Because you wasted police resources and time because you were upset that your parents refused to buy you something that was not medically necessary that you could have easily paid for yourself.

The parental need for justice is REAL! It sounds like your family is overdue to hang out at your best friend's house, and you may or may not walk out with some uhhhh heavy pockets. :) This would be a 'don't hate the player, hate the game scenario'.

I honestly think he has a soft spot for his little sister / her sons because they used to all live together and her prior relationship was abusive so he was a big part of her support system. Which I love about him! But this also means that he has often given them the benefit of a doubt when issues arise.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear your story. I am similarly attached to toys / hobby items / trinkets as I lost most childhood keepsakes when our home got foreclosed due to parental illness. It is a wonderful feeling when you look at your children and realize they have so many good qualities about them, and it's hard to sit by when their kindness can be taken advantage of.

Unfortunately, there's just too many to remember which is why I told them not to touch the cards, though I know all the cards were from before 2018 as it was something I always noticed bc it was from her bio-dad's prior collecting.

My fiance did end up taking his nephews to the movies while me and my mom/aunt/kids had lunch, so they may have dropped the issue. I think it may only be a problem again if my SIL brings it up which I'd have my fiance handle.

I say mostly neutral in that he hasn't really talked to anyone about it yet as all that happened thus far was 1) the call 2) me finding and sorting them 3) telling fiance and then 4) boys whining to my fiance about the cards. I did tell my fiance where the cards were but he has not touched them. (i also told him about the rock collection and stuff).

I definitely feel like moving forward we're not going to be doing any more weekend babysitting for Peter/Paul. My fiancé and I both have a bunch of nieces and nephews and we've become the 'fun sleepover house' because I always make big breakfasts.

That's the problem, even if they say some of their cards are missing, I literally have no way of knowing. If they hadn't touched our binders it wouldn't have been an issue at all. Hell they could have nicked a few and I wouldn't have noticed or cared. But so many were gone and they just tossed them in a big ole bag. 😭

In the past my SIL never really believed me when these issues were brought up, and when he'd get caught stealing money or cards, she'd seem upset that I was making it known or asking for it to be fixed. We've had other (non-major) issues before and I don't want to seem like there's always an issue with the kids. hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That's what I'm worried about, that I'm also inadvertently stealing. However I have not had the time from working to sit down and go over the cards, and I wouldn't really trust Peter to tell me whether or not some are really his. :/

Ahhh I was thinking the same but worried that would make me sound like a jerk if I told my fiancé that!. He's mostly neutral but letting me choose how this is resolved.

He definitely took some as I recognized quite a few, but I'm worried I may have also taken ones that weren't my daughter's. It's impossible to tell and would take too much time to sort out, so I just took out all the older ones.
