OMG! There are so many things that need to be said in this thread:
Moderator cut: snip
Third, is my advice to the OP. I am terribly sorry for your situation. Unfortunately, I think the police can take your dog until you prove it is your dog. Hopefully, you have documentation; if you don’t, ask the police to make your mom prove it was her dog to sell. Then the police will know you didn’t approve the sale.
I would ask your mom why she thought you abused items you purchased and how she thought it was her business to take things away from her. I would ask because I would be curious to know her point of view and I think it could make her think what she did to you. Iterate you love her and appreciated her letting you stay with you, but if she doesn’t return your items and respect that you are an adult now, you don’t think you can maintain a relationship with her anymore. Very tough love indeed, but if I think if you don’t demand respect from her now, she won’t give it in the future.

Did you talk about it with her, but also with your father ? Maybe it's not the first time she's done weird things and there is an issue that needs to be taken care of.
something don't sound right about this story, two sides to every story you know. but if what you are saying is true then your mother is out of line here. try to work it out between the two of you and get you father in on it also and if that don't work then use the legal system. best of luck
Get a way from the crazy woman as quickly as possible. Do NOT let her stay in your apartment. Call the police and get them to get your stuff back. Your mother stole your computer, your phone, and your dog. She has NO say how you use anything. None. She's completely, batsheet, crazy.
Since you're living on your own and paying your own bills, she has absolutely no dominion over you. Get the police involved and get your stuff back. She sounds unstable. Perhaps moving out of the apartment and not telling her where you're living in the future would be best. The same goes for people who may be loyal to her. Don't tell them where you're living, and try to stay away from social networking sites.
i think this is a family business and my advice to you is to ask her why she did that ,whatever u do try to not scrow up u relation ship with your mother because family more importen then a dog
Whether or not you feel a dog is important or not does not give the mother any right to just sell something that does not belong to her. People and their pets bond and the OP has the dog for a reason, it could be that she felt more love from the dog than her own mother. The relationship between the OP and the mother is already screwed up; the mother sounds like someone who is controlling and cruel. The mother has no rights to do anything to the OP's personal things unless the OP has displayed developmental issues, but this is clearly not the case. The OP needs to take a firm stand and demand her mother give back everything she stole.
Ok, my mom was staying with me because I am an only child of only children, and my dad was out of town and did not trust my mother to be at their home by herself. Things like this happened in the past and two months ago the doctors said she was in the early stages of dementia, and she is scitziophrinic. I have been borrowing my former roommate's old laptop, that's how the thread was posted. As for it being 2 am, that's when I finoshed my homework, because I had to work late. The lady who had come to my door hadn't paid for my dog yet, she was there to pay and pick it up. I'm going to call the police tomarrow after class on my friends cell.

do you have any vet bills you paid? That could establish ownership for the dog. Or anything you paid, such as a kennel, pet food,m anything to establish you provided support for the animal should establish ownership. Good Luck
I hate to say it but I think you need to be more protective of your belongings around your mother. Do not let anything of value out of sight, and lock up anything in your apartment of value while she is there.
You may want to consider whether or not there are more therapeutic places she can stay if your father has to go out of town in the future, if she needs supervision like this and he isn't making it his #1 priority to provide that supervision, something more permanent will have to be done.
