My sister and her two kids were watching my birds this weekend at my apartment. The older (12) decided it'd be fun to break into my office and get on my computer. When I returned from my weekend away I found the door was unlocked and the computer on.
Long story short, the little bastard spent around $4,000 at places like LuckyLand.
I know it's probably not a lot of money to some of the folks here, but that represents months of effort on my part. I just don't know what to do. My sister can't afford to pay it back. I can't imagine I can dispute the transactions with my bank since it'd lead back to her son. I doubt any of the places he spent my money are going to care. Is my only option to just live with it and grind again? I feel like I'm answering my own question, just figured it couldn't hurt to ask for advice.
Update - Yes, I know I'm an idiot. I had things written down that I shouldn't have. I live alone and didn't expect my nephew to break into my office. I had played on luckyland through Facebook at some point and that's where he accessed it. I have some issues with short and long-term memory from living years with an undiagnosed neuro disorder. I write things down. I already feel quite stupid for trusting my family. No need to blame the victim is all I'm saying, believe me, I blame myself enough.
