A man discovers his neighbor has stolen his wallet and used his credit card to buy beer, but when he confronts the thief, the situation takes a bizarre turn as the thief’s wife pleads with him not to press charges and offers to make him “VERY happy”. Here is what he had to say:
A Terrifying Discovery
John, a middle-aged man, had just woken up from a nap when he heard a noise downstairs. He assumed it was his wife or kids, but when he went downstairs, he was horrified to find his neighbor walking out of his front door. The man was clearly drunk, and John could smell the alcohol on his breath. He recognized him as his neighbor, who lived in a townhouse complex right across from them.
He Confronted The Neighbor
John confronted the man, who apologized profusely and said he had made a mistake. He claimed that he was drunk, but it was only 4 pm in the afternoon. John found the situation bizarre but decided to let it go. However, he was still shaken by the incident and decided to file a police report.
Did He Steal the Card?!
The police questioned the neighbor, and his story seemed believable, so they let him go. John assumed that it was over, but he was wrong. He checked his phone and saw auto messages about recent charges on his credit card. Someone had used his credit card to purchase several beers at a convenience store near his house while he was sleeping.
He Confessed!
John was shocked and angry. He called the police again, and they were able to get a copy of the store’s security footage a couple of days later. To his surprise, it was his neighbor who had used his credit card to buy the beer. The police arrested him the next morning, and he confessed to taking John’s wallet from his house, using his credit card, and then returning it back to his house. He didn’t even take the cash in the wallet.
He Kept Getting Angry!
The whole thing was so bizarre that John would have laughed about it if it wasn’t so serious. He thought about what could have happened if his wife and kids were home, and he got angry all over again. He wondered why his neighbor had done it. They were both in a gated community, and the neighbor had money, so it wasn’t like he needed to steal from John.
His Wife Begged Him
John received a letter from his neighbor’s wife, begging him not to press charges. She explained that her husband was a drunk and was “getting help.” Part of John felt sorry for her, but the other part of him was angry. He wondered if he should press charges and sue them into oblivion, forcing them to move at the very least.
John decided to meet with the neighbor’s wife to hear her side of the story. He arranged to meet her in a coffee shop, and he recorded the conversation just in case. The wife apologized profusely and told John that her husband had been a drunk for years and used to love drinking and gambling until he spent all of their savings a couple of years ago on bad bets.
He Couldn’t Drop the Charges
The wife then asked John if he could please drop the charges, etc. John let her know that it didn’t matter if he dropped the charges now. They had video evidence of the crime, his fake statements, and the credit card company was now involved. They had a rather long list of crimes, and they didn’t really need John to move forward.
She Did WHAT?!
The wife then started crying, and John sat there for a very uncomfortable 5 minutes or so wondering if he should leave. She then rather suddenly snapped out of it and said, “look, I’m sure we can work something out. I’ve noticed you many times around my place, so maybe this is just me justifying my actions, but I can make you VERY happy,” while grabbing John’s hand and caressing it. She then suggested that John tell the police he made a mistake and that he actually let her husband use his card and just forgot.
So Inappropriate
John was taken aback by the wife’s sudden change in demeanor and her inappropriate behavior. He slowly pulled his hand away and said, “sorry, but I don’t think so. I should tell the police I lied and also to the credit card company? Pretty sure I would be joining your husband in jail.”
She’s Going to Set Him Up
The wife’s face became cold and hard-looking, and she said, “Fine. I can easily turn this around, you know. Who do you think will believe you when I tell the police you tried to rape me? I know when you’re home alone. All I have to do is pick a time when you don’t have an alibi. Do you really want to do this?”
“See You in Court!”
John was now furious. He had come to hear her side of the story, and she had just threatened him with a false accusation. He said, “Right… ok, well, just to let you know, I have recorded this entire conversation, so good luck with that. See you in court.” He then walked out of the coffee shop to her screaming obscenities and threats, with the whole coffee shop staring at her.
The Internet Responded
This shocked commenter wrote, “You are laying boundaries and holding your neighbor accountable. This is absolutely unacceptable and addiction isn’t an excuse for his actions. He can be getting help AND still be held accountable. Arguably, the act of getting help demands that he is held accountable. You did the right thing.”
A Second Shocked Comment
Another person commented, “He knew what he was doing, and now he needs to face the consequences of his actions. Hire a lawyer to sue him for the cost of new replacement locks for your doors, along with security cameras and a ring doorbell as well as recouping the cost of money that he spent on booze.”
