Sorry to hear Speedy . I think you handled it very well . Glad you're getting
your coins back . Still it must be a bummer for you . But it definately shows your class trying to help another person who wronged you out .

Speedy,

Glad to see you, it has been a while!

Sorry to hear about this. In your situation it sounds like you have taken the best approach. At some point hopefully your friend will get his life turned around. Given enough time to prove that it really has happened you may want to sit down and talk with him about what happened. Unfortunately he is probably going to go through tougher times before it will get better assuming it does.

Take care and best wishes!

By not turning him in, you're only enabling the situation to continue, in my humble opinion.

I'd know... I had a friend, a very good friend, addicted to meth. He stole about $300 cash from my wallet one night, along with a couple credit cards, and I knew it was him, he admitted it when I approached him about it. I opted not to turn him in to the police and just file a fraud report for the CC's.

He overdosed on a mix of meth, coke, and Xanax five days later. His little sister found his lifeless body in the kitchen when she came home from school.

Turn him in for his own good. You don't want to regret not doing it every single day of your life for as long as you're alive.

I know I do.

 

Speedy, man, I comprehend your words.
Years ago:
I took a vacation out of town, and when I returned, my front door and two of my windows were destroyed. I walk in and notice that some of my furniture and part of my collection are missing. One of my neighbors (who actually videotaped part of the robbery!) tells me that because he recognized that it was one of my family members (one of my cousins), he decided to not act about it. I tell him that it is all fine, and I thank him for giving me the original tape.
Anyway, I never spoke with my cousin about the robbery. My relations with my family members are all very calm, and I admire them like that.
Besides, my most expensive possessions are buried underground.

I apologize for what occurred to you. Try to tranquilize yourself...we are animals.


Cordial salutations.

 

Sorry to hear that speedy. It is hard when one is hurt by family. My nephew as a juvenile was into drugs, theft, etc. when he was caught and sent away for a year. Best detox and eye-opening awareness one could ask. When he got out, he went to a community college, and became a state employee ( his record had been sealed) of 30 years and a family man until his death from cancer. Best wishes in working this through for the best of all.

Good to hear from you speedy. Sorry about the circumstances though. I agree with the posts about enabling, as I am an AA member. (18 yrs sober so far.) Tough love they call it.
I had a good friend help me dismantle a motorcycle and sell the parts on ebay, it wasn't even my motorcycle, he kept the money and I never saw him again. Not a friend anymore.

 

Thanks guys -

Ya'll could be right on the enabling part - but we have to make a choice and stand by it - as the song says, you got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything - we will be keeping an eye on this case and if it seems to get worse, then we will have to act on what infomation we have. It's not like I have fingerprints, picture proof, etc....

As things happen I plan to update here!

Speedy

 

You should have kicked his/her ***.

 

It,s not so much about the money but the trust you lost for someone that you knew
For along time!

 

Sorry to hear that speedy and good luck on any decision you make. Hopefully it works out for the best.

 

Speedy, I would be willing to give you some of my collection to help rebuild yours if you like.

If you cant find something pleaase let me know, I will see what i can do.

 

That really sucks!

 

I've had coins stolen, too...it S**KS! However, as you so elequently put it, people are more important than coins.

 

Terrible. Sorry to hear.

Years ago, a "friend" of mine stole $5 from me. I knew he had done it (won't go into the details), but at the time, I decided just to let it go so as not to upset the applecart. Now, I'm sorry I didn't confront him. I know you have thought this through, but I would seriously consider confronting him with it. How can your friendship ever be the same anyway (it can't). Good luck with what ever you decide.

 

All I can say is Speedy my friend you are a better person than I am and way more forgiving

 

Speedy....it's good to see you back but it sucks it's under this condition. Hope it works out well fror you.

 

Nothing worse than having a so-called friend that steals from you! I have experienced this myself, a friend of mine stole of all things my mothers silverware! This is the ultimate betryal in my book. Needless to say we are no longer friends and I no longer trust like I did before. Come to find out she has a real stealing problem that about to land her in jail. KARMA! Sorry to here of your loss speedy and I will share also. What do you need?

 

Sorry to hear about your loss speedy. I agree with other posters on here, the betrayal part is worse than the loss.

I'd confront the person on it. Nobody needs a snake like that hanging around waiting to strike again. No telling what they'll steal next.
