“I Got Home And My Car Was Gone”: Woman Deals With Robbery Charges After Brother’s GF Ends Up Calling Police

It feels weird when someone takes your stuff without asking. It’s one thing to set boundaries with strangers and coworkers, it’s an entirely different ball game when you’re dealing with, say, your partner’s family members. However, no matter how close someone is to you, they should respect you enough to know that when you tell them that they can’t borrow something, you’re being serious about it.

Redditor u/SafePurple2911 recently went viral online after sharing how she called the police on her boyfriend’s family when she realized that her car was gone. She asked members of the AITA online community whether she was in the wrong. Scroll down for the full story, as well as to see how the internet reacted to it.

Family is important, but everyone needs to learn to respect each other’s boundaries and property

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Utterly NTA. This may vary by country, but in mine it is illegal to drive without insurance, even if you have persmission to drive the car. If caught, this can lead to the car being impounded, fines, points etc. If you don't have permission to drive the car, there is an additional charge of TWOC (Taking Without Owners Consent).
