't care how it ended up missing, but if it isn't back in 24 hours, I'm involving the police.
I know how you feel man, late last year, my brother ran off with several hundred-dollars worth of my games and DVDs. It sucks on a number of levels because they ran off with your wares and it speaks ill of the magnitude of which they actually care about you as family.
I think that a big mistake that a lot of people make is to give their family members special trust just because they are family. I love and trust my father and mother because they have earned it, not because they are my father and mother. As for the rest of my family, for the most part I hope that they think that I am dead so that they never look me up again. A bunch of losers with few exceptions. Trust must be earned, not gifted.
As someone who was really close to a drug user I can understand your position a bit. At least She did not steal anything from me. And at lest I know that she is going to be in a "good" place for the next few years. But my advice is the same as others have posted, lock up your stuff and or move out.
dont get even, get over and above. and teeth in the back of the head doesnt sound like a bad idea either(dravens idea)
Thing is...it's a toss up between my klepto step-dad, or my brother. So far they're blaming eachother, and making scenes. Fun Fun. I filed a police report today, and I'm hoping when I get back from my trip this weekend it mysteriously shows up... but I doubt it...
