FSIL IS A THEIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VENT - LONG ****UPDATED****

Original post by kptoys

Yesterday FH gave me $100 because FSIL and FBIL were visiting us from upstate and I was going to take them out to lunch. We wound up going out with FH to lunch so I didnt have to spend the $100.

After lunch I went to have a tire repaired ($15). I was going to pay with the piddly $ I had but I only had $14 and the $100 bill so I broke the $100 since I didnt have enough small bills. That left me with $99. (4 $20's, 2 $5's, 9 1's)

I came home (4:30PM)and gave FSIL $7 to get ice cream for FH, I left my wallet in my purse on my couch, they left and I went to take a nap. I hear them come back around 5PM. 5:30 FH comes home and I get up. In my wallet I should have $92. (4 $20's, 1 $5, 7 $1's)

We go visit FH's Aunt and her kids (one just had a baby boy which is ADORABLE and one is prego with twins) at 6:30PM we take separate cars. 9PM we get gas. I reach into my wallet and just grab a $20 without even thinking to see what else is in there. In my wallet I should have $72 (3 $20's, 1 $5, and 7 $1's)

We get home and FH wants to order South Park Season 2 DVD set. We go to Comedy Central and order them. I leave my wallet on the living room table... we go to bed... FSIL and FBIL go to bed 10 minutes after us...

I get up this morning. 9:30 I was going to get bagels. I check my wallet to make sure I have all my $$$(I always check my wallet to see how much cash I have when I know I am going to pay cash because it would be HORRIBLE if I get up there with a whole bunch of things and I dont have enough $$... its just a habit of mine).

I open my wallet and there is $12!!!!!!!!! I count the $ 3x!!! still no change... $12!!! SHOCKED I say HOLY SH*T Im missing like $50!!! FBIL who was sitting there asked if FH took it before he left this morning. I call FH and he says 'Did you ask FSIL? She has been known to take things in the past!' I say no she is sleeping.

I find extra $$ around the house (not my $60) and get bagels. I come back and FSIL is in the kitchen. I say 'Ive been thinking about all the places Ive been and I have NO IDEA where my $60 is. I dont know what could have happened to it!' As soon as FSIL realizes I am talking about my missing $$ she gets this look of OMG she knows, looks away IMMEDIATELY and starts pretending like she is getting crumbs into a pile on the counter!!!!! GUILTY B*TCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell FH what happened. He calls his mother who gave FH FSIL's cell #... he has yet to reach them because they are out of range.

IM FURIOUS!!! I have wracked my brain and there is NO WAY the $$ could have left my wallet by my doing. She isnt going to admit to it. I dont know what to do!!!!!

Thanks for listening.

that really Sucks! I am glad that you got your money back but take all precautions now! Make sure your money bag stays with you at the wedding. I have heard horror stories about things getting stolen from the Bridal Suite and I would hate for you to start telling a story like that too!

I am glad you got your money back but what an awful way to have to deal with family.

wow! how horrible! Im wondering why you weren't told about her behavior before especailly since it seems she is KNOWN for doing this?
This girl needs for people to confront her and get her help otherwise it will just continue.

I agree with the others- check your valuables including your checkbook(s).

Hard way to learn a lesson about her- make sure that you have a trusted member of YOUR family watch your money bag. Do you have a grandmother or older aunt that can do this? they usually are flattered with the responsibliity and take it VERY seriously

phyl - FSIL has been commited to the looney bin for 2 weeks about 5 years ago, she has lost jobs because she stole, she has stolen from her parents, written checks from her parents checkbooks... it isnt new behavior... I just wasnt thinking that she was going to steal from me being she is 27 years old and married...

I am hoping to trust my grandmother with the money bag at the wedding... hopefully she wont drink too many martinis

glad you found it, but this thread made me think - do your FSIL or FBIL drink or do drugs? I am only asking bc this sounds like something my FBIL has done, it is typical behavior (he obviously has issues). But I wonder why they left it? Just curious....anyway, sorry to hear u had to go through that!

edited to say: ooops i just read your previosu post, that explains a lot !
