Backstory - 15 year old son has been constantly stealing from me, my husband and a few years ago - shops. Nothing I do or say seems to deter him. He is not my husbands son. It has ranged from low level stealing (like £2 here and there) so £10 going missing from my birthday money from my mum, £5 going missing out if his brother's room and last night he apparently helped himself to around £7 worth of change out of DHs coat pocket.
He will deny it until he is blue in the face but he was the only one in last night, his brother slept out. On top of this he has been stealing cigarettes off DH and me as well as stealing beer out of the fridge. I noted his bedside cabinet drawer was full of empty cans last night.
I've not approached him about this latest money going missing but I have called the police and arranged for a cso to visit the house to talk to him. ds has no idea yet. This stealing is wrecking my marriage as DH says he can't relax in his own home etc etc and it's causing the whole family grief and worry, as well as annoyance and frustration. Ultimately if he doesn't stop now, where will it end??
Have I over done it with the police involvement or is this a fair response??
