Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIFU by letting my parents pawn my silver by [deleted]
Of course they did - they don't want to be accused of having stolen goods.
The reality is if you file a police report you will get your coins back from the pawn shop. However, the police will file charges against your parents.
You would need to decide - do you value your relationship with your parents or your memories with your grandpa more.

Please do (after you secure a new place to live). Just because they’re your parents, that doesn’t give them the right to steal from you. You tried to resolve it with talking and they didn’t even try to negotiate, so this is entirely on them.
Edit: The parts in brackets.

That sounds great but he's still going to have to live with his parents. If he's underage, then it's a recipe for getting kicked out of the house at an early age.
I swear reddit loves doing this and telling people to file labor abuse claims with the state.

They’re just going to keep using him as a paycheck anyway, according to OP’s other comments. He’s not allowed by his parents to get a job since they use him for social security income, and I bet you anything that they’re going to destroy his credit by opening cards under his name.
There’s no ideal solution here, either he bears with the abuse (which this absolutely is) until he’s a legal adult or he starts standing up for himself.

You do realize living in a home is significantly better than being literally homeless right? OP needs to cut all ties as fast as he can but doing it with zero preparation is just going to land him on the streets. But let reddit be reddit in giving utterly terrible advice

He doesn’t have to do it right this instant. Once he’s got an exit in progress, he most definitely should report his parents.

Yea, I should’ve clarify that in my original comment. That one’s on me.

Understandable to be honest, looking from your perspective, I’d have reacted the same way to my own comment. A lot of us get incensed by any form of injustice, and are quick to suggest seeking justice, while being incredibly short-sighted about it.
Thank you for your first comment in pointing out that my original comment was too hasty in that. We all want the OP to come out of this winning, but most importantly, safe and okay.

It sounds as if he is living alone already to me, so in that case yeah if he doesn't have a bond with them anyway who cares.

That would be a pretty unique situation considering his parents are his caretaker for the SSI

The longer you wait, the less silver you'll be able to recover.

I could forgive the pawning it, I could forgive the buying smokes from it, but to pretend it didn't even happen and as if they have no clue what it was about - yeah sue their asses.

100% file a police report. They might be able to recover the coins. Pawn shops have to keep slips on everything.
