[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 622265, member: 1233"] I would be livid too. PLEASE don't put blame on Billy for not telling you. Billy KNEW how upset you would be over Cory taking the car, and he knew Cory was wrong. Maybe he was hoping that he wouldn't have to tell you because Cory would stop. Maybe he told Cory that if it happened again then he would tell you. Billy is torn between knowing Cory is wrong, having to live with Cory, knowing how mad you would be, knowing that getting this irate is NOT good for your health, and knowing this will cause more conflama between you and Tony. He also has to know that you are likely to blame him even though he isn't the one taking the car. NOT a fun place to be if you are Billy, Know what I mean?? Yes, Billy likely should have contacted you earlier, and also when Cory got home. Being angry at Billy won't help the situation and will make Billy less likely to tell you if Cory does this or anything like it in the future. Direct the anger to the person who deserves it, Cory. I don't get Tony, but I haven't understood him for a couple of years. Cory is TOTALLY out of line. in my opinion you SHOULD contact the cops, but maybe give him a few hours to talk to you. If Tony has one of those hunting cameras that you can put on a tree and it will record video if anything moves, then put it up near where the SUV is so that you have evidence that Cory is taking the car and/or loaning it out. That would be a big hel to proving what he is doing. I saw them in Walmart for around eight dollars last Christmas, so maybe you gave one to Tony at some time. *Or he would like one for Father's Day and you buy it early and use it for this?) Give yourself a while to think rationally about the outcome you want (besides Cory not taking your car with-o asking), and about how to get that outcome. Then take those steps. Be sure that you are acting rationally and not allowing your anger to get the best of you. I am NOT saying that you should not call the police and/or press charges. I am saying to think about the end result that you want and how to best achieve that result. Cory needs a swift kick in the pants. In many ways it seems like he is sliding back into the behavior he showed as a teen. What is he doing while he has your vehicle? Is there any use in asking him or in talking to him about this? Or will it end up in a fight just like when you tell him he needs to start parenting Mouse and setting boundaries for her? Is he going out to do something or just joyriding with your vehicle? Is he loaning it to friends? Could he be renting it to friends? Using it for illegal purposes that could have it seized? Willing to pay the impound and towing fees when he gets pulled over and arrested for driving with-o license and insurance? Either way, I am sorry that Cory is making such awful choices and is abusing you and your generosity and property. He NEEDS to grow up. He is an adult and it is time to stop being a jerk to his mother. [/QUOTE]
