Dear Annie: Four years ago, my husband and I moved back to his hometown so we could be closer to his parents, who are getting older. We also wanted our children to know their grandparents better.
At the time, we had a lot of things in storage, including photograph albums, baby clothes, and items that belonged to my mother and were precious to me. My in-laws have a large storage unit on their property and said we were welcome to use it. My in-laws left town last week and asked us to keep an eye on their place. Yesterday, my husband and children returned from my in-laws' with a small vase and a Santa Claus that I recognized as mine. The items were blackened and charred. The kids said they had found them in Grandma and Grandpa's burn pile. I thought our things were safe, but obviously my in-laws have been burning our belongings. I cried all day, wondering what other precious items were destroyed. I don't understand how they could do such a horrible and heartless thing. I've tried to maintain a good relationship with my in-laws, even though I know they don't like me. They criticize me to my children, and until now, I have said nothing. My husband can hardly believe his parents would be so cruel, and he doesn't know how to handle it. Should I confront my in-laws? Maybe if they see this letter in your column, they will recognize themselves and I won't have to. -- Sad Daughter-in-Law Dear Daughter-in-Law: We are appalled by your in-laws' behavior and cannot think of any excuse good enough to justify such disregard. First, you need to check the remaining boxes in the storage building and see what is missing. Then, you and your husband should bring the charred Santa and vase to your in-laws' home when they return. Tell them where they were found, and ask them point-blank to explain themselves. We hope nothing else has been burned, and we trust you will remove the boxes from your in-laws' property immediately.

I would call a lawyer immediately!
 This is such a dispicible thing to do - and there is no excuse whatsoever for it! I would feel like ripping these 'people' into shreds! Unbelievable!

Ahh. reverse of the "Clip this and tell them you wrote it." Ahem…anyway… This is so appalling. I can't imagine - though, actually, I wouldn't have put it past my mother. She thought nothing of taking my things or my dad's things and getting rid of them if she didn't want them in the house any longer. Dad, smart man, installed a lock on his bedroom door (they had seperate rooms). I wish I had done the same, though I probably wouldn't have gotten away with it like him.

Well, no, I wouldn't go that far! I would definitely call the police, though! Destroying other people's property is against the law.

Having been at the mercy of individuals as rotten as this, sorry to hear about it. Like my grandmother. We come home from school, where's Happy? (our dog) She didn't want him in her house anymore, she had him put to sleep. Or her son, dear old dad, cutting all my mothers clothes in half and he did that to some of my things too.
All I can say to this woman is these people - and anyone who would badmouth you to your own children -are toxic. Stay away from them. This is the precise reason that I stopped speaking to the evil bitch who went by the title of a sister. Don't try to get along with them, don't expose your children to that poison. |

valjean,
When I read that account I was simply too MAD to do anything more than express I was mad but your account gives good credance as to why they SHOULD get these creeps out of their lives (and, especially, their children's). Now that I think about it, it seems likely they were PLANNING on destroying her belongings all along when they 'offered' to store them. I'm sorry the correspondent (and you) had to deal with creeps like that so related !:frustrated: |

Man, I wonder how much property they've managed to destroy within the last four years! This is so awful! Yeah, I would also report these rotton people to the police! I'm not the kind of person to advocate lawsuits for every little thing that goes wrong - but I'd say this is pretty major!

Right, I hear ya, AWC! I think in this case, though, a lawsuit would be appropriate. Now that you've mentioned it, though, I do tend to wonder if some people are actually afraid to sue someone in cases where it is appropriate - because of this whole craze with frivolous lawsuits! Frivolous lawsuits do piss me off, but this would not be one of those cases! I think it was a very rotton thin g to do to someone's belongings - especially belongings that really mean so much to someone. They should not be allowed to get away with it.
Keep Hipping!

No, it this case, it would not be a frivolous lawsuit! They should be made to pay for destroying her belongings!
