My SO and I were away for a few days attending my cousins wedding in Mexico. SS16 stayed behind and his uncle kept an eye on him. Upon returning home, something’s looked out of place, particularly- my things. I noticed a few of my watches missing so I Tom it upon myself to look in ss16 room. Sure enough- I found one of my missing watches. What really ticks me off is that this isn’t the first time he has taken my things. He is at school, SO is at work- I have the day off for drs appts. I have a mind to go into his room and take all of his clothes/ shoes/ anything that may be of value to him. Bag it up and toss it. I’m pretty upset do I know my thinking is a bit off. But it sure would be nice to give him a taste of his own medicine- to see how he would like it when ppl mess with his stuff. Before I got bat shit crazy- what would you all suggest? SO said we will talk to him later this evening. That’s all. And unless there is an ass beating that’s taking place- I won’t be happy. We tried “talking” before- when he took $$$ - clearly didn’t work. I’m desperate here, guys. Thanks in advance! -gonzo

I would take his valuable things, put them in a bag and keep it in the back of a locked room. Don't trash it, but take it.

First of all you need to have a lock on your bedroom door. That way you can lock it when you are not home. Your SS should never be in your room. Let your SO talk to him and handle this. His son should be held accountable for his actions that is for sure. I would not take his things. Even though you are angry about this you will look childish if you do this.

Unless you can be there all the time guarding your stuff, your problem is bigger than getting revenge.

What do you think SS was planning to do with your things? Sell them?

Forget the revenge. I'd be talking to your husband about SS finding somewhere else to live. If that's not possible, you need cameras, locks and safes.
