Grandson comes in and sells 7 grand worth of Grandmas heirloom Jewelry and all seems legit and even
presents DL# and everything..........3 weeks later Grandma files burglary report and its sent out to all
gold buyers and Buyer see's picts and knows he has the stuff, and doing the right thing alerts police and
handles the situation legally with all transaction info, grandma wants to make good BUT does not want to
press any charges against grandson...stating that she has no recollection of giving any authority to him
for said sale BUT is not SURE.......but willing to make good 7 grand to buyer.............whom is now out 7
grand for 3 weeks..................Thoughts please

    Don't think it is up to Grandma to file charges or not. Did she not report a burglary?

    Call the DA....press for charges. Either grandson stole or grandma is filing false report (insurance fraud??).


    Seems harsh, but this is the only way this will end.

    Sounds like a juicy nightmare. Personally, if I could recover what was originally paid out, I would count my blessings and move on. God, karma, or whatever a person believes in usually has a way of working the rest out in due time.

    If grandma is willing to pay the amount of money paid out, in leu of filing a police report, then let her do it, and chalk it out as you lucked out, because had she filed charges at least here in NC you would have been out 7k period as they would have confiscated it.

    Had same thing happen here a few years ago , much smaller amount. Guy sells his moms stuff with out her permission, she calls back a few days later and wants to come pick it up. I told her that's fine , as long as she re-pays the amount paid out, she said because it was stolen, she has the right to come get it. I told her that I was only turning it over to the police with a full report filed. She paid and picked it up as she didn't want to file charges.

    If grandma did not give him permission and doesn't press charges then grandma may get to attend her grandsons funeral in a few years .

    If Grandma wants to save his life she should press charges .

    Kid stole from grandma or he stole from you. Time to pay the piper.

    You'll be glad when this is over. Grandma isn't so lucky.
