Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my mother-in-law sold a precious family heirloom and gambled away the money. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, my mom sold my watch collection on Vinted. I've spent over 15 years on the collection and I don't even live with my mom. I'm still wondering how she got in. FML
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, I decided I'd sell an old motorcycle I had, in order to help with the bills. I had to be at work at the time when an interested buyer was to show up, so I entrusted my mother with the exchange as she's unemployed. Mom pocketed the money and bought a new freezer for her house, and won't pay me back. FML
Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. FML
Today, I discovered that the ancient looking coin I dug up in my front yard is worth hundreds of dollars. Too bad I found that coin when I was eight years-old, and have since misplaced it. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML

Report the coins stolen. Pawn shop will have to surrender them and maybe you can avoid pressing charges

I own a pawnshop they aren't shady. You have to get everything police background checked every week and we have to hold anything we buy for fifteen days to make sure it's not stolen. All of our customers are awesome and we have good relationships with them.

Go to the pawn shop and get them back! They keep them there for a while before they sell them incase theyre stolen!

I'd steal her tv, take it upstairs, wait till she got home and throw it out of the window right when she looks. Or just destroy it while she is looking at it. And get ya coins back, theyre stolen :)

Report coins stolen. Get them back. Send your mom's ass to jail for theft. Start a small business.
