Today, it's the last night before a concert. Today is also the day my brother pawned my clarinet for drug money. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 do feel bad for them too though. As 57 mentioned, they don't want to do what they do and many of them have tried rehab several times and it hasn't worked for them. So it's not just as easy as "getting help" or going to rehab. I think it would be incredibly hard to crave something so badly that you would sell other people's stuff and probably your own soul. I take narcotics for chronic pain and I absolutely hate how I'm physically dependant on them and hate knowing that if I were to stop that my entire body would react and go through withdrawals even though I don't get high or enjoy taking the medication. It's horrible to be dependant on anything or anyone.

The way you set that up really had me expecting a different story. Nice plot twist.

Tie him down grab some spare reeds, break them, and stick them under his fingernails. Or don't, which probably be the more intelligent decision

If someone takes drugs recreationally I don't have any sympathy personally. They don't deserve it since they got themselves into the problem on the first place. Prescribed drugs are different if you actually need them.

All you can do is report it stolen an and let your brother take responsibility for his actions. I hate to say that but if he's that addicted you have to do it.
