Very sad when family relationships break down to this degree.Some disagreement can be considered normal and worked out usually.

To attack your parents is fundementally wrong no matter what feelings are involved. To steal from anyone is really wrong too.

I have to wonder about your daughters general mental condition and age. Sometimes a total parting is unavoidable I suppose. Still a kind of really sad occurance.. Is she involved in the modern drug culture? Something like that would explain a lot. Still not justifying the behaviour though.

Is this a question of spite or money?

She is 27 years old and only cares about herself.

Difficult situation - but from a practical point of view - getting the pump back...

How many scrap yards are there in your area? Can you do a bit of CSI detective work and see if you can get the pump back? It might be easier than adapting the vacuum cleaner or whatever you had in mind...

Sorry to hear that, Robert. I know you've been dealing with it for some time.

That was my first thought as well, it might not be that hard to recover. Although if they're anything like the scrap guys up this way, they'd probably still charge you for it even after hearing your story.

Threatening to call the cops and have them charged with receiving stolen property would probably have a convincing effect.

I know that, but I have to think about the Grandkids.

Agreed, I will contact their Father and tell him not to let her have them. The wife and I are on good terms with him and understand why he divorced her.

When I got home from the shop, I found out that my daughter had stopped by our house and conned some of the last few dollars we have from my wife. I have had my fill of this ****. On a bright note, my man BobK has a pump I can use on my folder.

CLKMan, I would suggest doing eveything you can to save your grandchildren form your daughter at this point. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
