You know how you always hear stories that you never think would happen to you?? Well these last few weeks I found out that the unimaginable has happened to me. Let me start from the beginning which I found as odd. A few weeks ago I received a message on my cell phone from my father telling me that Gap had called me at my parent house about an order I had ordered online. I didn't think really anything of it. I thought they had just contacted the wrong person. Also other message I received on my messages was one from Gap and since I didn't contact them they were going to cancel my order. So I thought that the subject was close. Little did I know that this was going to be the beginning of a long mess. The other day Chris brought up the mail and there was a bill from Gap. I opened it up and it was in the amount of $120.71 which included 4 baby outfits and perfume. Which I didn't do any of. My first suspect was my brother, Matt who has a record of theft including credit card and breaking and entering of cars. His girlfriend lives with him and my parents because they have a 19 month old baby boy. I called Gap to cancel my card and let them know of the sisuation. The man on the phone was very nice and helpful. He also told me that the new balance on my card had gone up to $400!! I had that ordered cancelled. I went to my parents house the next day to tell my parents what had happened. We asked the girlfriend if she knew anything of it and her response seemed 100% fake when she said she had no idea and took off immediately to work. During this time I called the local police and there was nothing they can do because there is no money lost(since GAP credited my card) and I recovered the merchendise and I am going to bring it back.(which I now have done) Matt came home and my mom and I confronted him and he had an attitude about, threw his bottle of water at me and we told him we were going to call the police he ripped the phone off the wall (the phone is now broken.)

My dad came home about 20 minutes later and we let him know of what happened. Matt had called Cassie at work and then she came back (she works not even 5 mins away) and we confronted her about it and she pushed me into the wall and called me a whore. (which couldn't be further from the truth - I would never sleep with someone I didn't love) i had a few nice words with her (I don't really think I can say them on here though - don't want my page reported!) But my mother kicked them both out of the house and they want nothing to do with them anymore!

One of them had also stolen my mother's engagment ring and also Cassie had other fun with my cards. She tried to charge stuff on my victoria's secret, but there were questions regarding my account so they cancelled the order which I thanked them for! Also she charged about $350 worth of stuff on my bank card on amazon! At least it was a future shipment so it wasn't charged. This is all I know of also. All those cards are now deactivated. So basically - be careful who you trust. If you heard someone say that they are no good, they are probably right. Cassie preteneded to be nice and my friend, little did I know it was all a joke. All together she tried to take close to $800 worth of stuff, but because I was on top of everything, and I had no money lost, there is nothing that can be done. It's just so unfair.
