sorry??????????
you said you are sorry??????
how low can you get????/
your own grandmother?
do you know how horrible that is!?
the money, although probably badly needed, for someone older and unable to work and on a fixed income, isn't really the issue.
It is the heartache you caused that woman. She is probably devastated and heartbroken.
What a horrible, horrible thing for you to do.
I hope it is a HORRIBLE ACT of a decent person who just really, really messed up and not the act of a HORRIBLE PERSON!!!

Yes, I believe you were wrong to steal $500 from your grandmother; however, grandmothers are even more forgiving than mothers, so I am sure you have been forgiven by her. I don't think she will forget you did it, though, and your relationship with her may not be the one you had before until she begins to trust you again.
If there is any way you can reimburse her for the money you took, I believe you need to. If you are too young to earn money, consider helping her in other ways. I don't know her circumstances or yours; but, if she has a home, you could mow her yard, help her with her grocery shopping, taking care of pets she may have, share a meal with her. There are so many little things grandmothers like to share with their grandchildren.
The worst thing you can do is avoid her. She still loves you.

It's wrong to steal from anyone. From your grandmother and not give it back, wow, that's just plain pathetic. I know it's probably not the response your looking for. It was $500 dollars, what's wrong with you? Pay it back, even if it takes you a long time, at least your trying to make things right.

Of course it was wrong to steal $500 from your grandma. Stealing is always wrong, no matter whom you steal from or how little you steal. The best thing for you to do is to repay your grandma her money as soon as possible, and start going out of your way to help her. Don't do this again. You don't want it to become a bad habit you can't break, and one that may eventually get you into some deep legal trouble. If you don't have the money for something you simply want, do without.

Yes, of course it was wrong that you stole the money from your grandmother...but you seem to me to be a person with a good conscience...because you confessed the theft to her. You also mention, however, that you haven't paid her back...that too is apparently on your conscience. If you don't have the money now, you should nevertheless try to make an effort in paying her back. I also noticed that you didn't mention anything that your grandmother said when you confessed this thing to her. Does she expect you to pay her back? Has she forgiven you? Follow your heart...which appears to be a good one from what I can tell over electric wires and words...follow your heart and do what it thinks is right.

Why no, its perfectly all right! What the hell is wrong with you-you know how wrong you are. You should be strung up and beat with a whip for stealing money from your Gram. And that "sorry" crap doesn't cut it-if you were so sorry you would have never taken it in the first place. I hope that poor woman disowns you and never has anything to do with you from now on-you deserve it.

Buddy, you're going straight to hell. I wouldn't even think of stealing 500 bucks from a corporation let alone a grandmother (even though it would make more sense to steal from a corporation). Give the money back to her, dude.

You can still return the money.
If you choose to do so, use this inflation calculator to determine how much that $500 is worth today.

You also should take into account that if this money was invested wisely, it would return about 10% interest. Multiply the present value of the money by 1.1 for every year you have had it. That will tell you what it would be worth to her if she had had it all this time.
Then, you may choose to add a penalty.

if you are a Christian, you should not only pay her back, but give her 1/5 more, meaning a total of 600$ (somewhere in the old testiment, I think Leviticus). You may get lucky and your grandmother refuses the money, but either way, you have to be sincere in your attempt to return the money. Dude, that's your family!

Yes it was very wrong. Stealing is bad enough in it's self, stealing form family is really low. You really should pay your grandmother in full with interest and you should do everything in your power to restore her trust in you. I know I personally would not be able to live with myself knowing that I had betrayed my family so horribly.

Yes, it is wrong to steal from family members. Possibly if you had asked, she might have given it to you. Now you have a black mark against you and she will remember it for a long time.
If you ever thought to inherit something from her, you can probably forget it after doing such an unkind thing.
