No one is prepared to tolerate a thief, and this guy's nephew stole himself a ticket to 40K extra in college debt when he decided to abuse his uncle's trust. It doesn't seem like too good of an investment. People deal with thieves in professional settings too, like this lunch thief that got outed by a coworker's revenge or this employee who got a raise for catching a stealing manager. For some sneakiness that lies in the realm of the absurd, here are cons people pulled off through complete confidence.

    Font - Posted by u/bigggthrowaway38 21 hours ago O 62 13 AITA for refusing to pay for nephews schooling after he stole from me? Not the A-hole My nephew doesn't know that I have some money saved away for his schooling. Not a ton about 40k. It's not a college fund just some mutual funds I have. My brother and I agreed not to tell him until he graduated college because we wanted him to work hard and get scholarships rather than rely on the money. I don't have any children of my own so this is my w

    Font - Well until he started stealing from me. This summer he comes back home and stays with me occasionally to be closer to work. He would steal from my wallet whenever he came over and steal 20-$40 dollars. At first I didn't notice but then I withdraw exactly $200 and the next day after he came over $40 went missing. Some of my jewelry also went missing and I realized what might be happening so I installed a hidden camera off Amazon and saw him stealing from my wallet.

    Font - I contacted my brother and let him know what was going on and that I'm no longer paying anything towards his loans. My brother is furious with his son and at first he tried to deny it until I sent them the recording and he admitted he needed money. I'm pissed at my brother because he revealed I was planning to give 40k to him and am no longer doing so due to the stealing. He begged, sent flowers, asked grandma (my mom) to ask me for my forgiveness. I'm firm and tell him no. AITA for not g

    Font - loudent2 · 20h 2 & 2 2 e & 2 More Asshle Enthusiast [9] NTA - Here's what I'm sure happened. Your brother confronted your nephew about the stealing and demanded he make it up to you. The nephew couldn't care less and think what he did was fine. At that point, your brother probably brought up the money you had saved up and the nephew realized he was screwing himself out of 40k so then he suddenly wanted to make it up to you. He wants the money, he is not genuinely remorseful. Think of it a

    Rectangle - theDagman - 20h Asshe Enthusiast [7] NTA He's only sorry that he got caught. He's not sorry for betraying your trust. Keep the money, put it towards your retirement.

If your nephew was stealing from you, who wasn't he cheating in his life? Losing out on the money is a tough lesson for him to learn, but a lot easier than jail, which is where he was headed.

    Font - Knitsanity · 20h Asshole Aficionado [14] NTA. Your money your decision. Did he steal from him Dad as well? If you want to do something good with that money I would locate 4 worthy kids from your local town or city and give them the money towards their loans.

    Font - Novel_Ad_7318 · 20h Asshole Enthusiast [9] NTA - he is 21 years old according to a reply and seems to be only sorry now that he got caught and realized how severe the consequences are. 40k are A LOT of money, especially at that age and he openly disrespected you in such a way. This is terrible. If he needed money for something important, food, medicine, etc. - he should have asked, not stolen it. And apparently, he has done so repeatedly. Hell no.

    Font - ComprehensiveBand586 · 20h Asshole Enthusiast [6] NTA. It's interesting how in all his "apologies", he doesn't seem to have offered to return your jewelry (which he probably pawned) or repaid you the money. Don't give him a cent.

    Font - Mela726 · 20h NTA. it's your money. Use it how you want. You never promised him anything and if your brother didn't tell him, he would have never known. Your nephew didn't even try asking for the money before resorting to stealing. That says a lot about his character. So does his lack of remorse until he realized what he lost out on. Don't give him anything.

    Font - hey-demons-its-me-ya - 20h Asshole Enthusiast [8] NTA and he should be thankful you aren't pressing charges. He's very obviously only "apologizing" to get the money, he's not sorry. If he truly was so desperate for money, why didn't he just ask? It's not like it's embarrassing to be broke in college.

    Human body - PRM2020 - 20h NTA - a thief that steals from his own family is the lowest of the low. He does not deserve your hard- earned money.
