so i called the police.

Following on from my previous thread about my teenage dog sitter taking the piss..

Basically discovered my almost 15 yr old dog walker had been in my house, gone thru my cupboards (with a friend i already banned from my home) stolen a bottle of gin, beers and a bottle of brandy. I had it out with him and his mum gave him a telling off (of sorts)

Since discovered my kids piggy bank has been emptied of all but the coppers, tens and twenties. Gutted.

I rang the other boys parnets and they said they didn't see how their son could be involved and had an awful tone.

So i rang the police who said we were within our rights to charge them but we decided a talking to would be ample.

I feel bad for my neighbour but i feel like i've been burgled and to be honest she did little more than get upset and say she was worried about him and he was still being a little cocky for my liking during our 'chat'.

Was i out of order invoving the police?? I hope it gives him enough of a fright to put him on the straight and narrow.

YANBU , i would have reacted the same way , your poor ds , thats terrible , & i really think the teenagers parents should offer to replace your sons birthday money , its the least they could do imo,
i would let her son come over to apologise & after he has done that i would ask him to repay your son .
good luck tonight x

if it turns out they have stolen anything else or done any damage then I would have them charged.

I would make the point that an apology doesn't replace the booze and money taken and they should apologise to your children too.
