i see how this could have been avoided. should have not taken him in your house, see this way he is sleeping in the car and it does not get repo'd.

actually in all seriousness, i had friends that were doing the very same stuff at 23/24 years old and NEVER got any better. from what i have seen is that the more parents try to help a kid of 20+ years old get out of trouble, again and again the worse off the kid is.

could i have gotten where i am today without help from my folks on the + side of 20? hell no, but it was not jail, bail, or repo'd cars they helped me with. my parents gave me an oppertunity that i realized i had to grow up and take advantage of if i ever wanted to amount to anything. they have since said that it was my last chance with them, i did not know that at the time, but part of me must have known.

kick his ass out, let him fend for himself and see how your help should not be taken lightly. had this happened to me at that age, my pops' last course of action would not be "how do i (he) get the car back?", it would be how to i get him off my books
