    My son steals from us
    My 18 year old son continues to steal from us. When he comes home from school, he snoops through our things, takes any money he can find (believe me there is not alot) and helps himself. We have a coin collection from a passed on family member and we just found items in his room, after going through our things we found multiple coins missing. I feel like he is invading my personal space and I just don't know what to do about it. He has even taken our credit cards, which he uses only for food and things, nothing outrageous, but he still takes it! When I discovered he had my card I told him Iwould report it stolen and have him arrested next time he tried to use it and he didn't use it after that, But then he comes home and helps himself to other things. I just don't know what to do. He has taken money from our walltes, his sister etc... Any advice?

    I think that he gets away with far too much!
    What have you done to stop him? Tried talking to him, told him what will happen if he doesn't stop stealing from you? If you give him warning that he may have to leave your home then it might be a wake up call.
