After calling the cops and couple more furious calls later, it turns out that a guy who used to be so-called "friend" had come in to my garage with a spare remote that I had thought missing, popped the door to my house with a crowbar, got the key, and drove it around for the two weeks i've been gone- putting 3000 miles on it and using my card all the while to fill the gas and also taking out 400 dollars as his living expense. Needless to say, he's on drugs and should be put away...

In my experience no good deed ever goes unpunished. Put this bastich in jail where he belongs before he takes my Vette. Do us all a favor. How do you think he's going to do in college on drugs anyway.

I suspect that this kid's problem is two fold. His and his fathers. I can't blame his father for his addiction .. but maybe his does share responsiblilty for the way his son has grown. I have 2 teenage kids myself and they require 100% supervision and my total involvment. Were that my son, he would be in court facing a judge. I won't live forever and what he does is his...R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y.... Sorry to hear bout the whole mess.

Beat his AZZ.... thats the only type schoolin someone like that understands..... make his ole man step up to the plate for the expenses or whip him too.....
Thats what would have happened here. My dad would have beat my Azz, had me chunked in jail till I rotted, and made me figure a way to take care of the money. Thats whats wrong with this country now..... "oh give him another chance!"
he'll have anouther chance after he gets out and heals up!

Mileage just went up from .0375 to 0.405 per mile so at 3000 miles your buddy owes you $1215 for the joy ride for starters. Hopefully he pays you for that and the other stolen things before he goes to jail.

I'd want jail time for this criminal and repayment as part of his probation sentencing so that if he doesn't - he goes back to jail.

What the parents fail to do early on - the criminal justice system then is forced to... and that involves OUR TAX DOLLARS

Don't enable this guy. By being easy, you're only encouraging that behavior and he'll do it again. Time for some "tough love."

So let me get this straight. This moron B & E'd your house, stole your car (I think that is classified as AUTO THEFT) and committed credit card fraud and you went whinning to DADDY? And you think he is going to make it "all better"?
Grow up and press charges. Maybe your friend will eventually grow up also when he faces his responsiblities.

So does that guy’s dad think his drug issues will go away? They will not! Sometimes the best way to help someone is not to help him or her. Let him go to prison and get his drug problem fixed and then he has allot of time to redirect his life, if HE wishes too. He has to, not his daddy. All he will do is be more careful with his drug use since he has been caught now. He is not going to change without HARD punishment. I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for a druggy. Jan 5th last year a DRUGGY MURDERED my Sister-inlaw. He had 6 beers and a hit of Coke before 9am. At 9:30 Am he grabbed Stacy, drug her into his apartment and stomped her brains out. Do everyone a favor before this person turns into something worse, put him away.

I have a family member with a similar problem with drugs, he was always "let off", and never really suffered any consequences, so, at age 43 he has not changed. It will not help anything to have his Daddy pay for his mistakes and no charges filed by you.
Put him in Rehab/jail or he will do it again! If he did it to my CE, he would also need a little dental work first before his court appearance. Just my 2 cents worth.
Hope it gets straightened out!

That just sucks, let him pay for his mistakes. And you know he was ******* the Vette as well for those 3k miles. Check it over and document any damages.

As a defense attorney (current duty assignment, not life calling), I don't often find myself in COMPLETE agreement with LEO's... But for once, listen to EVERYONE's advice here and PRESS CHARGES!!!! You'll actually be doing him a favor, because it's the ONLY way he'll get help.
