the
thing is that nothing was worth much individually, but when you add up
75 or 100 things worth less than $20 (even if a lot of it is only worth
$2-3), it gets expensive quickly. some of the things i can't find (like a
pizza cutter) aren't really even important. other things (like the
coffee maker) sort of are. i can't afford to just go to the store and
repurchase everything.
i guess i'll just have to accept
that some things are lost. it's disappointing, but what can i do. i
wish you would have asked before you threw things out, though. i could
have washed the mold off those things, especially the shirts.
...and
i'm certainly missing a mandolin and a 12-string. the 12-string was
around until fairly recently, actually. dad and i were talking about
taking it to folklore not much more than a few months ago. in fact, the
topic came up the week before i left, although i don't know if it was
still there by then or not.
unfortunately, i do think
she would take the instruments. i also think she would take other things
like the chess set. unfortunately, i think she would lie about it
afterwards, too.
maybe i should point out that i don't
have any interest in maintaining a relationship with my sister, either. i
feel she's been very dishonest with me over many years. trust is very
important to me, and it's been irrevocably broken. i have to expect that
she will continue to lie to me, to steal things from me and to
manipulate situations in ways that are not in my interests. all of the
evidence i have to rely on points in this direction. this type of person
is not somebody that i want to stay in contact with.
i
actually have a list of over 100 items that i believe she stole out of
the garage or the basement at some point. i don't think asking her about
it further is productive because i expect her to lie about it. she
already has lied about it.
that being said, i don't
want to make any false accusations. i don't want to accuse her of
stealing things that you discarded, for whatever reason. so, if it's
possible to think back and try and create as substantial a list as is
possible then that would be beneficial to both her and i in resolving
this.
again, i apologize for having to do this, but i
feel i am out of options. i think this should be last that you hear from
me. so, good luck.
