Playing with dolls and living with mom is no way to go thru life, son.

You are aware that some of those 'dolls' can be worth thousands of dollars and she potentially destroyed what could be an entire fortune?

[andyt]

Well, then he should have spent less on dolls, more on paying for his own place where he can stack his dolls floor to ceiling to his heart's content.

You don't understand how collectables work in this case, he would have bought them for a fairly cheap price, after ~10 years some of them can skyrocket in price to being worth thousands each. The woman may very well have thrown out an entire house worth of them.

So you actually support this dickhead? It's her house, her rules, no?

Sure, it's her house but if she weren't such an ignoramous she'd have donated them to a school, sold them on eBay, or etc.

My father was out of the same mold and when I was on vacation in 1982 he 'cleaned out' my room for me (really, he was looking for any money I had hidden so he could go gambling and drinking) and he threw away a bunch of what he called "space shit".

That included a helium-argon laser I'd been given by Dr. Hijime Seki from IBM, about a dozen ruby laser crystals already prepped with Bessemer angles and mirrored, my Altair computer, my TR-80, and etc. all told, about $25,000 (1982 dollars) worth of equipment. Frankly, when I came home from vacation and saw what that a-hole had done that was what made up my mind to join the Marines.

Were you 30 at the time? Did you burn his house down?

Ahhhh, men and their toys

I was 17 and, as I said, my solution was to leave.

Entirely reasonable, and sounds like you made out OK. This guy on the other hand...

[Brenda]

I think those 2 stories are totally not comparable. This guy was 30. HER house was stocked with HIS stuff.
I'm sure she told him plenty of times to get rid of it, or SHE would. She did. Tough luck. He's sick, needs to be admitted to a mental hospital.

Ya, he's sick, but that doesn't make his stuff her property.

It's HER house, that HE set on fire. How does her house make for HIS property?

If you act like a child, you can count on being treated like a child. I tell my kids the same thing all the time, and they know I will throw it away and won't replace it. They learned their lesson. This man is 30.

[raydan]

I'm with Brenda on this one.
If my 30 year old son stayed with me and had 300 boxes of stuff in MY house.
He'd get a warning, maybe 2 or 3...
I may not throw away or sell anything, but probably he'd come home one day to find the 300 boxes outside.
Changing the locks on the doors would be optional.
