How much have you been burned for?

this kid who i was friends with (despite him being a total low life) stole ~800-900$ from me. Which at the time(this was 9th grade, so i was 15 i suppose) was an insane amount of money for me. It was basically the sum of all the 20$ bills that I got from every birthday card/Christmas/etc over my entire life up to that point. plus a few odd dollars from when i took over some kid's paper route for a week while he was on vacation. Anyway, one day the kid breaks into my house and goes to my room and takes all the money.

I was so embarrassed by it, i didn't tell my family about it. in fact, for many years only one or two friends knew about it. i am sure my parents don't know to this day.

????????? thanks for the life lesson buddy, came about 10 years too late though [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

seriously though, parents wouldn't have done anything. other than suggest he not come over anymore. which obviously happened anyway.

interesting second story:

My father had his car hit while it was parked outside our house, he saw the act take place actually(or figured out who did it by some other means, i really can't remember) and knew the person from the neighborhood. The guy who hit his car thought nobody saw and sped off. My dad never did anything about it, in fact he refused to tell anyone in the family who hit his car.

i am still curious to this day.

I should add that the crash messed up more than just the paint job. i would guess it did $1000-$2500 in damage, but i know nothing about cars.
