Okay fellow LiveLeakers, I would like to have your input on a personal matter.

Please keep your comments to the subject at hand.


29June, the wife and I went on a rather long road trip, we returned home 7July to find that our house had been broken into. Money and a handgun had been stolen, by my stepsons ex-girlfriend, they went their separate ways over a year ago. Yet over the year she continued to harass him and cause all sorts of issues.

As if breaking into my house and stealing from me wasn't bad enough, she was ignorant enough to send me and my wife texts saying that she had done so and pretty much bragged about it on FaceBook.

We called the Sheriffs Department and filed a report, and provided print outs of the texts and FaceBook comments on 8July.

Slam dunk case, a crime, an admission of guilt, right....nope, so very wrong.

I got curious as to why she continued to harass my wife and I on FB and Via texts, so on 11July I called the Sheriffs Dept to ask why she hadn't been arrested yet. I was told 1st, the deputy that took the report only works on Saturdays and Sundays and was not available to answer my questions and 2nd, the report had been sent to the Prosecuting Attorneys office.

Fine, so after I was done talking to the Sheriffs Dept, I called the PA......and was told that they had not yet recieved the report from the Sheriffs Dept.

This exchange went on for another 3 days.

23July, I called the PA's office again to ask if they had ever recieved the report from the Sheriffs Dept. and was told that yes, they had recieved the report, but the PA had elected to not file or pursue any charges against her, even with an admission of guilt.

Wanting to know why the PA had decided not to pursue the case, I asked to speak to him directly and was told by the PA's lead investigator the the PA was "out of town and would not be back in his office until next week.

So here it is, I've no idea what to do now, the PA sent a clear message that breaking and entering (a class C Felony in this area) and theft of money and or goods exceeding 500 dollars (a class A felony in this area) is no big deal, and they are not going to prosecute.


At this point, I'm open for suggestions.
