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

[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 699645, member: 1233"] I think you are handling this amazingly well. Esp in your phone conversation. He sounds very immature and entitled. Video games are not bad, per say, but they CAN be an addiction. I am glad that you are getting the money back as that is a LOT, esp when expecting a new baby! You may want to call the bank and ask them or the police what to do with the items he bought. It likely will be taken as evidence, and the bank may get it back as part of restitution. I am not sure, but before you do ANYTHING with the items, call and find out what your obligation is. It could impact the prosecution AND at a later date the bank might get upset if you didn't let them know. Technically it is probably stolen property. For a cheap security upgrade for windows, if they open up and down, get a dowel rod and cut it to fit into the area above the window where it would have to be raised to open. Or if the frames are wood, just put a big nail into the frame so the window cannot open. We once got a big insurance break when the landlord put in windows that had little pins so the window could open about 2 inches but no more unless you pulled the pin out. I liked having them on the upstairs windows so the kids and the idiot cat couldn't lean on the screen which could have them falling out! If you have a sliding glass door, put a dowel into the track on the bottom so it cannot open. Then go outside and try to take off the outer door. If they are not installed properly they can often just be lifted off and no lock will help. We had a different landlord put one in wrong and it took my uncle having a fit to get it installed properly. My uncle has cop friends who said this is an incredibly common mistake that can be a big security risk. [/QUOTE]
