Taking something that doesn't belong to you without permission is considered stealing. When we think of "stealing," we frequently picture burglars storming into our houses or shoplifters attempting to carry expensive items out of a store.

We imagine career criminals or thieves who steal for dishonest financial gain. A person may steal for a variety of different reasons in addition to kleptomania.

Due to their inability to make ends meet, some people steal. Some people steal just for the rush, while others do it to make up for a physical or emotional gap in their lives. 

Jealousy, low self-esteem, or peer pressure are all potential motivators for stealing. Stealing can also be a result of social concerns, like feeling alienated or unappreciated.

It's possible for someone to steal to express their independence, to rebel against their family or friends, or simply because they don't value themselves or other people. In today's story, the OP's mom and brother stole from her despite her covering 90% of the bills.

She left $300 in an envelope, hoping she could just eventually go to the bank and deposit it into her account. The OP's dog had a vet emergency, and her main card wasn’t available since it expired and her bank was sending her a new one.

She arrived only to discover that there was only $50 remaining in the envelope. 

So now, the OP went to the AITA subreddit community to ask...

The OP eventually went with her mom and paid for it with her card and asked for the $300 back

The OP didn’t worry about it a lot since she still had the previous $300 saved

The OP talked to them and her mom admitted to grabbing only $25 dollars

The OP covers 90% of their bills yet they still went above and beyond to steal from her

The OP doesn't know if she should let go as she's not sure if she's overreacting

Let's head into the comments and find out what other redditors thought about the story

The OP is not the AH for asking for her money back

This Redditor would take it as a perfect opportunity to cut them off

They do not see an issue with going into the OP's belongings without permission

The OP ought to know that she needs to stop giving money

The OP says it's not really a thing moving out young where she's from

The OP is just going to be drained every single time

From the story, one can already tell that the OP is being taken advantage of. It's downright evil to steal from someone who takes care of 90% of the house bills.

Redditors advised the OP to learn how to say NO, and we totally agree. She was declared not the AH, and you can drop your thoughts about this story in the comments below.
