[QUOTE="Lil, post: 635414, member: 17309"] I assume both those posts were asking the same thing. No. He's not. I said 17 and 18, it was actually 17 and 18, before he left for "college" last year. "College" is a story of its own. There was a time when he was 17 he took a bag of building supplies ($60 worth) and returned $25 worth to the store (receipt was in the bag). Apparently the rest he just tossed. Of course we found out and he left home for a week or so. I think a couple things disappeared after that... I don't remember. Then we found out he'd pawned his dad's guitars...he was 18 then. His dad takes a guitar lesson every week...not like he wasn't getting caught! We went and got them back. That was right before he left for college. We considered not letting him go, but in the end we sent him. He came home for a visit last Sept. and we discovered he'd pawned some archery equipment before the guitars. We managed to get one bow back. The place said he hadn't pawned the other one, so I guess it went in the trash. His dad's bow - the one we got back was worth $400. He got $25 at the pawn shop. It was a medieval longbow. No one who isn't into reenactment wants a longbow. There was a compound hunting bow right next to it that would have been worth money at a pawn shop. He wasn't just a thief, he was a [I]STUPID[/I] thief. We lost DVD's, CD's, an old Playstation, a 6 CD changer, etc. Lots of little things. My mother's engagement ring is missing and some gold junk jewelry...he swears he didn't take them, but if he didn't, one of his friends did. Anyway, the [I]last[/I] thing he took was the guitars (even though we found out about other things later that he took before the guitars). We told him then, if he EVER did it again, we WOULD call the police and make a report and if the cops found out he took them he WOULD go to jail. That simple. He appears to believe it...and he better, because we will. I will NOT lock things up in my own home, even if I have to put my only child in jail. That is a line I will NOT allow to be crossed ever again. [/QUOTE]
