Over the course of 2 weeks, my younger brother was robbing me blind and I had no idea until it was too late.
Quick breakdown of what happened to me:
I go to Cali on vacation for a week, come back and I'm missing $600 cash from my closet. Knew right away who it was. Notified my mom, and of course she downplayed the whole thing and just told me to let it go, he's your little brother and just let God deal with it. I couldn't even think straight once that happened. I lost it.
We think he's on some hardcore drugs, and he's only 21. No other reason why he would do this.
Than over the course of the next 2 weeks, he literally broke into my mothers house by climbing through the window, and he got me for 10 deadstock pairs of sneakers. And I didn't noticed until 2 days ago, because it never occured to me to look in my closet until the other day. I dont know what to do, I've never taken a loss this big before in my life, financial-wise. I already filed a police report on him, because it was either that - or I hunt him down and physically hurt the kid bad, like permenant disfigurment type hurt. But than my mother would suffer if I did that, so I resorted to calling the police.
Home insurance won't cover it because me and him are both listed on the policy as residents (I no longer even live there anymore, purchased my own home a few months ago).
I'm sick with it fambs. It's pretty much a $3,000-$3,500 loss I just took, and I can't comprehend the reasoning behind robbing your own brother, and it's eating me alive the more I think about it.
Pairs he got me for (all DS except for probably 1 pair): Jordan 6 infrared, Jordan 11 Concord, Jordan 11 Black/Red, Jordan 1 Hare, Jordan 9 powder blue, Jordan CDP 5, Jordan 7 charcoal, Jordan 3 88 OG, Jordan 1 shadow.
I'm sick with it NT :/ . It's so ironic that I've been put in a position to prevent fraud and theft here on NT with the classified section, and here I am dealing with the biggest loss of my life in terms of money/sneakers.
All those sneakers were pretty much my back-up resource for funds in case I never needed it, because I just purchased a new home and car and now I'm literally ******.
Has anyone ever dealt with a similar situation? Do I just give up on the sneaker thing and never look back? I'm literally in shambles, I can't even go to sleep at night because I can't over the fact my younger brother of all people - got me.
