What can I do about her?

My sister keeps coming in my room, (which I have really big issues about, I hate people going into my personal space) she keeps stealing from me, taking my new stuff and my clothes and shoes, accessories etc. And she is constantly taking money from me. This is beginning to really piss me off. And everytime I report this to my mum and dad they say its my own fault for leaving the stuff lying around, I wouldnt call my room leaving it lying around. I now hide my stuff, but she still seems to find it. I have asked for a lock for my door and for them to make sure she stays away when im not around, and yet I dont think they’ve done anything about it because she is still coming in and taking stuff. I dont know what else to do, it is getting really annoying and I am sick of it, I just want my own private space where I know im not going to be robbed every time I turn my back. She even comes in my room while im sleeping and takes stuff. Please help me on this, the last and only thing I cn think of doing is complaining to the police…which is something I don’t intend on doing.

Answer #1

your parents need to do something about this try to get hem to think about it tell them if they put there watch/wedding ring/wallet ect on there bedside table and somone stole it. (could even be your sister) then what? is it their fault for just leaving it lying around? no, its in their room, if someone else comes in that room and steals from them, the person who steals it is at fault not the person who put it in a place that belongs to them your not at fault its YOUR room and in YOUR room you can put things werever you want your sister stole from you SHE is at fault its your property even if you just left your money on the kitchen table, its still YOURS something needs to be done about it I would say, buy a lock or your door there not much money, you can get a good set of lockable doorknobs for $20 that way you can lock it when your not home so she cant steal from it (because youll have the key) if your parents say no, really, screw them you need a lock if there not going to do anything about your sister stealing from you you could also go about leaving a webcam or video camera on so you could see when she comes in your room and what she takes show it to your parents or use it against her t get your stuff back or if you need to, show it to the police

Answer #2

I’ll Comment you more about this cause what I have to say may get removed

Answer #3

all you do is not be soft but have a non yellingtalk with her about that she isnt allowed unless you are there and she asks and you say ok. even tell her what she did was kind of a crime. especially stealing money. maybe it would be ok if it was like a dollar but if now you have issues with money then thats a crime. stealing shouldnt be allowed even if she is your sister

Answer #4

being soft is the last thing on my mind, the thing is she spends all her money, and then takes mine, thats why she does it, and I have hidden my stuff so many times before and she still finds it somehow I just cnt take her anymore

Answer #5

im not treated the same way either my lil bro is so much better I guess tell your sister that your tired of it raid her room and throw all her crap outside and I mean EVERYTHING that includes the bed and dresser and all that and every time she steals from you do that and shes bound to get tired of putting her stuff back in her room so much

Answer #6

lol that probs would work but it wud get me in heaps of trouble and I cudnt possibly do that lol I’ve told her millions of times and it doesnt work…the last and only option I have it move out…but I cnt I have no where to go

Answer #7

yeh thanks, I’ve tried most things that I can do, and infact she has actually taking my mums engagement ring before, but she said it was me so I was the one who got the blame for that, like everything else she does, im not treated the same way as she is in this house, because im older im the one who gets held responsible for everything.

Answer #8

hummm Have you thought about buying a safe or a bolt lock for your drawers and closet,that way when your not there your stuff is locked up so NOBODY can get in but you,I’m trying to do that for my room cause my mom takes stuff from my room she has no business taking.

Answer #9

well I have actually done that as well, and it only gets worse because everytime something of hers is taken, she takes soemthing even more valuable of mine, and its gettin too much to handle I cnt put up with it

Answer #10

yeh I was thinking that earlier but im having money issues atm because she keeps taking my money and I know my parents wont buy me one, because they’re stingy.

Answer #11

This may sound horrible but my sister is 41 years old and just last year she stopped stealing from us. My father and mother thought I was the one stealing. So me and my father took a 20 dollar bill and put itching powder on it, he really needed to know it was her. Low and behold after she took the money out of the cabinet she started itching her hands, face, and leg like crazy. (We sprinkled a lot inside the bill before we folded it.) She kept saying she must have some sort of rash from what she ate for dinner. And I said it looks like she ate the 20 bucks in the cabinet that had itching powder on it. My sister was embarrassed in front of the whole family. She has not stole anything sense.

Answer #12

I share a room with my sister, though we don’t do that to eachother. My only solution would be hide all your valuable things under your mattress with your door closed so she can’t see where your hiding it. That’s a good hiding place, she’d never think there! But do what she doing to you, steal her money and things. She’ll also soon get sick of it and probably start shouting at you so say treat others how you want to be treated. She’ll soon realise she doesn’t want to be stole from and if she doesn’t want to be stole from why would anyone else? Andf hopefully she’ll start treating you the same way as she wants to be treated. If not, keep on stealing from her and go into her room and get your things back. DON’T BE SOFT, it will get you nowhere.

Answer #13

I went through that when I was 15,the only way I stopped my former sister from taking my stuff was by threatening her,she didn’t take it seriously so basically every time she took something from me,something valuable of hers disappeared and I told her I didn’t know where it went,so when she gave me my stuff back,I quietly put her stuff back and told her “Every time one of my belongings disappears,so does something of yours.”

If your parents don’t like how your operating,tell them you have officially taken it into your own hands.
