[QUOTE="Lil, post: 679922, member: 17309"] I'm Jabber's wife. As he said, we never called the police, though we could have. We did go to a pawn shop and reclaim some property once, which caused him to be blocked from any pawnshop in the area...but we did not have him arrested. When he came back from college (trust me when I say you are doing much better there than us - ours just stayed in the dorm and got stoned and never attended a class at all) we warned him that any more stealing would be the end and the police would be called...but he took cash and in the end, I couldn't do it. Instead, we put him out. So...my personal take on it is this. What's been done is done. IF you let him come home, THEN you tell him, "This is it. No more warnings. Next time we call the cops. Period." And then [U]do it[/U] if it happens again. (Do as I say, not as I did.) I personally wouldn't do it for anything in the past at this point. But that's me. As for job...well...that is the natural consequence of getting arrested. But that is something to definitely consider...might put that in the warning to him. [/QUOTE]
