“It was your mother in-law, Madam. She stole the spare key to the RV. Your mother found out and they started arguing… Your mother in-law refused to return the key and cursed at you. Your mother was so angry that she threatened to call the police, so your mother in-law pushed her…”
Before Nancy could finish her sentences, Rebecca frantically defended herself. “I didn’t mean to do it! Besides, the RV was bought with joint property! What’s wrong with me giving it to my youngest son to drive?”
I was completely furious when I heard her explanation. My mother herself was reluctant to take the RV on a long trip right away, saying she needed to get used to it first.
The spare key was in the safe in my study and only my mother and I knew the combination! Being able to get the keys without setting off the alarm means they’d been keeping an eye on them for a long time. This was clearly theft!
I hugged my trembling mother, unable to contain myself any longer and said, “Nancy, call the police! This is a theft worth over 140,000 dollars. It’s enough to file a case!”
