Please do (after you secure a new place to live). Just because they’re your parents, that doesn’t give them the right to steal from you. You tried to resolve it with talking and they didn’t even try to negotiate, so this is entirely on them.

Edit: The parts in brackets.

I can't believe a 16yr old is being down voted for not wanting his parents arrested. Not to mention having autism and dealing with all the implications with having your parents who provide for you arrested. He has a very good point here as well, yeah I'm sure the cops are just gonna go

"Ah well, he said they stole it so, book em boys!"

Let's say it does play it like that, now what's he gonna do? Maybe some family member would take him in, if they're not against him for putting parents in jail. If not then what, the foster care system?

I can only think it's children replying to you or people absolutely out of touch with reality. OP Sorry your parents are ignorant and treat you like this, I don't know your situation at all but if your parents aren't utterly evil then make it well known you won't stand being walked over, don't let them hide you away and shelter you from things if you feel you can handle whatever it is.

Some parents are very ignorant to the point of causing harm, unless it's truly abusive and being on the streets is better, then as someone who had fairly ignorant parents what improved my situation is standing up for myself. I don't know your full situation I can only offer that surface level advice, best of luck.

Of course they did - they don't want to be accused of having stolen goods.

The reality is if you file a police report you will get your coins back from the pawn shop. However, the police will file charges against your parents.

You would need to decide - do you value your relationship with your parents or your memories with your grandpa more.

Write them off as soon as you can and get life lock because they will most likely use your social security to get credit cards and loans in your name. Never ever tell them about your money or possessions or they will take it too.

And then what? OP is homeless because his parents actually hate him now and OP has to go to court to deal with the fucking follow up of calling the police on his parents. That is a great answer for someone sitting at their keyboard completely disconnected from the situation. First of all OP needs to become self sufficient or their entire world could disappear and they’ll end up much worse off than just missing their silver collection.

Edit: and y’all are downvoting them for saying they don’t want to call the cops on their parents. What a joke.
