It's a sad day

I only found out early this morning, last night, Erick stole The Car. The police woke me up. He ditched it, very minor dammages, to the car, but heavy dammages in the trust I had in him. I had to tell the cops, that he had a key to my house, he does afterall take Casimir, my dog, out when it's needed while I'm at work, he knew where the keys were, because I'm not using this car regularly, I didn't notice they had dissapear. Because of that, he already lost his learner's driving permit, his driving lessons are therefor cancelled for 6 months, and when he gets the probatory permits it'll be already stained with demerit points. What a mess he got himself into. After supper, I had a meeting with his parents, along with a social worker, Erick will have to go to juvenile court, face justice. He was already detained in a youth facility part of the day. My insurance will pay, apart from a deductible, for the dammages, to my surprize, the social worker, knowing Erick doesn't have revenue, asked me if it was allright to suggest to the judge that Erick mow my grass all summer long, and plow my driveway all of next winter, by court order. My feeling was so opposite, I beleived they would order me to close all contact with him, blaming me, for being careless ect. One might say it's not much of a sentence, because he would have helped me anyway, it's just that I should be very mad at him, and I'm not, just very dissapointed. He should have asked me to practice, there are so many plces we could go to practice without risk or danger, deserted private roads. SB
