[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You let your brother who just got out of prison borrow your car/  What did you expect?[/quote]

This is a very sad reply. The OP loves her brother, and wanted to help him. She's not being judgmental, and is willing to give him a chance. I don't think she's stupid, but she may have been gullible. Perhaps her brother is charming, and he manipulated her into loaning him her car for a couple of hours. Some of us really do believe there's good in all people and try to give them the chance to show it. In this case, her brother failed her. I have a rotten brother, but I've given him loads and loads of chances because I love him and want the best for him. I've finally given up on him, but it makes me sad. It probably makes the OP sad that her brother's been in jail. Don't you ever want to give people a helping hand, PP? Sometimes you lose, and in this case the OP did lose, but the inclination to help someone is admirable, and I'd hate to crush that out of her because of this bad experience. Now she knows not to trust her brother, and she may learn to be more aware of warning signs that her good will is making it easy for others to manipulate her. But that good will is a precious thing, and I admire the OP for trying, even if she lost out this time.

OP, please, when you pull yourself together, do press charges. I know he's your brother, but you can't let him get away with this. How much is the dent going to cost to fix? And fifty bucks is money to me. Even if it's a misdemeanor, it's a CRIME. He's on probation, and he STOLE. How old is your brother, OP? If there are no consequences, he'll keep going with this behavior until he f***s up big time and the consequences are severe. You may help save him from himself. Even if he's beyond saving, you will be standing up for yourself, and that's worth something. Don't let this go. [/quote]
