My brother robbed me and I can tell you the kick in the gut was not only emotional but a physical feeling. It was drug induced but I didn't speak to him for years. Got calls to bail him out of jail on numerous occasions and just didn't pick up the phone. My mom did bail him out usually but I just had to remove myself from that situation. We are fine now as he's gotten his **it together but I have to admit it's always in the back of my mind and I wouldn't give him a key to my house
Catnapper, Do NOT doubt your instinct. I read somewhere that it's the biggest mistake women make. If you think you are being followed, 9 out of 10 times you are. If you feel in your GUT the kid did it, I'm 99.9% sure he did. Don't second guess yourself for fear of being labeled paranoid or a "stupid woman" I felt your heartbreak loosing such personal things when you were robbed. Thankfully my brother only took cash and credit cards. I completely understand the violation and insecurity you feel. I say you nail the bastard one way or another...I bet you can find out who he pawned your stuff too.
Perhaps and attack kitty is in order?? LOL
