I'm sorry op, but irrelevant worse for the parents. If that little girl can get your new ball away from you after one cute look , she must have her parents wrapped around her finger! I bet she even has a pony. Darn those cute kids!

Parents who have kids and don't give a **** that they do that should really have them taken away. Those kind of people don't deserve to be parents.

It's never cute when they say " mine. " They always mean it. Always.

The toddler's law of ownership: If I like it, it's mine. If you have it and I want it, it's mine. If I ever had it, it's mine forever.

Regardless of how much the basketball was, I'd be mad that a little bratty girl stole my ball. And how the parents didn't notices and stop her is beyond me? They should have known it didn't belong to their child when she got in their car.

What crappy parenting.

her parents need better parenting skills. Did you tryand atleast get the tag number.

I can't help but wonder what the parents were doing?? They just sit there, in front of someone's home while their little girl runs out of the car and steals a ball? And then they drive off only after she's stolen it? It sounds to me like this was definitely premeditated, and not an impulse decision by a little girl. As for you OP, while I don't understand the concept of paying so much for a ball, I'm sorry that it got stolen from you. Especially since it was so soon after your purchase. You should've at least gotten some actual use out of it first! Sigh.. If I had been you, I would've probably tried to follow their car for as long as possible, and if they stopped within a reasonable distance for me, I would've definitely had a talk with both the parents and the girl. Brats today are getting worse and worse!

If you're not fast enough to run down a little girl skipping, basketball is probably not the sport for you. You don't need a ball. Your defense sucks and that's what you should focus on.

Bitch jacked yo ball. This is why you don't trust little kids.
