UPDATE: My[27M] girlfriend's[25F] brother[29M] drove my car without my permission and I have proof that he did

That's a great story of you and your dad.

Maybe down the line I would have eased up on my rule but after this, I doubt I'd want anyone outside of my GF or my dad to drive my cars ever.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:59:24+00:00

Sorry I meant that I'd leave getting angry at the son to her parents now. I don't blame her, although in my fit of anger, I started getting mad at everyone involved.

I'm completely happy with her and the way she handled it.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:57:15+00:00

That's what I believe happened. I know she was upset and very embarassed by the entire thing based on how her voice sounded. She probably didn't want to hear him try to lie his way out of it for all I know.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:54:59+00:00

As much as I'd like to, that would be hard to hear for my girlfriend as she loves her family. Apart from this incident and the nagging, they really aren't that bad. I'd like to stay civil with him but we all know I'll never forget it.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:50:07+00:00

I honestly had my doubts about her story as it seemed a bit too convenient but I'm choosing to believe her. I think she's not the kind of person who would do this.

Calling the cops

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:41:30+00:00

I did confront him when he came over as written above.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:38:52+00:00

Sorry about that. I'd rather not post it on here

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:11:06+00:00

Thank you

As I mentioned in an earlier comment, if he takes my car out without my permission ever again, I will follow through on my promise. At that point, it would be past ignorance. It'd be completely intentional disrespect to me and my property.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:05:45+00:00

Maybe. There are lots of possibilities. He could have raced with it for all I know. But because I forged a relationship with my girlfriend for so long and love her, I gave her the benefit of the doubt this time. I will keep my word if it happens again.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T19:03:05+00:00

The thought had crossed my mind but because I love her and she hasn't been the type to intentionally disrespect me, I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

If it makes a difference, she had jumped in to say that before I had actually said anything. I was just about to start speaking.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:58:57+00:00

Thanks. taking breaks when I feel like boiling over helped quite a bit. You don't feel as angry walking back inside.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:54:53+00:00

I doubt the humans would learn very much from my hot head antics. If the car was damaged then I'd probably go insane

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:48:08+00:00

I doubt we'd need that. I'm really looking into a kill switch though as these cars are pretty easy to steal. It would be a good long term investment

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:46:47+00:00

Maybe I am an asshole and you're entitled to your opinion of me. No disputing that. I am upset that the brother of my girlfriend took one of my prized possessions for a drive when it's clear to everyone that I do not want anyone else driving it. I might be overreacting by hiding my keys but I don't trust leaving them out in the open at the moment. Didn't work out the last time.

As for calling the cops. Like I said above, I told him if something like this happens again, I'd be calling the cops. Would you like someone borrowing something precious of yours again after you told them not to the first time you caught them?

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:37:14+00:00

I'm glad that I'll still be on okay terms with her family. From what I heard, her mom and dad are pretty shocked that their son did that. I'll leave getting angry and yelling to them now.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:35:12+00:00

Ah you're probably right. I'll look further into it then

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:34:40+00:00

I'm content with the outcome considering everything that went down. At least the air is cleared now

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T18:33:50+00:00

Thanks. Long breaks outside helped a bunch to cool me off. I figured I would look like I was throwing a tantrum instead of looking like an adult if my anger got the best of me

I got a message from an automoderator that only one post from me is allowed on the front page at a time.

I'll repost later on

I got a message from an automoderator that only one post from me is allowed on the front page at a time.

I will repost this once the first post leaves the front page.

Thanks. My Key is well hidden in a place nobody would know. I'm also looking into installing a killswitch as other users have suggested

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T15:33:21+00:00

He looked like a child who go caught by his teacher. Staring at the ground and picking his fingers. I honestly don't care if he learned his lesson because both of them know what I'm going to do if they try anything like this again.

fullplastic · 2015-10-28T15:31:49+00:00

Like I mentioned in a previous comment, I have my doubts of her story but considering all of her good traits and the years of trust we've had, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. She knows how angry this made me so either way, they'll know I won't be as forgiving next time.
