I’m sending good vibes your way, too, Slee! But from the sound of your latest post, you seem to be feeling more positive. Having a plan of action in place always does that for me, too.
Well I’m glad you got the cash to make it.
I was gonna suggest looking in the dryer.
Once I was really broke, we had enough food in the house for the kids, but my not enough for my ex and I to last the 3 days to my next paycheck.
I had done some laundry and when I pulled it out of the dryer, I found a $20 bill. It was enough for some cheap for a couple days.
Wow, that’s awful. When you move out, be sure that you deal with Thiefboy somehow, so that he doesn’t trash the place after you’re gone and you get charged for it, or worse.
I hope you still call the police on the guy. If you make it all official, maybe you’ll actually get some money out of him. Or at least get some satisfaction watching the cops haul his ass in jail. A couple hundred bucks is nothing. A couple thousand is grand larceny. The cops will probably be more interested.
Umm…I hate to mention this…But I gotta…
Thief-Roomate:
*He ‘borrowed’ thousands from your sister.
*He stole from you & blamed your sister.
*He stole your sister’s checkbook.
…And Your Car Was Stolen. Now why does this make me think he took/copied your ignition key??? You need to Tell the cops. They’ll sweat the truth out of him and maybe they’ll find who he sold (gave to pay debts?) your car to.
sleestak, you still have to tell the police. He stole you sister’s checkbook. Does he still have it?
Don’t kid yourself that you’ll get all of your (and your sister’s) money back from him.
Holy crap, I didn’t even think about that! Was it stolen from somewhere that he’d have even a chance of knowing about where it was?
Yeah, was it?

I hope everything’s going well for you. Let us know what’s up when you get a chance.
This screwed story makes me think of a new thread: What is the most screwed you have ever been? Where does it belong?
IMHO – it’s a poll, of sorts. And I’m sure the Dopers would have lots of “I’m screwed” stories to share (I know I do).
Update, sorry for the delay 
Thiefboy had nothing to do with my car being stolen. That happened before I moved in to this place.
Now for more fun information. Merrick the ThiefBoy is now Merrick The Lying Thiefboy. My sister is in Albuquerque dealing with her Mothers estate(#1). I haven’t talked to my sister since I told her about the money because she is busy. Merrick has been talking to my sister. Alot. He has been calling her and telling her that I am following him around, cussing him out and basically making life uncomfortable for him. Since the theft I have said 3 things to him. I told him I found out about the theft and I wanted my money back. I told him that he is not to eat any of my food(#2). And I told him to keep the house clean because he is a slob. That is it. Nothing more. My sister for some unknown reason believes Merrick. So my sister is mad at me. I haven’t had a chance to talk to her about it yet. I just found all this out from my Dad.
My first thought when I found out about this was, So what if I am being a total ass to him? He is a thief and owes my sister thousands after all. My second thought was why in the hell would my sister believe this lying little scum? I don’t know why but my sister won’t hold him responsible for anything.
Now tonight more fun stuff. I was home watching TV and in comes thiefboy. He hands me a laptop and says I can have it, it works but needs a power cord. I said OK and nothing else. He leaves to go off somewhere. Now, another little fact that I didn’t meantion before. My sister told me not to let Merrick use her desktop computer. I said OK. I found out that Merrick was using it because I started it and, wow, look at all those porn shortcuts that were added to the start menu overnight. So I fixed it so that he cannot use it anymore. So, why would Merrick want to use my sisters computer? Because he didn’t have one. So now the question is where in the hell did the laptop come from? I have no idea but bet that it was ripped off from someone else. So tomarrow I get to call the police and check on it.
This is just getting silly. And my sister is really starting to piss me off. She gets mad at Merrick for like 3 seconds, then he crys, and then she forgives him. It just has to stop.
Slee
Wow… makes you think about roomates…
hope things get better, slee.
This just gets worse and worse! You have my sympathy!
