If he was devious, he’d only keep it filled to a quarter tank like he started with and spend the money elsewhere.

Please read. He drove 250 miles. That’s not just running some errands.

What is his response when you asked how he filled the trick?
He can lie about finding money but he can’t lie avoid the truck being full.
Although I’m kinda amazed you know what the odometer was at?

You think he stole it to fill up the gas tank, but why would he do that? Why wouldn't he just keep it if he was going to steal money? Presumably other people at this "school thing" also accessed the truck. Also, the gas tank could have been filled by his parents.

Ultimately you need to let it go. You're the one who lost a wad of cash and didn't even notice. Take better care of your money.

Your assumptions don’t make sense to me. No one spends exactly $100 on gas, where is the change if you are so sure he did it? I think you mislaid your $$$ and are trying to blame this kid. You suck.

Damn, are you really that slow? You’re struggling to figure out what a teenager would do with the difference between $100 and filling up the tank?

He filled the tank when you didn't. good for him!

You seem really resentful about helping your aging in laws for one day. These are your wife's parents who are obviously not able to move themselves if they are moving to assisted living. You could be a bit more charitable with her family. I understand being upset about the $100 but you really have no idea and just suspicions that your nephew took it.

He is trouble but definitely say there was more money in it and then let it go. Then don't trust him and keep your items close.

This was free labor and a whole Saturday I voluunteered

The truck had a quarter tank of gas and was to be left at the sibling's house for their kid to use it for some school thing and return it to his grandfather today. He did. With a full tank of gas and 250 miles on the odometer. The problem is my money clip dropped out of my pocket and onto the floor of the cab. It held $120. When we called around asking if it had been found my FIL said yes. So I go to retreiee it. It's now $20.

Nephew claims to have no knowledge "whatsoever" about what happend to the $100. And could offer no explanation as to how he filled the truck.

I'm pretty livid and wondering if I just keep my mouth shut and the door cloed on any future help.

I suppose FIL could have stolen it!

Why would OP be on the hook to fill up the truck? He spent the day moving furniture and belongings of the truck’s owner.

+1. He filled the tanl to look good in front of grandpa and spent the extra $30 on beer and fast food, guaranteed.

PP is a mouth breathing moron.

My MIL and FIL are moving into assited living. My wife volunteered my labor to help empty the house, which included putting somethings in storage for later retrieval by other siblings, as well as delivering some furniture and art to a sibling that had already put dibs on some items.

Their son used the truck after me, put 250 miles on it, filled the tank, and lied about finding my money. He is a POS. And the family is basically doing nothing.

It's not your truck, so the mileage is not your business.

As for the money keep better track of your cash.

He filled the tank with somebody else’s money and then lied about it. Fixed for you.

OP I would be upset at the wife too. Why did she volunteer your work to bring forniture to a sibling that wanted it? That sibling could have gone and picked it up. Other siblings that want stuff in storage to retrieve later same thing. I hope your wife is sorry at least for what she put you through. Now you know who these people are and can act accordingly. The $100 are gone and are the price to pay to never having to do a favor to these people again

You call the mother and say hey I lost my wallet and now I’m missing $100, let me know if you find it in your driveway. That way she knows her kid is a little thief.
