The title pretty much says it all. Last night my wife noticed her (100 count) bottle of Oxycodone was gone. She immediately jumped to the conclusion that our dirtbag neighbor, who steals pain meds from his grandfather and was in our house at least three times this week, stole them. She called him at 11:00 PM last night and after going all "Jersey" on him, he fessed up. She wanted to call the cops, I said no.
Now, we've known these people for eight years and they have been like family to us. But, this level of betrayal is unforgiveable (he stole pain meds from a cancer patient). My thinking, though, is that if we called the cops then we become the "bad guys" and I don't want to push a drug addict into some irrational act.
So here's the poll, would you have called the cops (SWMBO still wants to)?
EDIT: he's got a record already and his previous stints in jail have done nothing to "teach him a lesson."
EDIT 2: SWMBO was able to recover 55 of the 97 pills that were taken. We assume he sold the rest.
