Wow, Lil. That is a lot of stealing he is doing. It's screaming to me that he is doing a lot of drugs. However, one can never be sure. Do you see purchases of nice clothes and things that otherwise he would never have the money for? It goes without saying, regardless of what its for, I am going to throw a major red flag that, that is an awful lot of stealing, especially for his age. Every drug addict I know steals every type of thing you just mentioned from their family, including air lums , which is THEE worst. My uncle , who is 60 years old now, has been a severe heroin addict for 40 of his years and is the biggest thief in the world. For forty years he has stolen from EVERYBODY and continues until this day. He now has storage's full of things, ALL stolen. STORAGE'S! Yes, PLURAL! My grandparents detached from him over 30 years ago, but in the last 10 years, not only have they accepted him back into their lives, he also moved back in and has been there for the last ten years. Turning my grandparents once immaculate house, into a hoarders dream. From the top of the house, all the way down to the bottom, are packed with items my uncle has stolen, all worth lots of money. Here is a little twist, he is now becoming a hoarder himself and he can't part with the things he has stolen! So they keep piling up and piling up. And he tells my grandparents (and everybody else) that he finds the stuff in the trash or helps people move and they give it to him. Yeah, for instance, he had a brand new laptop and when you opened it, it said Jessica's computer. He said "I just found it in the trash, I can't believe it!". Um yeah. And i know my grandparents know he is lying, and so does everyone else in our family, but they just let him get away with it. I think because all of my grandparents friends died off (my grandparents have outlived ALL of their friends), they were feeling VERY alone and moved my uncle in, again , after decades of not really associating with him. Plus, he helped them around the house being as though they were getting very old. And he was free to do drugs in the house. The spoons were always gone. My grandmother constantly buying new spoons. Oh yeah, my point is, lol, the airlum he stole was something very special that my great grandfather gave to my grandfather and my grandfather treasured it. By the way, My family is not some white trash family either. My grandparents are the epitome of middle class, hard working, millions of friends and family , type of people.
My uncle has been in and out of prison, some very long stints of time in the slammer, and he never changed. He even had the FBI with helicopters chasing him at one point and numerous other very serious things. Don't ask me how, even though he has been caught and tried for many things, he also got away and continues to get away with lots of bad things. The lies that come out of his mouth are amazing. He does not care who it hurts. He is the ultimate liar. Very chilling if you ever see it in action. He is so believable, it's unreal. Oh and by the way, not too long ago, there was a recent chain of home robbery's in my grandparents neighborhood.....hmmm, I wonder who that was? You would think the cops would put two and two together, but they never even bothered to check the neighborhood to see who has a record. All the cops that use to know him, have retired a long time ago. There is loads and loads more that I can tell you, but this is all for now.
If I am out of line by telling you this story, please forgive me. I just had to tell you, and, for others who might come across this board one day.
