Adding to what Craziebabie and Zoso said - I learned less than a week before his death that the young man I took into my home had stolen over $600 worth of my jewelry and pawned it during the last few months he lived with me - piece by piece.

Earlier, I had gathered my most valuable jewelry, put it in a freezer bag and hid it in my son's room, but I wasn't really diligent about keeping it there or keeping all jewelry in it as time went on because I didn't really believe he would steal from me. I mean, my God, I was providing him food, shelter, clothes, paying for car repair, medical insurance, took him on vacations with my family, and a whole host of other things ... and I wasn't even a relative. I couldn't imagine that he would sink so low that he would actually STEAL from me, biting the hand that's feeding him. Well, he did - multiple times and over the course of months.
