It's never just easy

[bshore]

So, now on top of my stressful major, new demanding job, and the fact that I never get to go home and see my family (including my boyfriend), I find out that my roomate is stealing from me.

That's right, a book of my checks was stolen, and someone has written $1300 in checks in the last few weeks. I went to the police last week, and they're sure it was one of my roomates. I am absolutly sick to my stomach. Today, I get to go file a police report with my other roomate (who had $600 taken off her debit card about a month ago) and start pressing charges. Forgery carries up to years in prison.

The wors part of it all is, I have to keep living with her till our apartament manager gets arround to evicting her or letting us out of our lease so we can find a new place to live. This is exactly what I needed right before my midterms.

Ok, thank you for listening to my rant. :rant:


Time to get some coffee and get back to work.

Ugh. Just got a call from the cops. They have her on tape at Wal-mart buying a bunch of stuff and writing a check at the time one of my checks has printed on it. And a clerk at Wells Fargo ID'd her as the person who cashed a check from me to her (which I never wrote0. So, now I get to watch these videos.

Has anything like this ever happened to anyone here? I kinda feel really crappy now, and would love any advice.

I'd throw her out. Seriously. She's a liar, a thief, and has no business living with you anymore. She needs to go. You and your other roommates need to tell her to do so, in so many words. Unless you're afraid she'll run once she finds out the police are after her. Which case, I'd tell the police she may run if she finds out and they'll pick her up faster.

This is serious. She's committed fraud and stolen monies from TWO of you, that you know of. How horrible for you. I'm so sorry you are going through all this right now. If you needed to, you could talk to your professors and see if they'll postpone your midterms for you til after your vacation. These are certainly mitigating circumstances, and most professors, I would think, would understand!

Good luck Hon, and get this chick out of your life ASAP--lock your bedroom door and lock up all your stuff if you can!

[bshore]

Oh, we're not gonna live with her anymore. It just sucks right now, because we've had to keep her arround and pretend nothing is wrong while it's being investigated. We're keeping our rooms locked and everything, it's just emotionally draining living with someone whom you suspect of something so violating. Every time she comes home with a new purchase, we all wonder if she used her own money or ours. I can't wait till noon today when my other roomate and I file charges and talk to our apt. manager. Hopefully we won't have to deal with her anymore.

That is just horrible. I would feel betrayed and hurt. If she needed something why did she just not ask someone for some help.It amazes me that people think they can get by with doing something like that and no one will find out or be the wiser. :hugz::hugz: I hope this is all over for You soon hun.

[stormyray]

so sorry this is going on. You did the right thing by reporting her. I know it is hard when it is someone you are close to( My father did something similar a few years ago) Hugs for you hope this gets taken care of quickly.

[GreenWitch13]

Wow! I just wanted to add to this by saying I too am so sorry about this. Stay strong and hang in there. You are doing the right thing! :)

[fay]

oh no that sounds horrible! cant say i can relate (im not even old enough to have a checkbook yet!) but i think that thats awful. it must be horrible to find that someone you trusted was so mean. hope things all clear up soon. im always here to listen whenever you want to talk, rant or not :nyah:
hope things go well with your midterms
blessed be

My friend had a similar experience. I suppose I could give reasons to why she did it, but that would be justifing why she did this and she has no right to. I hope your ok. I dont think my friend got the police involved but they rang her family and there paying all the money back.

[bshore]

Thanks everyone for your hugs and thoughts!! We had her arrested today. It was really hard to watch, but I'm relieved she's gone. I stil have tons of stuff to do tonight, but don't feel like it. i just feel sick. Thanks again.

Blessings

Wanted to add this, in the future for all of your credit/debit/ATM cards sign the back in big bold letters: SEE ID . Thus reducing your chances of this happening again. Do NOT sign the card, but write that instead. :)
