Re: What to Sue for in the Instance of Theft
Yes. I'm not saying I don't understand why you're upset - I do. But the law doesn't provide for vindictiveness, and that's what I'm seeing from you.
You have yet, btw, to adequately explain why she would admit to the monetary thefts but deny the theft of the cannon. What would be the point of that? Again, I understand why you're making the connection, but do you have any PROOF that she's responsible?
Re: What to Sue for in the Instance of Theft
Nope, no proof about the cannon either way.. She also denied stealing anything else.. The only thing she copped to was what we had proof of in front of her.. But during the time it went missing she would have been the only person in our house.. I think shes not trying to incriminate herself anymore than she already has.. I'm not vindictive... Maybe I'm expressing my self wrong.. Is it vindictive to want to see a criminal punished for a crime they committed? I don't think so... I believe it to be justice.. That's exactly what I want here.. I want to find out what makes things equal again between us and her.. I don't believe that paying me back for 2600 bucks is equal for what has happened here..
Re: What to Sue for in the Instance of Theft
It may, however, be all you get. It's not up to you what "punishment" she gets. That's up to the courts, and the courts are not about equality.
Re: What to Sue for in the Instance of Theft
So what does a young lady know about a cannon? I would say nothing. Ether her boyfriend was over the house, noticed the cannon and thought it would be a great item to have for himself, or someone else actually stole your cannon.
Question your children to find out if she ever had a friend over the house while you and your wife was away. If so, find out who it was and pay him a visit and tell him that his girlfriend had told you that he has the cannon. Even thou she never stated that he had the cannon, just maybe he will breakdown and tell the truth if he believes that she told on him.
Re: What to Sue for in the Instance of Theft
So another question.. Since my wife and myself are joint account holders on the account she took from us, does her name need to be listed as plantiff in the small claims suit, or can I sue alone or have a power of attorney to sue on her behalf. What's the best way.. Given that we might not get paid I don't want her to take off work if she doesn't have to.
