So around two years ago, our toilet was flooded so a black plumber came over, but my mom didn’t call one so idk why he was there or why she let him in. But long story short he told her to buy some things to fix it and she did, leaving a strange man alone in the house and later some rather expensive things went missing.

I’m pissed off since my parents promised it to me and my siblings and my mother’s severely retarded actions probably got it stolen. I say probably because I don’t think someone would search in a storage space behind a bed in a limited time but whatever. I know it’s been like two years and pigs are most certainly are not going to help but is there at least anything I could do?

You should go ahead and report it but the chances of anything coming from it are zero. You're not getting your shit back, it got pawned that same day. But it could help the cops track the guy if there were related incidents.

like >>33341600 said you should report it but nothing will come from it. Maybe if you'd reported it at the time the cops would track the guy down and retrieve your items, but at this point they've passed through 20 other sets of hands

Report it because he may have been arrested for doing it again elsewhere and they can establish a pattern to prosecute him with

Meanwhile, consider the very real possibility that your mother's story is not fully accurate (plumbers, black or white, do not just show up ) and she may have just lost the items.

This is the best advice. The odds of a convoluted series of events being true or a parent going god I don't want to argue with my kid over this so I'll bullshit him is and easy bet.

Were you an eye witness to all this? Because this story makes no sense whatever. A plumber came over without being called? And when a strange man arrived, claiming to be a plumber who just somehow magically knew you needed one, your mother let him in then left him in the house alone while she went to buy stuff he had told her to buy?

No. Bullshit. If that's the story your mother told you, she's lying through her teeth. More likely she broke or lost the things in question, or possibly even sold them herself, and didn't want to tell you the truth.

Okay I should have clarified that my mom promised everything to me not just this particular things and I didn’t really know about them outside of this incident, so I don’t think it was a coverup. That and a she seemed actually really upset about it, but I agree that the part on the plumber who magically showed up seems fake but I wasn’t there so I don’t really know what to believe.

Yeah I don’t really know how you could reasonably resolve this sorry
