what would you do if the police came knocking on youre door at5 am

Oh my. I hate to here that. I think you did okay by taking some things away from him. I think i would give him a few chores also to make up for what he just put you through with the police.

I vitrified if it really is the police and then I'll open the door,because as I know myself there is nothing the police will do with me,I have any concern on any illegal activities .

Sounds like you need to sit your Son down, and have a nice little discussion with him, and see what his intentions were on this whole deal. I feel that is his intent is to steal you need to consider getting him some help to see this could be a Good way to ruin his life. Or maybe he was just curious, and looking not thinking about how others would percieve it. I can only really say since I do not have kids, I am not sure what I would do, but I would confront him or her and find out what their intentions were, and try to find them something else for them to concentrate on in life other than this.

My alarm bells go off when I hear of a teen getting up at 3am to get ready for school? Didn't yours? Thank God your son got caught. Hopefully this puts enough of a fright into him to turn him straight. You did the right thing in taking things away from him but I really hope you do some seeking in your sons life and get to the bottom of what is going on with him? Got to be something that is for sure!

i have a step daughter who is 17 and i wouldnt want her out at that time in the morning. i think you did the right thing even if he didnt do anything wrong.he might think twice next time being that he was looking in cars that early in the morning.sounds like he was harmless but he could of gotten temped if he saw a wallet or radio or something who knows?

The first things I should do is check whether he is a police or not before I open the door. When it comes the truth,than I would invite him in my home,maybe with afraid or puzzle.If he ask me some questions,I will reply with honest.Because in that time I would think there had happened bad things of my neirbourhood,and what I said can help him.

I think that maybe just a talk would have been okay. Was he looking to steal? If he wasn't and was just being snoopy I don't see the reason to punish him. Some adults even get nosey and look at what others have got.

I don't understand why he has to wake up at 3am to get ready for school. Sounds like it was a good thing that her got caught. Who wakes up at 3am and specially with being 17 years old. I think you did the right thing taking the computer and his gaming system away as well. But it's fine to take things away I think he should also have a stern talking to. Ask him why he would be doing this and what his intentions are. Hope you get through to him. Good luck.
