He stole over $1000 dollars from us after we stupidly let him back in!

[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 699580, member: 20490"] He called tonight from the hospital. Says he was admitted for attempted suicide. I don't know if I believe it. I think he has figured out the system and this is his place to stay for as long as he can so he can escape consequences, i.e. the shelter. He said he called to apologize and "take responsibility for his actions", but he wasn't getting a warm reception from me. He actually asked if he could come pick up the new lands end coat he'd ordered (WITH STOLEN MONEY!) because it's "getting cold". Umm, no, and it was 90 degrees today. Then he asked if he could get his medications because he needed them. But isn't he calling from the hospital? I am sure they can work that out. Sorry but I don't want him here and I don't want to see him. When I let him know we were following up with theft charges his attitude really changed. He said, "that's not gonna happen." He thinks if he pays us back, he won't be charged. I explained it doesn't work that way. We needed that money and the bank requires us to press fraud charges. This is what happens when you commit a crime. He then said he didn't call to get yelled at (my voice was never raised). I said, "This is not yelling. This simply stating the facts. I am sad for you that you have chosen this and I wanted you to know that the consequences could be very serious and effect your life and future." He said he was "too vulnerable to deal with my verbal aggression" and decided to end the call. I asked him to not call again. I am more worried about him breaking in now, though I suppose that would only give him more charges to deal with. I don't have an alarm system but I think looking into some extra security measures like extra locks for our windows and sliding glass door. It is helpful that someone is generally home here. I think the detachment phase is going well. I was mildly perturbed after the call, but not overly upset. My husband told me I handled it amazingly! :) [/QUOTE]
