Dear Ann Problems with a kleptomaniac sister in law
A reader describes a sister in law in her 50s who steals items for which she has no use. The husband covers losses by charging stolen goods, but the family seeks protection. Ann suggests the husband search his wife’s pockets on return and bill for unrecovered items, treating the family like a department store. Another letter asks about leaving an abusive husband with their child, with guidance to seek AA and safety. The column closes advising to stay out of others’ family disputes.
