    Font - Recently, we've gotten into an argument over me not taking care of our two cats. Thing is, i spend almost all day working, and the rest of it resting. So, what did she do? She got the pickup truck, went to a junkyard, and sold it! Worst part? She sold it for 400 dollars. Keep in mind, this truck was in PRISTINE condition.

    Font - When i got back home from the bar, i noticed the pickup wasnt there. I asked her, and she told me what she did. I instantly packed up my things, my cat, told her we were done and left. I've been getting calls from her, her family and friends everyday calling me names. Am i in the wrong?

    Font - Relevant Comments: The argument: "First time we had an argument over chores. Last argument we had was about her disappearing on me for 9 hours without any previous notice, that was about a month ago."

    Font - Update (Same Post): May 15 (Next Day) (date recovered with Web Archive) Update 1: Thanks for all the advice and support! Two things: I have talked to my lawyer cousin. He said i could have a solid case if this goes to court, but honestly, after all the i've been through i want my pickup back and some more for what happened. I doubt the police is going to do anything after a couple of bad experiences i've had with them. My ex came knocking on my door, i ignored her, dont want anything to d

    Font - Update 2 (Same Post): Between May 15-16 Thanks for the advice again! I have now filed a police report for the stolen F100. I have hope it can be done! I am also doing my own bit of research, driving to a couple nearby junkyards, but i doubt i'll find it on my own. I hope we can find the Old Green F100 we love so much.

    Font - Update 4 (Same Post): May 15-16, 2023 So, people have been asking these things, so i feel like i should clarify. 1 - Its not like i took no care of the cats at all, i did. She doesn't work. I put the bread in the table, she gets the house chores done. Thats how we managed it, which is why i feel like this was petty.

    Font - 2 - I went to a bar to hang out with a friend i had not seen in 5 years. I dont drink heavily or often. 3- The signature was forged by my girlfriend, from what i know at the moment, or the junkyard guy just took it because it was a 9.6k profit. The junkyard opens at 12:30am today, and since its currently 5:00am here, i'm still gonna have to wait for a while, as you might be able to tell, today was quite a crazy day. Haven't gotten one minute of sleep.

    Font - Update Post: May 15, 2023 So, i have the F100 back. Over a day of no-sleep, work and panic.. and its finally over. She's been charged with a Class 1 Felony for stealing a car worth more than $10,000. She's been fined $5,000. Finally back from the garage with the truck... I'm so tired. I'll take a nap now. I'll update you guys more throughly tomorrow. I dont feel like explaining every detail right now.. Its 19:09pm and i'm really tired of this f Edit: Also, feel free to AMA.. I'll try to a

    Font - Update 5 (Same as OG Post): May 16, 2023 (2 days from OG Post) I have the truck back! The F100 is actually back, i did have to pay the $400 back though, and its not as good as it was before.. Its really dirty (probably from driving to the junkyard, which is pretty dirty) and the bodywork that was once pristine is now damaged.. Has a huge scratch on the paint. It was a really sharp key or something, because the bodywork is now ruined. It has started flash rusting, which is really not good.

    Font - starry-skies- I genuinely don't understand the thought process if the ex? Like did she think he wasn't going to go back for the car? And all of this over cats when he provided everything? Why ruin your life over something that dumb, instead of 10 hr. ago . 46.9k just having a conversation Reply Share

    Font - AdhesivenessLimp1864. 10 hr. ago I don't think the end result mattered. This read like her just punishing him to be as hurtful as possible assuming all of the context was given. 3.4k Reply Share

    Font - Time_Act_3685 - 10 hr. ago · edited 9 hr. ago Do you get charged and fined for a felony in a single day? Can...can they do that? ETA: Meant "convicted," not charged. But even that was a pretty speedy turn for the ol' wheels of justice. 1.4k Reply Share

If this is true, the gf is still a trash person for selling the car. But after seeing the word 'breadwinner' so often, it made me pause as to why OOP was so hung up on that. 135 Reply Share

    Font - leftytrash161 10 hr. ago. edited 9 hr. ago Some people are getting hung up on the wrong part of this: the cats. At the end of the day, whatever he did or did not do to help with their care is immaterial, because his girlfriend went ahead and STOLE HIS CAR! The cats are no longer relevant because she took a simple situation that could have been resolved civilly, and she committed a f felony over it. This kind of escalation is like setting off a d nuke after someone throws a pebble at you.
