WOT: Ghetto ass people!, .... Just need to rant! Options

[BMXerror]

Okay, so I haven't posted on here in quite a while because Verizon is d*cking around and their "High Speed" internet(which was never all that fast) has inexplicably slowed to a crawl in the past couple months. Anyways, that's not why I'm here. I just needed to bitch for a minute.
You see, last weekend was my brother's wedding. My brother and his, now, wife don't have much money (or jobs) right now, and everyone knows it. Well, at the wedding, which was in her parents back yard and actually VERY nice, there was a jar for guests to put cards in. Well, at a wedding, people often put money in these cards..... I think you can see where this is going. My mom called my brother today and asked if he had gotten the card that she and my dad had gotten for them, because she just had 'one of those feelings'. My brother said 'no'! The jar was still there with some cards in it, but not as many as he had expected by the number of guests. My parents had put $200 cash and a $300 gift card in theirs, and it was missing. My mom called Target (who the gift card was for) and they said that there was already zero balance on it! I told her to call again and talk to an actual person to see if there's any way they can trace who used the card. I doubt it, but it's worth a shot. I haven't found if the card that I put in there, with $320, made it to my brother or not, but that doesn't really matter! It almost doesn't matter that it's my brother either. I mean, how fucking ghetto can you be!?! It just pisses me off to no end that someone would do this at all! To show up at a wedding with people you know and steal from them!

Well, situation resolved! At least most of the way. So last night my mother called Target back and actually talked to somebody. Even though it was a representative in India, he was able to tell her a transaction #, store location, and exact time that the gift card was used. After that she called the store and eventually got hooked up with the store security. They were able to cross check with the security cameras to the time and the register number and see who used the card. This was all within a matter of an hour or so last night.
So this morning, my new father-in-law (a State Correctional Officer and host of the wedding) went down to the Target to ID the person. Guess who it was! It was My new sister-in-law's cousin and aunt! Apparently the cousin stole it and her mother, upon finding out, merely helped her spend it, instead of trying to return it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Also, apparently, these two weren't even invited to the wedding because the whole family can't stand them, but they just showed up anyways!
After finding out who it was, my father-in-law went over to her place and demanded that she give back everything she had taken, or else he would make sure that she landed behind bars. To this, she returned the $500 that my parents had given them.
We still have to see if there was anything else that was taken. By contacting all the other guests, but it's a big load off of everyone's mind. More importantly, my brother knows who he can't trust in his new family. Again, how low can you be? To steal from your niece and her husband at her wedding! Lordy loo!

P.S. Worked on the Porsche today for stress relief. Adjusted the clutch, greased the rear bushings, and rolled out the front drop links. She drives much nicer now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If it was me;

Regardless of what the father-in-law said, after I got back everything back, I'd still file a report with the police.

I guess I'm just spitefull.
