[QUOTE="Star*, post: 480389, member: 4964"] You know what? This is just MY opinion and it may not be all political - but you say you work with this woman right? Well....If you and I worked together.......and she were me? Five dollars is FIVE dollars I mean that's like nearly an hour of my wage/work. (I get nearly minimum wage) So while everyone is saying "It's only ONLY five dollars' - If it's ONLY five dollars then why doesn't the woman hand you the money back and apologize for her son? I would be mortified! - My son has been a lot of things - thief included. And HAD he ever taken and when he DID take things from someone - WE made him march up to them, and make him pay them back. IT embarrassed the snot out of him, but the more you do that - the less likely they are to steal - and if this jerk is getting off so "easy" wow - she's NOT doing him any favors - and you aren't either by NOT telling her she's NOT doing herself any favors in allowing his behavior to continue - Whether it's five dollars or TEN or 100 - The fact of the matter is - IT WAS NOT HIS MONEY - IT WASN"T HIS to touch, to spend and when he found out it wasn't his???????? SOMEONE in that family needed to replace it. NOT get in your face, deny it, or blow you off. I don't care if it was a dollar. Sorry that's just how I feel about taking junk that's not YOURS. Even my DOG knows that basic principal - NOT YOURS..... THe rest of what Hound said about keeping my stuff on my person - yeah - I'd be so like fort knox.......... [/QUOTE]
