My brother steals money from my purse and my moms. We got a lock on our door and think he would stop but if still continues. He steals money from us to entertain his girlfriend who is supporting him . I think this whole thing is discussing especially on the fact that he just got a tattoo that says loyalty. Help me God.

What can I do to stop this?

I think all you can do is keep a tighter control on your stuff. Don't keep anything of value in the house, especially not cash or credit cards. And move out when you're old enough.

How about moving the brother out if he's old enough. If he's still under age, then give him one last chance to stop stealing, and if he doesn't then get the juvenile authorities involved. Maybe a few days in juvenile detention will wake him up, but from what the OP described... I doubt it. Best to lock everything up until he's old enough to boot out the door.

If the girlfriend is supporting him why is he living in the home?
Most people who are being supported by someone else live in the home with the one who is supporting them.
If you can move out otherwise quit carrying a purse, put your money in your bra, get any of your own valuables out of the house and stored somewhere else or locked in a secure trunk or safe that only you have access to.

Have him arrested for theft if you can prove he has stolen from you.

Show the brother the door, then change the locks.

Buy a safe and kick the thief out.

If she's the younger sister, I doubt if she has the authority to move him out. The only thing she can do right now is keep her own stuff safe.

Nobody is going to put him in juvy for stealing money out of his sister's purse. Minor stuff like petty theft and shoplifting are catch and release.
