[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 184933, member: 2459"] Hard as it probably was for both you and the neighbor, that conversation was a good thing. On your part, you now know the extent of the theft. On her part, she knows (even though she probably did anyway) that you are aware and aren't just blowing it off. FWIW, even if you can get the undies back....if it were me, I don't think I would want them. There is the concept of the $$$ yes, but even if I washed them myself, I still think it would be a bit oogy to wear them again after all of this. As for the conversation you had with difficult child.......again, just MHO but I've had similiar types of conversations with my difficult child with bascially the same end result. (i.e. "Is that all?" and then goes on with whatever he was doing) Granted, I don't know yours but with my difficult child, it never registers. He agrees, understands, contributes, etc. but it just doesn't stick. Or it is one of those "but we talked and that was the end of it" thought processes. No concept at all of the actual meaning of the conversation or the consequences. I do agree with you telling the neighbor to call the police if it happens again. Kid or not, there are some issues going on and it's going to take something big to get through to him. Sending hugs. been there done that. (erm....minus the panties) [/QUOTE]
