DEAR ABBY: Before we went on vacation, we devoted a 15-year-old neighbor "Mia" to feed a cat, take in a mail and H2O a plants. While we were away, she invited some of her friends and their friends to a home. Some of them she knew by their nicknames and usually for a brief time.
When Mia's kin schooled about a party, they forbade her to go. However, she unsuccessful to discuss she had left a doorway unbarred for strangers to enter. It was apparent when we returned that people had been there since things were out of place and rubbish was left behind. We're blank about $100 value of drink and liquor, $50 in change and $150 in aged coins. Mia claims she doesn't know who was there, and her friends aren't being honest.
I'd like to get a military involved. Mia, her kin and my father consider I'm "unfair" for wanting to engage a police. we trust a crime has been committed and don't know since I'm being treated like a bad man when I'm a victim. The military have told me Mia would not get into difficulty as prolonged as she cooperates. Am we overreacting? -- VIOLATED NEIGHBOR IN PENNSYLVANIA

DEAR ABBY: we am recently widowed. Men we work with and a husbands of some of my friends have been attack on me. They'll ask me out for a meal, give me large hugs -- and a integrate of them have even kissed me on a mouth.
I don't lead them on, and besides, I'm a corpulent great-grandmother. What drives group to do this? Do they consider they're "consoling" me? When these things happen, we act as if they never did and go on as common since to do differently would be hurtful to their wives, who are my friends. These group don't dismay me, though we don't know their motivation. Do you? -- GRANNY IN HER 70s

And as to your friends' husbands, try this: Stiff-arm them when we hail them with a honeyed smile, afterwards spin your impertinence when we see them entrance during you.
DEAR ABBY: My father and we are not religious. We trust that people are entitled to their possess beliefs. My problem lies with my brother-in-law and his wife.
