Re: stolen property
Do I understand this correctly: a stranger, your boyfriend's ex and mother of his child, went into YOUR home and stole these items? and your boyfriend wants to do NOTHING?
1. Get a new boyfriend. Ask politely ONCE for the daughter to return or pay for the items within...a week. Put it in writing.
2. Go to the police and report the thefts and have criminal theft charges brought against the ex. And maybe against the daughter, who had no business giving YOUR key to her mother. She assisted in the theft.
3. Consider hiring an attorney to sue her for theft, and seek payment of the value of the stolen items plus 'punitive damages', payment from the ex and the daughter to you to punish for the theft.
