Gone forever

Today, my nice, elderly neighbour died suddenly and I was helping his family sort through his things. I realised a lot of his stuff was familiar. In fact it was a lot of stuff I’d lost over the years, including the year I moved in. The bastard had been stealing things from my house for 9 years. FML

You shouldn't call him a bastard. There was something clearly wrong with him. If he was selling your stuff off to support a Viagra habit so he could bone your mom, that would be a bastard. Hoarding your stuff means he had some kind of weird attachment to you.

He had been stealing from her since the day she moved in, over nine years. I think bastard is a fairly light term for this unless there is some revelation of other mental health issues. We can't just assume he had them because he did weird stuff. He may have, and that may explain it, but telling OP not to assume he didn't is the same as me telling you not to assume he did. Neither of us know.

On the iPhone app, it appears that the OP is male. In either case, the old dude's hoarding is weird.

How did he get into your house to steal things in the first place? And how was it not fixed in NINE years?!
