I have had his "friends" come into the house and steal my valuables and he has only gotten rid of one of them. There are a lot of antiques in our house and I looked them up on the web and found out they are still worth thousands of dollars! I also talked to an antique dealer recommended to me and even he thinks there is exploitation involved in their plan to donate his antiques with the assumption that they are worthless in this day and age.
They are not worthless and I have checked this out! This lady that he wants to have come here to help him "get rid" of his antiques has an edge to her and I have seen her twist the truth and be manipulative. I'm tempted to call the police and get a protective order but I do not have physical evidence to prove that she's a threat to me. She has been confronted that I think she and another friend of his stole from me and she had a temper fit and left our premises. Now he is threatening to bring her back. I'm feeling very afraid with the kind of people he brings in the house. It sounds silly but I'm planning to get all my stuff out of here even if I end up staying.
I called the police once about a suspicious man who was staying in the motel I was in--it turned out he was dealing meth and they had a warrant for his arrest.
You never know...
As is sometimes the case, people in this category can be confused about certain issues and they can probably not be judged as mentally incompetent just because they're forgetting names or being irrational about certain topics.
For this reason, I'm not always around the house and have a multitude of obligations.
I think the suggestion about a spy camera is a good one.
He is the sole owner of the house and the antiques are legally his and he usually insists on having whoever he wants at the house even if he knows I don't like them.
I think why he has gotten rid of certain scammers, including the one who stole from me, is just his own preference and also because I was able to prove that he trespassed onto our land as if he owned it and was bothering both of us.
This lady that wants to move his antiques out does know I don't trust her since she's been confronted and what amazes me is her lack of concern. If she knows she didn't take anything, then she might be able to figure out that it was the person with her who stole things with her in the general area and she should take a protective stance. I was wondering if why she had a temper fit when she was confronted is because of her guilt. I think some people steal just to be obnoxious and not because they need what they're taking.
As for antiques not selling anymore, I agree that it would be true in certain areas.
I would also agree that it might be true for certain age groups.
The antique dealer I talked with said their non-salability is only true about certain items. I looked on the web and found hundreds of recently sold items similar to ours.
Sell one of the antiques you are not that attached to and have a security camera system installed inside and outside the house. Be sure to utilize the “these premises under video surveillance.” stickers Then, when this person “visits”, show her the camera system. Some have sound so you can record anything she says to Dad. You don’t need to be nice or even polite to her. As far as that goes, if you know what she’s like, why are you even letting her in? Are you leaving her alone with Dad? That’s a BIG NOPE! She needs to realize you’re onto her. As far as that goes, you shouldn’t even be letting her in the house. Why are you? If Dad carries on, tell him very honestly that she’s actually stolen from you and continues to try to scam him. Because she knows you have so many valuables in the home, I’d be concerned she will not stop at trying to scam Dad and may enlist the services of lowlife friends who will rob you. I might sell another piece and rent a climate controlled storage facility. Once the pieces are gone, so will she be.
