So yeah, heres a little back story. Before moving to cali. I let my cousin borrow my car. He was having a kid and they only had one car so I said he can borrow mine until I get back so he has something until he can get his own car. And ill just get it when I get home.

Ive been back from cali/vegas for like 3 weeks now or so. I just found out today, from my brother, that my cousin told him last night he scrapped my car. As in, sold it to a fucking junkyard for $250. I havent gotten the full story about this since he refuses to to answer my calls or texts and the only thing he said, via one text, was the his dad did it cause the engine seized when he tried to move it (which i highly doubt since the engine has zero problems).

Im fucking pissed. What makes it worse, is that I went to AC today and hopped in a tourney. I sit at my table and my cousin was sitting across from me (this was before I found out). He was acting kinda weird but whatever. On one of the breaks I asked him about the money he owes me. Its only $100, but during the week back in between vegas trips I gave him $100 to put him in a tourney and that fucker never played it. Anyway, next thing I know, he must have busted and didnt say bye to me or my brother. About an hour later my brother mentioned him scrapping my car.

The only thing i can think of is that he has some sort of drug problem that I dont know about. I mean, who does that type of shit besides crackheads? Never had a problem with him in the past but I dont know how to go about this.

Its my cousin FFS. I cant just beat him up every time I see him. That solves nothing. Im just fucking steaming mad and I have no idea how the hell I am supposed to approach this.

P.S. The car was nothing great. Just an '01 Infiniti i30. Probably worth like $3K or some shit, idk. I was only going to use it until I got back to work and bought a new car, but now im pretty much screwed with that. Sigh.

nothing can be done. lesson learned

i'd confront him and get the story. doubt you're getting your money back though.

Link him to the grindier thread and tell him honey badger don't give a fuck

Stab him in the throat. Put kid in microwave. Pee on something.

Fuck his wife.

Let the rest of the family know.

He may have done this to others in your family, and sometimes families don't talk to each other about these types of things (I know first hand when my sister "borrowed" money for years from various family members without anyone figuring out that she owed a lot of people a lot of money).

Stop it now before he gets (any further) out of control.

Pretty sure everyone in the family knows already. No way I was keeping that to myself. I immediately called my aunt (after he didnt answer) when my bro told me just to see if he heard correctly. She said she heard something about it but doesnt know the details and that I need to call him. Plus, he just nonchalantly told my two brothers and my sister about it last night.

They all talked to me today and were like, "We heard him say that and we all couldnt believe it cause we know he you didnt know." And they all told him he needs to tell me ASAP. He obv bitched out when he saw me today.

When I left i took registration and insurance off it. So he needed to title to get all that for it. Never in my mind did I think he was gonna fucking sell it.

beat the shit out of him at least once. i mean what the fuck is this crap?

then read spankys post and do that, but kick is ass first

Then at this point, start shopping for a new car.

haven't read any responses but when you loan shit to anyone just expect to never get it or your money back. it's just easier in every way you can imagine.

1. you ain't pissed off when you don't get paid back because that was what you expected.

2. you tend to not loan anyone any fucking thing because you know you aren't getting shit back.

3. and, when you do loan some piddly-ass shit to someone and somehow get it back, it's like found money.

oh yeah, lol at him scrapping your ride, unfucking believable, wtf are people thinking?

On one hand I want to say fuck it, its only $250 chalk up the loss. On the other hand, I want to say wtf he sold your car make his life hell.
