technically no, you should not have had it at school in the first place.

File a police report.  It's unlikely to be resolved, as you have no proof that it was even stolen and not misplaced.  I completely believe you, but there is certainly the shadow of a doubt.

We just went through this.  Go to the school and pay directly. Get a receipt in your name.  I would also let the school know the situation.  Ask them if they see signs of neglect to please report it immediately to you.  If and when you go to court (you probably will if she is crazy enough to not care if her child eats) this can help prove that she can not take care of the child properly.  Anything you do above child support make sure you get documentation.  \n\nI am sure the school is not going to let her go hungary (ask anyway).  Most schools just substitute a cheaper meal.

If it was given to you fairly, use it as incentive to work harder. Maybe ask your teacher what you can do to improve. If it was given to you unfairly, politely ask the teacher to change it. If he/she will not, file a formal complaint.

You need to speak to your boss right away. Ask to speak to him privately and give him the information you know about the stealing. You can request that he keep this confidential unless it has to go to court. This will protect you against retaliation. Stealing is wrong and harmful to the business. If you do not report this, you may be considered complicit in the stealing. Tell the boss today.

If your teacher is requiring you to have it, they should provide it. Check with your school technology department. If the teacher uses it, chances are they will have it and can give it to you.

That happend to my husband after opening up something, think it was a tv dinner from Reesers. He was eating, and soon found a piece of a rubber glove in his food. We called the company, they knew nothing about it and said all they would do was send coupons which they did, about $40 worth. I was still kinda ticked about it, for one they were rude. But when I did talk to someone about it, they pretty much told me that something like that is very hard to prove and that alot of people will plant things in the food, trying to get money from the company. Like the Wendy's story with the finger. So I don't think something like that would be an easy case in court, you might be better off just calling the company and complaining, and see what they will do.\n\nI'm sure if someone had lost a finger or been hurt at the company they would have closed all the lines and destroyed everything that day.

I know exactly what I would do.  I would find out when the next school board meeting was first.  Then I would get me a good lawyer and go to that school board meeting.  When it is time for discussion from the floor, I would tell the Superintendent and the School Board exactly what has been going on and exactly what the principal and the teacher has said to you.  I would then tell them that they are allowing your child to be bullied and he is in an unsafe environment and that your lawyer is prepared to file a lawsuit (he will tell you what to say here) and that you are not going to allow your child to be treated this way because a cops child is the one doing the bullying.  I would also consider telling the cop and his spouse that you will be filing a suit against them as well. \n\nI really don't want you to go through with this unless they don't do anything to make the situation better.  Sometimes the threat of something like this is just what they need.  Imagine all the bad press they would get for allowing bullying to go on in their school system.....  I would push for the principal and the teacher to be disciplined also.  \n\nWe had an almost similar situation where the principal told the teachers not to tell anyone that there was a meningitis outbreak at the school.  Needless to say that principal retired after that.  My son was also getting his lunch money stolen everyday.  I tried for about 2 months to get him to stand up for himself but that is just not the kind of kid he his.  Finally, I wrote a letter to the teacher and told her what was going on and I also called the pricipal and told her.  The children (2) were caught red handed.  They were told they would have to repay the money.  The same day the money was repaid, one of the kids stole the money back.  I got a letter from one of the childrens mother saying that her son told them that mine was "giving" his money to him.  I know different because my son was extremely upset over the whole thing.  I didn't get mad over the money, I just wanted him to not be tortured anymore.  Just like you.  I would pay to just threaten them with a lawyer.  I'm sure you can find one that would do this for a very reasonable price.  Shop around.  I hope you can get this taken care of.  No one will take up for our children but us.  I wish you all the best.

You need to tell a school official.  This behavior is unacceptable.  The school has a responsibility to curb this and protect you.  If the school does nothing the next time this happens, call the police and press charges.  The school will have liability as well and you may be able to sue them for doing nothing.  Good luck.

Since all teachers have different ways of torturing their students, I suggest you take your query and the answers you receive directly to the source.  Make your teacher EXPLAIN exactly what it is that they are expecting you to do.  To me "cleanup" would mean to rewrite it to benefit your original statement, but even that seems too bizarre for a solution to your problem.  Maybe it is the use of real & ficticious characters your teacher was making reference to.  Good luck, I'm probably NO help. Thanks for the brain teaser!

While it is legal for a teacher to confiscate such "contraband" such as cell phones, it is illegal to charge the student money to have the confiscated property returned.

Lol, I think that's what teachers are suppose to do. My teachers do that all the time...\n\nwhy? Is this teacher hot as hell?

If they want their merchandise back, tell them you will return it when they get a "REPLEVIN" order from the court.  This will cost them money, so they'll probably not bother.\n\nUntil they get that order, don't give them anything.

I would first report the item theft to game admins, make sure to tell them everything from website, player name, etc. They should put some effort into stoping this guy. If that dont work then try to warn others about them. Since you did not actually lose any real money or items you cant bring legal actions on them unless they broke some law. I dont recomend attacking their website directly beacuse it would be a criminal act on your part.

If they left with out paying for gas and all they left behind was a card then most likely it was stolen!   But why didn't you guys called the cops??  You should have made a report that such person w/ this type of car came provided a possible stolen card and left w/ out paying for the gas...   \n\nFor all we know this individual may have committed a worst crime minutes earlier! Also, in the future you should write down all license plate #'s down in case this ever happens again.

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.
