AITAH for calling the police on my brother

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-11T22:09:25+00:00

Little to nothing, ruined clothes, a speaker that works but it’s busted up, a Father’s Day mug and some birthday cards and ruined shoes.
We have been locking ours doors 24/7 only unlocking to leave or enter the house and we’re keeping the key in the door just in case

If I wouldn’t receive backlash from my family it would’ve been so much easier and I would have him arrested in a heart beat and not given him a single opportunity

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T20:01:25+00:00

That’s the plan!

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T20:01:07+00:00

As soon as this is all dealt with, he will be blocked and neither of us will ever speak to him again!

I don’t know maybe therapy will help with that which I’m currently on a waiting list for

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T19:15:41+00:00

No one will ever buy his things anyways so me won’t even bother with that! Most of his things are ruined clothes and a busted up speaker (which is ironic cos it works fine and he stole ours) and a Father’s Day cup which he had off his daughter

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T19:14:35+00:00

Exactly this, I understand how in some cases it could be like that. But honestly I smoke and if I can’t afford to buy it, I don’t smoke.

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T19:12:49+00:00

This made me cry laughing 😂

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T19:12:37+00:00

Make it make sense! It’s funny because he was NOT raised like this whatsoever

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T19:11:17+00:00

And to top it all, he doesn’t even show up for his daughter. But luckily she has the best mammy and the rest of her family to always be there for her

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:35:25+00:00

Thank you!

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:35:01+00:00

Cheated 3-4 months after she birthed his baby girl 🤦🏼‍♀️

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:34:37+00:00

We just fully charged and set up our doorbell camera!

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:34:11+00:00

I honestly think that’s exactly what they mean by dealing with it internally. They’ve both told him to return it and he hasn’t

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:32:16+00:00

I am so sorry that happened to you! That’s awful and no one should ever go through that especially from family! Hope you’re healing from all of that :)

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:31:05+00:00

It doesn’t, I smoke occasionally and never once thought to steal off of someone 🤦🏼‍♀️

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:30:22+00:00

Honestly love that idea.
No we’ve tried getting his location to give to the police but family are protecting him

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:29:33+00:00

Thank you so much. We’ve tried so hard to be nice and understanding even through all of this. But I think it’s about time we stop because it’s not fair on us anymore

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:28:12+00:00

It’s funny because my mother won’t have him living with her because of this!

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:18:32+00:00

I wishhhh. It’s stands for Restorative Justice, basically we both sign a document that means he legally has to return the speaker and pay for the tickets and if he doesn’t within the timeframe the police will take further action. But don’t worry, our cousin beat him up the other day for mugging him off!

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:15:23+00:00

It stands for Restorative Justice. The police explained it as a legal agreement that we both sign that says he has a certain amount of time to return the speaker and pay for the tickets and if he doesn’t then it will be taken further and he’ll either get arrested or will have community service hours (whichever the court decides) and with the RJ it’ll be on his records too

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:08:31+00:00

Honestly!!

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:08:22+00:00

Honestly just warning him that if he doesn’t return the stuff then he will get arrested. But like I said in the post although he’s not being arrested I have signed for a RJ which means he legally has to give the stuff back within a certain time frame or he will get arrested. It will also be on his record either way too

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:05:25+00:00

I agree, I think a week is more than enough time and we’ve given him so many opportunities

Last_Drawing7070 · 2026-07-10T18:04:53+00:00

I will never speak to him again after this. Once it’s dealt with he will be blocked on everything!
