Meh. We left my sister in law in charge of our house for a week a few years back.

Heater fire

Dogs left untented fought and that led to several 100 in vet bills. One of the dogs heads was the size of a basketball it was so infected.

Mess from said dogs everywhere.

Bottle caps all through my house and my yard waste barrel full of liqour and beer bottles.

My kids pet rabbit had been set loose in the house and ate several houseplants. It died the day we got home. It also left quite a mess.

MY sony wega was quite dead. It was a 1500 dollar tv at the time.

She was told not to use my computer but there was someones, not hers , letterhead in my printer.

My neighbor said she had to close my front door after seeing it open when she got home form work and it was still open the next morning so god knows how long it was open for. The moisture killed 2 computer monitors, prolly the TV as well.

A dead aquarium grade fish. She said she thought it was normal for a fish to float upside down.

Thats all I can remember right now. Im sure if I thought about it I could remember more.

Theres prolly a 5 or 6 year old post here about it 🙂

That being said it sucks when someone disrespects your home but be thankful your pet is okay.

Edit. We had to replace our couch loveseat and carpets

edit again. Wifey says the guinea pig was dead

wow thats horrible. what did you do about this? how old is your sister in law?

I raged. She was 18 maybe. Like a week later we were having a family dinner and of course she didnt come. My mother in law starts telling me its family and we cant hold grudges. I was like " I CAN BE MAD FOR MORE THAN A WEEK!!!!" I was pissed at her for years. Now shes grown into a responsible adult I finally let it go.

I dunno what you can do. You can't punish that girl for any of what she did. Just use someone you trust next time, or leave your house alone and get some automatic lights to make it seem like someone is home?Or improve your security so no one can break in. And then drop the dog ofof with a friend or a dog sitter.

Def. confusing me with someone else.

There's no way of improving the security of our house really, it's almost entirely glass heh.

No, I'm pretty sure you're gay. Ryan.

When'd that happen? I just thought nobody liked him because he thought he was better than everyone else.

Theres a huge difference between remembering and being angry at someone. I mean, at least the house was still standing right?
