Today, I found some charges on my credit card for two round trip tickets to Las Vegas. Turns out my daughter and her stoner, unemployed boyfriend stole my credit card and flew to Vegas over the weekend to get married. I paid for my daughter's elopement. FML

I would report her for stealing your credit card. You would have 2 things. 1. Your money back 2. Your dumbshit daughter would have to pay for her crimes.

Three choices: 1. Police report, call credit card company & report the fraud - daughter & boyfriend may get arrested, but you won't pay. And maybe the lesson will finally get through. 2. Put all of her stuff outside & change the locks. 3. Keep enabling her immature irresponsibility; maybe even let them live with you. Then they can have a built-in baby sitter when Spicoli knocks her up and can't be found anywhere.

I really have to disagree with all of the comments saying to press charges and/or report to the police. This, I believe, is the worse yet. Get your own daughter arrested? Call me a traditionalist, but I honestly believe parents should do something more personal (i.e. speaking, punishment, discipline, etc) than getting legal entities involve. Yes, it's terrible what the daughter did; I do not defend her actions. However, consider the actions you could take and the consequences. Rather than trying to retrieve a small amount of money back and risk getting your children a criminal record, take it a severe breech of trust, and consider other actions. Obviously, she is too old for a spanking, so some better options would be to simply forcing her to live on her own with her lover (to realize the errors of her ways) or simply to stop associating with her. These, I believe, are better alternatives than some of the other suggested actions, particularly 'disowning'. Legally disowning a child is a huge step and a step I think one should only consider when one is rationally thinking as opposed to being fueled by feelings of betrayal and anger.

I agree pressing charges is extreme, but I would in some cases. I'm curious of the history here... Has she always been a leech? Has she stolen a few bucks here and there and thinks its okay? Does she have a job? (the guy she married doesn't, but does she?). If she has been taking advantage of her parents for a long time, I say get her add arrested! If, up until the plane tickets, she has been fairly financially dependent and just wanted to hide the wedding, I'd stick with kicking her out or cutting ties (at least for a while). But who knows what's really going on... :/

Some cheap ***** who steals her father's credit card to get married to some shit-for-brains stoner? Yeah, that's worth accepting.

What you need to do is fairly clear, and since FMLs take a little while to show up, I hope that you have already done these things: First, dispute the charges. What was done was credit card fraud and you should be able to have said charges removed from your account, though it may take quite a few phone calls. Second, be sure to close the little bitch out of your life. Change the locks on your house, toss anything of hers that might still be in your home out onto the lawn OR sell it if possible. Books (though I doubt she reads) can be sold to Half Price Books, clothing to second-hand stores, and other stuff can be donated. In that case, leave a note on the lawn saying so. If possible change your phone number and e-mail address. Leave her with no way to contact you and make it clear she is no longer welcome in your life.

Oh, and if you do end up tossing her stuff out on the lawn, be sure to piss on it. Either open up on the stuff yourself, or get some animal urine from a hunting supply store.

I agree with #43. reverse the charges. Tell your daughter that "now you're all grown up and married I think you should move out or start paying your own bills."
