Everyone knows that stealing has consequences, right?
Theres no doubt that thieves will get caught and consequences will be painful.
OP adds that they have camera footage where its visible that their neighbors 17 Y.O.
son took the package.
They kindly went to the neighbor to bring it up, thinking maybe the kid took it by mistake.
However, his parents ignored and denied everything.
After reporting it, 3 months later, police arrested and charged the teen.
So does the community just expects OP to eat the 2200 dollars?
If the community cares that much they could have chipped in to make it right, one user wrote.
You gave the parents a chance to not have this pursued with the police.
You made the right decision.
This 17-year-old is the one that screwed up his/her life by their actions, not you, another added.
Theyd given the parents an opportunity to rectify the situation without police involvement.
