Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML

$60 will cover a shovel, duct tape, a large knife, and some trash bags... all with enough left over to go out and have a couple beers.

How could someone possibly deserve this? Despite your opinion on how to store your money, her mother had no right to root through a house that didn't belong to her and take items without permission. File a police report for burglary. This is flat out theft.

The sad thing is, she was correct. You dont read them. If it weren't for the $300 you probably wouldnt care.

...maybe she already read them? I mean, you don't throw books out after you finish them, so naturally a place to store them when finished would be a book store. I don't know, sorry, it's just the common sense talking.

OP never said that those were books that they never read... the parents assumed.

You she be thankful it could be worse. AN old lady's daughter once threw away her mattress where a Million bucks was hidden! True story. Learn your lesson dude.

I definitely read this as a grown woman having her own house and her parents coming to sell some of her items. But I guess it makes more sense that this is probably a teenager with books in her room.

Why not keep the money in a wallet, or a bank?

Some people don't trust banks OR are saving it up for something and don't want to risk over spending. I used to hide extra cash that I didn't want in my bank account (that was connected to my mom) in DVD cases. Just a way in case of identity theft you don't lose EVERYTHING.

That sucks, but really...what's wrong with a bank? Unless the money's dodgey...That'll teach you to keep your money under your bed at least.

I would definitely kill my rents if they sold my books. Not because money is between them but you never mess with a chick's books I LOVE to read. fyl
