how old are you and your gf? We are 30

how long have you been together? Almost 8 years in total now.. we were separated for almost a year in between, and have a daughter together

do you guys live together? Yes we do

do you generally pool your money together? Yes, but that money was for other purposes

how old is your gf's brother? he is 26

how old is his gf? We think they said she was 21 maybe 22?

how long have they been together? less then 6 months if I remember right, but not long at all

does your gf, her brother, or her brother's gf have any kind of criminal past? My girl doesn't... but her brother has had a drug problem a couple years ago. I don't know about his girl

are any of those three in debt or drug users? My girl isn't... and I cant be too sure now about them

why are you so convinced it was her brother or his gf who stole it, rather than your gf? Over the past 8 years I have left tons of cash around with her (lots more then $6k numerous times), and not one dollar has ever come up missing. If she ever needed money, should would just ask, no matter what the amount.

how do you know you weren't robbed by an intruder? Someone was always in the house within those 36 hours, and the intruder didn't take anything else it seems. Just the cash.

What wasn't answered and to me is a key is where other drawers/dressers rummaged through. Did your GF know that you kept the money there? If so, she'd be my suspect first and out front. I think there is a lot more to this that either isn't known or isn't being told. Not blaming NFLTrends but this is like swiss cheese.

Nothing looks out of place, just some paperwork and a couple old cell phones in my nightstand drawer. None of my other drawers looked searched through. And I did keep the cash right in the drawer, not hidden in or under anything. My fault, but have never had any money come missing from that spot in the many years I have kept it there.

nfltrends..better then a safe...just get a safety deposit box from your bank. it's like 40/month but well worth it. why put a safe in the house..now whoever took your money know you have cash in the house and next thing you know when they're in a bind, they're gonna bring several people and tie you up and demand the money.

If they are active on facebook/twitter they will probably slip up and incriminate themselves on there if you know their names.

Maybe you could recover through homeowners insurance1

Homeowners probably isn't going to help much. Cash stolen via break-in or individuals voluntarily allowed within your residence are covered, but there typically have low limits on cash, like a maximum of $1,000-$1,500. In can get trickier with the latter as well, as most policies include wording such as "money or valuables stolen from your home if your home/property was properly secured." What the hell does that mean? Its usually enough gray area for the insurance company to wiggle through in the event of the theft was done by someone you know and voluntarily allowed into your home.

Homeowners typically requires proof of purchase or possession, which may or may not be a path someone wants to go down, such as bank transaction, deposit slip, etc. In addition, they may require a police report, which once again may not be a path someone wants to go down.

My girls brother and his girlfriend stayed the night couple of days ago, and after they left (about 6-7 hours later) I went to get some cash out of my drawer and it was all gone.

They wont answer any calls from relatives of friends, and don't know the whereabouts at all.

How do I prove they did it? What repercussions do I have?

This sucks... close to $6k gone in the blink of an eye.....
not returning a call is basically guilty

you cant prove they did it

i'd still beat the shit out of him though
