[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 726781, member: 1550"] The car made my radar go off too I thought the same thing. These drug addicts have more stolen ( cough) items than anyone else. But I never believe they are stolen. These addicts would sell their grandmothers for drug money. All the better if the old lady believes the story and buys a new car or hands out guilt cash. My daughter who used told me "Never believe a drug addict. They lie. All.the.time." They will sell their coat that we lovingly made sure was so warm, expensive shoes and boots, computers, cell phones, gift card and ,yes, a car, especially if they think we will believe it was stolen. Lots of our adult kids here tend to be thievery victims a lot. If it was "stolen" your son should be eager to file a police report. Did he? I hope your husband doesn't do anything to replace the car that he probably sold for drugs and sympathy. Make him file a police report before feeling sorry for him. Since drug addicts lie he may still have the car and want another one so he can sell one and still have one. I would not trust his word without proof. His word means nothing. Honestly, I have been on this board over a decade and not one adult of a guilty, worried prent has ever frozen to death. Nor has anyone committed suicide on the street, at least in this community. The homeless population is vibrant and supportive and there are bonfires and people tell others where to go for meals and shelter. Your son had shelter but very obviously YOU care more about his shelter than he does. He will not follow simple rules for a roof. Many parents here wonder "Doesn't he know what he is doing to us?" Yes, he knows, they all know. The addict is like a psychoath. No conscience. They know and don't give a rats. We are just more suckers who will help them use drugs. My daughter would look me straight in the eyes crying and lie to me. And finally no drug addict should have a functional car. For one thing, where do they get money to keep it running. Secondly they are driving obviously intoxicated and have a much higher chance of killing someone else or dying in a car wreck than freezing to death. My daughter had three car wrecks. In one, a lady was injured and she owed close to $15,000. We made her pay herself until she was several years clean and sober. Then her father paid it off. Cars and drugs/alcohol are a danger to every driver on the road plus our kids. Yes, we feel sorry for them. That doesn't entitle us to put others at risk, when our kids are using. At least I don't think so. My daughter crashed our vehicle once and lost the right to our cars. She was driving "friends" cars for her other crashes, but at least we were not responsible. I wish you a peaceful day! Love and hugs! [/QUOTE]
