I just need to vent. So we went out of town last week and had my sister come watch our animals while we were gone. We had put up everything of value because she was going to have her friend and son (my 27 year old nephew) come one day. Well we got back Saturday and everything seemed to be in place.

Two nights ago my son (7 years old) went to look for his Spider-Man wallet. My wife had put it in a basket in our kitchen. When he opened it up his money was gone. It was only 22.00 or so but he has been saving and sparingly spending his money for a while. He was understandably upset. I am mad but not angry if that makes sense. I called my sister and told her; she has had problems too and has not been able to figure out who the thief is.

I have cameras around my house but not in the area where the wallet was. I bluffed and said I had a camera there and would be reviewing the video after dinner if no one fesses up and if I have to do that I would press charges. Well my nephew cracked and fessed up to stealing the money. He has several charges pending now and I figured he was the POS. I did get video stealing from his mom while here too.
 
People are annoying. Good on you. I too was victim of theft, jerk stole my fujifilm x series camera and lenses - some were vintage legacy, my apple tv, electric shaver. Cops never called me, so it's all lost. I was devastated, some crackhead I assume, broke in through the bedroom window and took what he/she could carry in my camera bag it seems. Not where I'm living now, but where I lived when I first moved down here, maybe about 6 months after I relocated. I. Was. Pissed.
I hope your son isn't too upset; and the thief gets what he deserves.

That sux. Just out of curosity is your son close with him at all? Reason I ask is if he is you could have your son ask the guilty party why he stole his money that he had been saving and worked for, it might put a good guilt trip on him that he took it from a innocent party and it coming from a kid would make it tougher. That is only if guilty party has any morals left.
 
I got video of my brother breaking in and stealing change from my stepsons piggy bank. Didn’t talk to him for a while after confronting him with video proof but he seems on the right path now. Also when I was living in Sanford the crack dealing neighbor broke into my house and stole a pistol and a puppy that I had for a week. Luckily some good people found the dog and my mom found her on Facebook and I got my pup back. Cops knew who did it and that he sold crack out of his house but wouldn’t do anything about it or the other issues that I had with him when I lived there.
 
None of the family on my side would rip us off. But there are a few of my in-laws I would not trust to watch our house. Neither would be wife. They are the ones who only call when they need something. They have the misguided notion that we are rich. :D;)

This is a good idea. While he’s talking to the kid you can put some steel toed boots on. When he’s done talking to the kid, kick his nose in.
Then stomp his hands into chicklets.

That will leave an impression on him.
 
That sucks. If somebody is willing to steal $22 from a 7 yo there's obviously much bigger problems than that going on with him. As stated above, cut ties.
 
If you knew the nephew was a thief (several charges pending) why in hell would you allow him into your house?? That's just asking for something to happen, and you weren't disappointed.....

That's pretty much what happened in my case. Haven't spoken to most of them since 2002.
 
Probably strung out on something, I feel sorry for people that are that weak minded. My aunt caught my cousin (her son mid 20s) stealing multiple times and after she caught him crawling into her room in the middle of the night to rummage her purse kicked him out of the house. After she kicked him out he drove up the road to a pull off spot, smoked a pack of cigarettes and hung himself. Neighbor kids seen him and walked to the house and told her so she went up there and seen him. I do not know what the answer is but I hope your nephew can get some help and stop hurting people. Oh and screw a thief!!!
 
My son is not close to him. He is close to his brother though which is a 180 different person. I have intentionally not allowed him to be around him. We are not telling him who because he has a son close to his age and it could cause other issues.

I did not actually know he was going to be at the house until after we were gone. The wallet was the only thing we forgot to put as well. My sister never thought he would take anything and suspected someone else was taking from her. She is really taking it hard

At this point he is no longer family. I have made it clear he is not to come around anywhere we will be.
 
It sounds like someone needs a nut punch or three to get the point across that stealing is no bueno, and stealing from a child is worth an extra shot or two imo.

If someone is stealing actual food and not luxury items I can forgive that, but come on, stealing from what clearly belongs to a kid is downright shameful.

Was he a CI/snitch? They get a pass from LE around here.
