how to deal with a neighbor who steals.?

Question

I discovered my 8 year old neighbor is a theif, I recently lost a camera not a very expensive camera, but my neighbors kid who is friends with my kid came over to spend the night, well she brought over a camera to ask me if I had any batteries for it, I looked at it and sure enough it is the camera I lost, same size memory card, it was even broken like my camera was the battery door didnt close all the way, but it was still functional I have all the accessories and the original box it came in, she insists it is hers. I like my neighbors but i dont know what to do, I have also recently lost 2 expensive watches, I wonder if I could locate those at her house.

Answer 1

Take a vote, be democratic about it. Go to the neighbor on the other side of their house and ask them if they think it is OK that the little girl steals your stuff? Maybe that neighbor doesn't like you?? If he say yes, don't take his word for it. Maybe the guys a jerk. Hit every one on your street, asking them the same question. If all of them say Yes; that stealing is OK with them as long as the stealing doesn't concern anything of theirs, and you still have doubts, go buy a clip board and some paper, and take a poll going door to door, asking everyone in the county if it is OK to steal your stuff. If majority rules, saying that it is OK that the little girl steals your stuff, without asking you, then that should satisfy the matter. Hey, you did the poll. Everyone agrees it is OK to steal your stuff.

The poll being done democratically will resolve the matter automatically. It is no different than when you yourself go to the polls for the purpose of voting on a new law that will tax your neighbor.

Who cares if your neighbor wants to pay some stupid tax or not. Majority rules, and he will be stolen from whether he likes it or not. Sorta like you and the matter of the little girl. It's all a question of NEED isn't it? The little girl needs your camera, and so she takes it. The federal government, state government, county, or city government NEEDS to soak you for another tax on something (theft by any name you call it) and so the voting public (mostly state, city, and county employees who will be encouraged to vote FOR the passage) goes to the poll and takes a vote to see if it is OK to steal from you. Twenty % of the population shows up. Eleven % of the population (representing 51% of the votes casted) vote FOR the tax increase, and you loose more money out of your wallet, just like in a Stick-up. The other 80% that didn't vote,... well, they get taxed too anyway for bad behavior. Theft is theft is theft, just like sin is sin is sin. It's all the same thing.

Oh, one more item I forgot. As part of that poll, don't forget the little girl's parents. Maybe, just maybe they will take the hint. Digital camera and two expensive watches!!! I'd say that problem needs some serious nipping in the bud. What can you borrow of hers (the little girl's) that would bring the parents over to your house? Maybe you can work an exchange?

Rest easy my friend, it's the American way. Stealing is a way of life. Government condones it, even encourages it, and does it everyday....it's the democratic way....You know, majority rules. The following is just a sampling of their "WORK". With a little effort I am sure you can add to the list.

Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.

Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.

Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.

Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.

Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"

And when he's gone,
We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago
And there was prosperity, absolutely no national debt, the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

Answer 2

If you have proof, find an officer that will come and talk to her about the direction she is going. Maybe the scare tactic will work

Answer 3

when ever she is coming over put a broom outside your door but make sure you turn it up side down but remove it when she is gone works like a charm, but make sure you put it back in its regular spot after she is gone just take it out when she is coming over because it's only for her.good luck
