I never thought this would happen and it sounds ridiculous but my 13 year old brother who has some serious issues about getting what he wants tried stealing one of my cans of coke (I would have given it to him if he asked but I didn't want him to think stealing was okay so i stopped him.)
He got pissed off at me when I grabbed it out of his hands and walked away.. and he just kept kicking the door to my locked room and it is hard to control/pick up a 13 year old boy who is in a fit of rage, He actually got to smash the door and get in, took my wallet with $1500 in it and ran off.
I had worked for a long time to save up that money selling refreshments at local parks/skateparks etc (Nobody around here wants to hire anybody over 18 for unskilled jobs because of the high minimum wage.)
Hours later of me looking for him I find him walking the streets of a bad part of town, crying and I find out he was mugged.. and had a bunch of junk food, $245 and an ipod touch left over which he had in his bag.
...I don't know what to do now? I'm getting him to apply for a job when he is old enough to help repay me which will be hard to do. you could threaten to take away all his possessions if he didn't take out the trash and he wouldn't do it.
All I can do now is use that $245 left over and invest in more things to sell. I wonder if many people snitch on people without licences?
It is better then this every night..
