Should I be responsible for the Palm piolet that was stolen out of my book bag in the locker got bronken into?

I personally feel that every theft is the sole responsibilty of the thief.  But if the palm piolet was not yours but loaned to you, then you may be responsible to replace it.  You have to consider if you were in anyway liable due to your actions or lack of actions.  Did you leave the locker unlocked, even if it looked locked?  Did you leave it in an area that is often broken into?  Did you promise to take care of it no matter what?  If yes, you probably will have to replace it.\nA more disturbing question is, what info was on it?  Was there financial info?  ID?  This could have serious legal ramifications.  You are at the very least responsible to report to police that the item was stolen in case the thing gets used in a crime.

If the police know about it, they should be able to track the phone when they use it. Try to file an insurance claim if you don't recover the stolen items (make sure to have proof of ownership). Other than that, I don't know what else to do.

I know the right thing to do would be to bring it to the authorities...... but hell, I'd keep it. Go buy a house, a car, all new furniture, pay off all my debts, buy new clothes for my kids and myself, put some in the bank so it could draw interest..... ok where's the suitcase?????...lol

Yes, in order to keep other children safe, it is imperative that the school has the right to search the locker. When I was in school, we were told that the lockers were not our property, and they belonged to the school, therefore, they could be searched at anytime. If you have nothing to hide, then why not let them search?

easy, don't eat pacer leads!\n\nbut to be serious, maybe u should get the staff to sign out for the stuff they take, then if a big amount of stuff goes missing then u well call a meeting about the theft.

No, the school is not responsible. The parking lot, though privately owned, is publicly accesible, and so there is nothing the school could have reasonably done to prevent the vandalizing. Further, since it is clearly publicly available, you should have realized that there were the same possibilities as far as vandalizing go when parking there as when parking anywhere else.

You are well within your rights to press charges and I encourage it. But I am a city girl and am always thinking with an urban attitude. \n\nLegally, that person will get charged with I am sure (1) breaking and entering, (2) theft, (3) fraud....most of which are felonies. If he has been released he will be arrested and will need a lawyer. He will then go on trial and the courts will contact you. Once you press charges you will be assigned a detective or a person of contact within the police department. \n\nPersonally...I am afraid that this person has had the opportunity to look in your wallet, know your address, and may be even have made COPIES OF YOUR KEYS. I really am not trying to scare you, but as a single woman, we have to look out for any possible scenarios that may put us in harm's way. \n\nI suggest you atleast change all locks to anything leading in to your home or apartment. I would much prefer you to be safe than suing. \n\nGood Luck to you and I am sorry to hear that someone decided to violate you in that way. Please try to always remember to carry your purse with you and ensure that all valuables are at least in your trunk. Always remember to be very cautious when entering your car.

Unless your brothers friend was a signatory to the bank account then it was theft. If he was a signatory then unfortunately nothing you can do. If the police will not prosecute even though it is theft then you can sue for return of the money.

Need more details...wallet was taken away from you at the scene?  If it was that doesn't sound right unless it was taken in as evidence (contained drugs or had suspected drug residue on it?). Anyways check back at the police station maybe it was mysteriously found as mysteriouly as it disappeared. Anyways I would pursue the matter even if it only ended up officially reported or thrown out in court.  At least there would be some type of record of this type of thing happening with this (these) same sheriff(s). At the very least it would start a presidence in setting some boundries against this type of (suspected) abuse. Or maybe this has been going on and has been reported earlier by (a) different individual(s).  Either way the more people that report and take action the stronger the next (reported) victum's chances are.  It might even end up setting some boundries for the (reported) thief by giving him a taste of his own medicine....a trip in front of a sentencing judge. \nI'm a little confused about the police station with the sheriff(s) involved. I thought they had their own seperate stations.  Maybe you could check at the sheriff's station for your wallet, maybe he took it to the sheriff's station.

My school bag also like that and I never had a locker also. My mother suggested me to carry a extra bag in my hands so that I could lessen the weight. It also helps me to balance myself. I put 3/4 of my books in my bag and 1/4 of the books in my handbag. You try to lessen your bag by carrying the neccessary books and certain amount of stationery.\n\nWish you all the best.

Go to the police and report it. That's the first thing you should've done.

I dont think that you should keep it, that is basically a nice form of stealing.  I think that you should track him down and give it back.
