My partner and I went to a couple gym classes around the holidays and despite doing the exact same program I burned like twice as many calories as she did. We also did a diet for a bit last year and I lost about 10 more pounds than she did in the same timeframe. I think it’s tough when Male and Female partners try to lose weight doing the exact same things

My mother used to steal from us all the time when I was a kid. Any money that we earned, or something she could sell, she'd take it. It took me a long time to learn that just because you are related to someone, that doesn't mean that they are your family.

I would take it to civil court and sue your parents. Sure it will burn your bridges with your parents, but that bridge isn't worth saving.

Pawnshop owners see these situations all the time and they won’t budge without a police record. They’re pretty predatory in that regard but from their perspective, there’s always someone with a sob story every day and they’re pretty callous to which ones are real or not. Police report is the way to go.

Damn you gotta get out of that toxic house when you are of age and use this kind of stuff as fuel to be a better person than them.

In time you will realize that it's the memories that count and not the physical object. However, what happened to you isn't the way to learn this lesson, sorry that it happened yo you.

Reminds me of a Knight's Tale. "Your beauty will be reflected in the strength of my horse, the power of its flanks."

Empty words!? So are you saying you wouldn’t actually let him see your dick any time he wants?? He might be more upset by that.
Edit: sick->dick…thanks autocorrect

Responded to your other comment already! Theft by deception is different than grand theft auto.

Nobody pawns things when things are 100% okay. Do you really have such a ridiculous thought process that you think they’re fine financially and just wanted to pawn their son/fathers silver collection to get some McDonald’s and cigarettes? Things are most likely not ideal.

See my other comment for more info. But (at least in Missouri my) you can absolutely file that as stolen. My future sister in law works at a carmax. Someone test drove a car and was supposed to return in about 15 minutes. An hour later with no contact they reported it stolen and the kid was charged with vehicle theft.

This is a really crappy situation. Do you have any trusted adults at your school or in your family you can talk to you about this?
The school might be able to help out as this sounds abusive and they might be able to help you with it.
I’m sure you’re feeling a lot of anxiety about this but things will get better. Especially if you seek help of a trusted adult who is close to you.

Again, they lied about needing money for the mortgage. There's no indication about it being in jeopardy at all, they just wanted easy money to spend.

A valet driving off with your car would also be theft by deception, the crime you are describing. This isn't a crime in every state, but there is no state where you can be charged with grand theft auto if you have the keys unless you also committed robbery/breaking and entering to get the keys. That "permission" you discussed is what eliminates culpability on the driver's part. You can't withdraw permission anytime you want and make it a crime.

No.
This actually happened at my future sister in laws work (Carmax). They had an employee that wanted to test drive one of the new sports cars that was around. They gave him like 15 minutes or so, after an hour or so of it missing (and not being able to contact the person) I believe is when they called the cops to report it stolen.
The rest of the story gets into a giant jumbled mess, but regardless, how he got it and what he did with it are entirely different things.
Otherwise I'm going to borrow your car, and then just never give it back. But it's not stealing because I got it legally in the first place and had permission to.
Edit: the other person mentioning being a minor giving it to parents to loan out makes a fair point unfortunately for OP. The law likely won't favor towards OP.

So I allow someone to borrow my car and they decide to not return it. That's not theft? Wtf clown world is this if that's not considered theft

I would recommend even finding a place that isn't your house to hide them if possible.
Your parents asked you first and you agreed to help them. You don't know if they would've taken your and your grandfather's coins had you told them no.
