Today, it's the last night before a concert. Today is also the day my brother pawned my clarinet for drug money. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my little brother got a violin. FML
Today, the drummer from my band stole the $200 deposit for our rental practice space and used it for a trip down to Maryland with his girlfriend. A few hours ago, my brother and I found him passed out in his cousin's house, very hungover. His first words to us were, "Can I borrow 20 bucks?" FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, I was supposed to perform my first concert in front of a crowded audience. As we were about to go on stage, my band decided to roll a joint outside. The cops just happened to pass by, and now I'm on my own. FML
Today, I was short on money for bills, so I pulled out my alto saxophone, knowing that no matter how much I loved it, I'd be able pay my rent with the money. As I pulled it out of its case, the neck strap broke and I dropped it, breaking the bell beyond repair. Now I'm poor AND depressed. FML
Today, I remembered that the concert I bought tickets for over a month in advance was yesterday. FML
Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML
Today, my brother finally paid me the $60 he owed me. I later found out that he'd stolen those $60 from my wallet. FML
Today, my younger brother brought home his new bagpipes. My older brother plays the drums. I'm currently preparing to sit the most important exams of my schooling life. FML
Today, my little brother watched an old video of The Who, who are know for smashing up their guitars and such. He decided it would be cool to try it with mine. That guitar was worth over $3000. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel you OP. My brother has had drug problems for years did steal things from me. My cousin claims he stole things from her as well. Ask your parents for an actual lock on your door, not one of those shitty ones that can be picked with a coin. Make sure your things are locked up anytime you leave the house. They won't ever get better until they want to.

If someone touched my Clarinet, I would smash their face.

I am sorry, but I don't understand how you, if you propose, don't know the answer actually beforehand... You guys don't talk or what? You have to know you SO's opinion on this thing already (doesn't have to be that you asked before, just that you guys talked about important things, like life, plans for future, maybe children and whatnot), because if you didn't, then there is probably some problem in communication in your relationship that you should work on, or your relationship is just not ready for this kind of things yet.

Honestly he really does. That's your family, probably the only people who still talk to you besides your druggy friends, and you steal from them? Today we had someone came into school and talk about his spiral down to drug and alcohol abuse and he said he would steal things even if he didn't want to. He said he would cry while stealing things but he had to. He's better now, and it sounds like OP should get her brother some help. He doesn't want to go that far down the hill.

That's not legal. He can't sell something that doesn't belong to him. Go to the pawn shop and get your property back -- they can't possibly refuse to give it to you, every pawn shop in the country knows the meaning of the phrase "receiving stolen property".
