This is kinda how I feel about it. I mean, you can replace the game systems and games or whatever, but I’m not buying this only one dad shit. Father or not, he’s not his dad’s personal fucking ATM.
At the very least, some harsh words need to be exchanged.
Like, imagine how this situation would go down in other countries.
How would this be resolved in say, Saudi Arabia? His pops would be in some serious trouble, on some 20 lashes and you get your hand cut off type shit. The judge would be all: “Twenty kicks in balls from Uncle, because it was his house. Twenty kicks in balls from son, because it was his 360. 20 kicks in the balls from Bill Gates, because it was a Microsoft product. And twenty kicks in balls from Grandma, just because.”
What if it happened in deep Africa? They kill dudes for stealing goats over there?let’s not even talk about what happens for jacking game systems. He’d likely get beat with sticks, by the entire village, and get a curse put on him by the local shaman. “May your thieving dick crumble into dust.”
Actually in most countries its more family orientated…When someone in family needs help they help each other out no matter how fucked up they are…Its a like a family nucleus where they all stay in one place…
This isn’t some stranger or distant relative, its his father…In most countries the father is the most respected figure, what he says goes & really their children really have no say…They can beat their child in the middle of the street & people would probably cheer his ass on…
Weak argument. The respected figure isn’t respected because he’s stealing shit like a crackhead and then making off to the pawn shop all dastardly-like. The father can beat his children in the street, when the children have fucked up. It’s not like the father gets to steal whatever he wants from his grown ass kids and they can’t say shit about it because he’s the “head of the family”.
Nah fuck that man. Actions need to have consequences. He can’t go around swiping shit with no repercussions. Hey, you just robbed a bank! Have some love and compassion! Later for that. Dude deserves to get read the riot act and sued in court. If he’s running up in his son’s room how soon will it be before he’s running up in a stranger’s crib where he risks getting a cap put in his ass? Love and compassion can come in the form of forcing him to stop doing dumb shit.
If he’s stealing from his child, i dont see how he can sue his ass for anything…Remember this is only $700 or so dollars, that’s what 3 to 4 days work? If you put him to jail, how is this exactly going to help him? If you beat his ass, how exactly will this help him? Love & compassion goes a long ways…They need to talk & see what he can do to help him not attack him.
why did he steal the bike. why does he snatch the remote to change the channels. why is he stealing again years later?
this “dad” is a fucking loser (no offense)
how can you repair a relationship like this… why would you want a relationship with a scumbag like this. quality people dont HAVE to be your family. the quintessential dad figure is never going to happen even if he gets the xbox and stuff back and the dad says hes sorry. thats just sentimental and idealistic bullshit that makes a person hate their life cause it feels incomplete when it doesnt happen like the guy nexts doors life. you dont need a 2.5 kids and a dog named sparky family life to have a good life.
youll only feel bad when you dont solve this problem yourself, be a man and do something about it. if its a car stolen goto the police. xbox and an old tv and games isnt going to be taken seriously. so solve your own family problems. if youre tough get in his face and rough him up. let him know youre serious. and if he tries it again, hurt him…fucking simple. people dont fuck with crazy people. im not trolling im just giving advice how to not be trolled in real life.
cause apparently youre family is full of push overs your grandma and dads brother let him walk in and out with your shit. your dads the odd one out of the group who realizes he can be a wolf in a hen house. are you going to join your extended family and sit on your hands or match and beat your dads bullshit?
just do this
goto where he live and have a conversation, just say you forgive the loss. but if he ever tries this shit again, you’ll take the law into your own hands with him. and bring up the bike scenario and tell him how hurt you were over it and that this last theft almost made you want to kill him and get the point across that you hate his guts and want to kill him but you’re giving him a last chance, he can steal shit just not from you and yours anymore. EVER. and call him by his first name dont call him dad anymore.
If hes smart and you have it in you he wont fuck with you.
Dude stfu with its only 700 dollars. That everyone makes as much as your wife and to some even if was 30, no one has the right to take anything away, no matter what relationship you have.
You’ve already told Six to man up in so many words not once but twice or more. We get it. At this point no matter what he says you won’t believe most of it. STFU already. You sound like an annoying bitch right now.
I had already left. I already had plans and they were already in motion. Even if they called me, I wasn’t going to waste the money I’d spent to get out there, spend some more money to come back and not get a chance to do what I wanted to do for the summer. Especially since there wouldn’t have been any guarantees. Either way, it’s not relevant now. I didn’t come back until yesterday and didn’t find out until yesterday.
Actually, it’s closer to $2,000. And that’s not including the DLC or the time that went into the game saves that were on those hard drives. It’s only material items, that’s true. I can go to the store and get some new shit right now. But the money spent to replace that stuff was suppose to be going towards flight training, not replacing some shit I already had.
It’s not the money it’s the principle. If my dad went in my room did something stupid and damaged £500 worth of items I would be vex but I wouldn’t exactly be disgusted with him. If he stole £100 worth of items and sold it to buy something stupid I wouldn’t speak to him. I suppose I wouldn’t get the police involved.
Rcaido probably isn’t trolling, but I say people who are more fortunate than others have a different mindset. Rcaido just got 10 new TVs for his birthday so he’s in a different frame of mind right now…700 dollars worth of anything being stolen by family or not isn’t something I’d be cool with, and I’d say I make a pretty decent amount working everyday. With that said however, the thing is, if you feel you have to work hard to obtain said personal belongings, you’re less likely to want to say “Let’s let it slide because it’s my father.”
Even if it was $70 if it was me I’d do everything the law and morals allow me to do to make sure I get my money or preferably the actual stolen items. I let a lot of shit slide that many other people wouldn’t because it’s how I believe a mature adult should behave however, fairness and equality have the final say IMO.
Yes, commit battery THEN call the cops. Give them reason to take you too, brilliant!!
My suggestion is to file a police report, then follow their instructions on getting your stuff back from the pawn shop. That’s the cleanest way, your father can be duly punished if he’s found, and you get your stuff back.
I’d find him and talk to him, have him replace all the shit. If he can’t do it, send the fucker to jail. Family doesn’t do that to each other.
All that “deal with it” stuff is bullshit. Especially coming from people that sound like they already have a comfortable life.
But then it all sounds like it depends on what matters to you most. Do you care about family bonds? Do you care about your stuff? I think he needs to learn a lesson though and letting him slide, it’s just gonna keep happening.
Even if you were out of state, it would have been a simple task for your uncle to carry out if he is able-bodied and can get around. “Yo Unc, scour the pawn shops in the area to see if your brother took my shit to any of them and call me back if you hear anything.”
I don’t get the, “I’m not gonna ruin my summer to get my $2000 worth of shit back”, reasoning. How is it not relevant now? You said specifically that you know the exact spot he took your stuff to:
How about going there to see if he did, in fact, take your shit there? For all you know, they could still have your stuff, or they should be able to recall who brought it in.
