A family member of a friend stole my daughters piggy bank!

I am so angry! Because my poor daughter (who is only 5) had been saving to buy ME a present. I dont have the money to replace it right now.

I am just so angry...How does someone steal from a little girl?

This is going to end LOTS of friendships for me too!

I am just so hurt and angry! URGH!

Im so sorry that is horrible, how much was in it.. I cant believe that they would steal from a five year old little girl!! Good luck I hope it works out.

I'm so sorry! Trying to explain to a 5 year old is difficult enough without friends or family being the problem! Have you talked to your friend about this yet?

That is a really low and rotten thing for someone to do.I don't blame you for being angry and I really feel bad for your little one.

It wasn't much, I would say less than $50. But being a single mom, and having a mortgage, and christmas to pay for, things are over extended this month.

It is making me SICK! She doesnt even know yet, noone does. Other than you all... I just needed to vent..

Does anyone has any advise as to how to calm down???

I am also embarassed. I mean this was in MY home! My daughter wasn't here, but a few of my friends were here yesterday watching football. After the game everyone left, the young cousin came back in to grab his cell phone and the money was gone...(the whole bank was gone!)

This is my home, I feel like I dropped the ball on my daughter.

Throwing darts at my ex's picture works well for me!!

confront them on the phone and ask for it back calmly..If you can prove it call cops if they dont make good

I play violent video games. SO I can safely vent my frustration on bits of data and coding that forms pictures.

Yeah, that's pretty damn low. Absolutely no class whatsoever.

If you know positively, I'd call the police. Doesn't matter who they are.

My Daughter had that happen to her, she is 9 and was saving to buy me some presents at her Holday Santa Workshop at School.I felt so bad because she called me today at her lunch crying I went there and she told me who did it and the Teacher idn't do a dran thing about it. Now what kind of thing is that to do? My daughter isnt stupid.

**Moderator edit**

People disgust me

how low can ppl get? that when you want to take a baseball bat and #%@*&

I'd confront him I know how you feel too. I once had someone steal a bag of my daughter's bday presents at her bday party at chucky cheese! The nerve of some people

Ya thats what they do rip off their friends.
Most times I have been ripped off it was by someone that I knew. Most of the time it is.
Take a deep breath and know ~ what goes around comes around.....they will get theirs....But if you can help it along NAIL their a$$ Hope U can move on and have a good Christmas in spite of them...DON'T let them take that too

That was totaly wrong of them. to steal from a little one is low. I would confront them.

Confront him!!!

Tell him you KNOW he took it and you expect it back ALL of it or you report it to the police...if you dont say something he thinks he got away with it.. if you do nothing he DID get away with it

I'd just call the grown ups if you think it was that one young cousin person, just to complain and lament. OR JUST CALL THE YOUNG COUSIN!
DON'T ACCUSE!!! Just go on and on about how someone amongst you all would have the audacity to do such a thing, how your child is beside herself, had planned on a gift for you and to give the rest to a food bank, pour it on thick....how awful it would be to not be able to have people over knowing that SOMEONE would have to have an eye kept on them....

MAYBE something positive will come of it.

That's a wretched thing to do, for sure.

I would confront him about it, I hate a theif. My biggest problem with this is that he stole from a 5 yr old. Does he not have any morale or self respect for himself!

I feel so bad for your daughter.

Thats just wrong
