  • A couple of them.

    One, I met when we were both five years old, and I knew then he would end up in prison. He helped beat someone to death when he was 19 and went to prison.

    Another I met when I was a child and he was an adult. I knew he wasn’t quite right, but I had no idea how bad it was. As a teenager, I had an encounter with him that almost turned violent. He later raped both his daughters and went to prison.





  • It was stressful. I was pretty young and pretty broke.

    A gas station attendant didn’t return it when I made a purchase, and I was distracted so I didn’t notice. He then put gas in his own car at his own gas station using it. I came back the next day with a cop, and he confessed. The cop called his boss and he got fired. I got a report to give to the bank.

    At the time, I was a little annoyed the cop didn’t arrest him, but he was probably as broke as I was and significantly dumber to commit such a stupid crime.






  • I don’t think you’re being taken advantage of financially. I imagine you’ve spent less money than any option for three weeks of sleeping accommodations in Switzerland aside from living with your parents, for example.

    I do think there’s a significant chance there’s a mismatch in expectations though. If you intend this to be short-term, it would be cruel to let her think something else. As others have mentioned, there’s a risk she’s trying to get pregnant to incentivize you to stay or financially support her; you don’t know her well enough to say she wouldn’t do that.

    As long as you have both of those concerns addressed, it sounds like a good time for all involved.








  • Not in most states, and some of those that do are unlikely to charge the owner in practice.

    I’m going to guess a majority of people wouldn’t file an insurance claim. It would only make sense if

    • They have insurance covering theft of property from inside a car, which is far from universal
    • The deductible is substantially less than the value of the gun
    • The insurance company isn’t likely to raise their premium as a result
