How do you handle a situation where a relative constantly steals your money?

[Kross]

I have a friend whose younger brother stays with him and is in the habit of putting hands in his pocket to steal money. How would you handle such a situation?

I experienced it too with my two nieces who were high school that time. At first I didn't notice because they stole small amount $5 , then $10 but later on I realized I've lost $20 in series so I was mad and there's no other suspect. What I did I placed my bag in the locker and noticed their changed behavior, but I let them confessed and they both cried. I've learned their mom give them a very small allowance $3 but I adviced them not to steal or to report them to the police. They're so afraid and promised not to steal again which they did. I also give them additional daily allowance to avoid stealing.

Avoid living in the same house with relatives who you do not trust, or keep your money secure in a locker which the relatives cannot access even when you are asleep.

I cannot tolerate living with someone who constantly steals money from me. I dislike dishonest people, and I'd rather live alone than be surrounded by bad company.

I'll give him/her some warnings. I will also keep my money in a safe place. Probably in a locker.

I have been in this situation. It gets complex when your relative looks so innocent and you would believe he or she can't steal. You would just be confused.

I don't allow anyone to touch my purse excepting my sons. I stay away from relatives who are dishonest.

it is to send them bdvk to their base if after scolding them and there still no change. I would not harbor petty thieves in my house

What if they are your biological siblings and there is no other base than with you? Best thing is to keep your money where no one can reach.

You can't be too careful in your home. if they are my siblings which I prayed against such habit it is back to their parents.

Be careful with such people and ask them to leave your house if they are living with you. I have never encounter such people in my life but I won't live with such people.

 

[Xtynehappy]

That is actually disappointing. Of the relative is over 18 years of age they can rent their own house and live for themselves.

The tech, internet companies are involved in a more sophisticated fraud since 2010, falsely claiming some of my relatives, who do not spend any time or money are working me to deny me a life of dignity, while the liar relatives are becoming very rich only for making fake claims.

I wouldn't tolerate that. if that happens to me, I will cut off relationship with this person, no matter how close this person is

 

[eLdavis]

If you know a relative is stealing your money, the best thing to do would be to stop keeping your money in a place where they have easy access to steal the money.

 

[Fidelia]

I wouldn't tolerate that. if that happens to me, I will cut off relationship with this person, no matter how close this person is

At least for the meantime, till the person gets to realize that what they have done is very wrong. It could be such a frustrating situation.

I will try to keep my money safe, such as putting it in a safe place and if necessary giving it a PIN or password.

Exactly, if you know this person steals, instead of fighting over it or stressing yourself, simply keep your money where they can't have access to it.

That's the way to go. it is to remove such a person from your dwellings. it would not help you prosper

The first step is to find a place where you will be locking your money. Secondly, call them and give them some little punishment. Then, if the behavior continues, better send them where they are coming from.
