Hey all. Long time user, new name.
My sisters (ds1and ds2) and I come from a very troubled family. We recently got over our differences after going no contact with our parents. We had a family event last week and had a great time in each other’s company. We then got together again at the weekend for my child’s special event and again had a great time. Today ds1 realises that her credit card has vanished at event 1 and has been used 5 times since. BeforeAnd after event 2 for non essentials. Me being me and being like a dog with a bone went to three of the places locally that her card had been used at. Turns out that ds2s partner has taken her credit card and used it in a very local shop next to their home, ordered take away to be delivered to their home and also bought home goods . I have proof from one shop that he was on cctv. Another confirmed delivery to their address.
Ds2s partner was raised in care and they have 2 babies. Ds2 works very hard and is talking about them getting engaged. He works but is a bit of a part time cocklodger. We know 100% it was him.
I reckon she should report to police and let him face the full consequences regardless of his previous spell in young offenders. She is undecided. We are both worried about the fallout as we love our sister and her kids.
Aibu in thinking that once he has stolen from her house and committed fraud, we can never come back and he should face the law?
