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.

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?

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.

Anonymous wrote:You have suspicions but no evidence. You can't prove that you had $120 in the clip and you can't prove that the kid took it. 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.

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