Stolen money

[Girraffe1968]

Had some money stolen from my home over 3 days in dec 2019 im guessing its too late to contact the police now. I didn't contact them because it would of caused ww3. But after yesterday laughing in my face saying prove it and ive got the msg to prove who took it.

Report it if you have proof.

You can report it but don’t be surprised if there’s little evidence and you are not likely to get any of it back.

How robust is your proof? By all means report it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too much if it's just a text message .

Its a txt msg confession saying how sorry they was because his head was messed up with his dad dying ( just an excuse) he's dads been dead a while.it was my daughters fella came to my house over 3 days to fix my bedroom door handle and each time told me to go see my grandson in car never thought he'd take my money but he did and now thinks its funny. told me to die hes an absolute disgrace told me he cant remember what he did with i put i know up his nose ( drugs) he took just over 1k i was keeping for jobs on house needed doing he only has the spare key for emergencys not to Rob me.

The problem you have is that text messages can easily be spoofed - made to look as though they come from another number - or the thief could say someone else got hold of his phone and sent it out of spite, etc. etc. The level of investigation needed to prove he took this money beyond reasonable doubt might mean there's not enough chance of a conviction to make a prosecution worthwhile. The lapse of time won't be in your favour, either.

I'm not saying don't report him - he sounds awful - just don't pin your hopes on getting the money back.

You say he's 'told you to die' - if he is harassing you, that's also something you can and should report, and there might be more chance of action being taken as it's happening in the here and now.

I hope your daughter is no longer with this nasty piece of work, and I wish you luck whatever you decide to do .

No they definitely came from him my daughter was there wen he sent it.nope shes still with him.as soon as I got my compensation money he was around asking to borrow would not take no for an answer.my dad died jan and he said watch him he will rob you blind but didn't tell him he already had had done hed be rolling in his grave

No they definitely came from him my daughter was there wen he sent it.

You know that, your daughter knows that, but if he denies it, it would have to be proved independently which could be problematic.

You have nothing to lose by reporting him, so do it, but try not to be disappointed if it doesn't lead anywhere.

Why is your daughter still with this drug-taking thief? Is she safe, and is your grandson safe? If she is trapped in an abusive relationship, there are organisations that can help.

And I'm sorry for the loss of your dad .

Yes still with him god knows why he's vile racist talks very vulgar.thinks he's god and no one can touch him he drives car like an idiot no seat belt always on fone.but shouts at other drivers on phones hes had 1000s of me.alwaus saying no food gas and electricity and saying grandkids would be cold and hungry (id never let that happen) for them anyhow but hes took the mick the amounts of money hes had of me is absolutely crazy I got my compensation just over 4 years ago and its all gone but ive been away 3 times bought my home and new stuff to go in it etc now im broke having to claim UC.

And I'm sorry for the loss of your dad .

Thanks he was 85 x

At least you managed to buy your home and have a few holidays before the money was gone, which I'm sure is just what your dad would have wanted.

Report him and see what happens. From everything you say, it sounds as though interest from the police would be the last thing he'd want, so at the very least it might shake him up a bit.

Hes abusive to my daughter the way he speaks to her but hes never hit her she would belt him back my grandson is not his but took him on when he was about 6m old they have a girl who's just gone 9.hes just plain vile disgusting scruff too.

Abuse doesn't have to be physical. Has she thought about leaving him? There are organisations that can help her to leave safely and direct her to temporary accommodation if needed.

No its her house her name on rent book not his so he can go.
