My sister has this habit of loosing her wallet. I swear the amount of times she has lost it is incredible. Shes had to replace everything in it 2 - 3 times.
Most of the cards you have to pay to replace. She called and screaming in the phone. Now back in college she lost her wallet (someone stole it afterwards), and I paid to replace all her cards and never got the money back, plus paid to drive her around, and her gas money.
She borrowed my car this morning, because her boyfriend was spraying oil under it, and putting snow tires on it. Well if she gets pulled over without a licence, my car can be towed, and I dont have the money to pay the towing fees, nor any other crap with that.
I asked my Dad to drive me down to get my car, I am not risking it as I have $95 to do me 2 weeks, I need gas, and groceries.
They keep saying its fine she wont get pulled over. I will drive my sisters car down, and trade her, so if she gets caught its her own car, and her problem. I know if my car got towed she wouldnt pay the fees.
I told her I am not driivng her around like a personal driver. I am working tomorrow and the rest of the week, so she can find someone else to drive her.

I don't blame you. They don't treat you right or pay you back or even really say thank you. I wouldn't want to have to pay fees or anything liek that or get my care impounded. Whether she likes it or not, oh well. Heck I may not have even let her drive my car, and I don't even have one.

Her boyfriend didnt even take her car, she drove to my Grandmas then went home and drove my car back. She is so unorganized, and irresponsible its not even funny. I wonder how she will do when she lives on her own. Her boyfriend wont do anything for her, and he truely doesnt know how she is.

I don't blame you for not wanting to risk your car for her. You need your car to get to work and back and I doubt you can rely on anyone in your family to give you rides if she does get your car towed.
I hope you were able to get your car back from her without her getting pulled over or anything.

I wonder why she keeps losing her wallet, doesn't she carry a purse with her anywhere? I always have a purse on me and my wallet and everything is in it and I keep my purse close to me at all times. I had my purse stolen last year at my job and still to do this day we don't know whatever happened to it. My prescription meds were in it, house key, car key, all my credit cards etc. It sucked having to replace everything and get new stuff but now I keep my stuff locked up at work. I hope she doesn't get pulled over with your car but I can't blame you for not wanting to cart her around anymore, I had to do that with my sister too and sometimes she paid me and other times she didn't. Luckily she has her own car now and I don't have to do it anymore. Hopefully this is the last time your sister will lose her wallet maybe she'll learn from it maybe she won't. I couldn't imagine losing it as many times as she has. Sounds like she's not a responsible kind of person.

I do understand your concern with not wanting to let your sister drive your car while she doesn't have her license in possession. However, I do know from first-hand experience just today that they will not tow your car or arrest your sister from not having her license in possession.
You see, my husband was late getting home from work today and when he came home he showed me that he had gotten a traffic ticket for no brake lights on his car, expired driver's license and expired tags. They let him drive the car home and told him that the ticket will be dropped when he provides proof that those violations have been remedied.

Seems your sister is such a headache, that's right let her solve her own problems.

I have lost my wallet more times than i can count as well. You are doing the right thing by not letting her drive your car. If she got pulled over or in an accident how would you get to work? She isn't paying you for gas so she also shouldn't drive it for this reason as well. I don't drive. I can't so friends and family take me places but i do pay for gas with everyone that drives me except for hubby i do other things to pay him back. Your sister should be more grateful for you as a sister since you have been so nice to her. I think you 2 need to have a little talk and you need to tell her how you feel about her using you and your car without paying for gas.

Wow, shouldn't she at least have learned by now from when she lost her wallet a couple of times with all the trouble that she's got to go through in securing her cards and stuff all over again? I think the last time I lost my wallet (well, actually it was taken from me, my bag was slashed while I was in commute) about 10 years ago and I made sure that it will never happen to me again. I can't afford to lose some money, and even more in re-doing all the licenses and IDs that I have in it. I do understand that you are her sister and you have a moral obligation to help her out, but this time around, you're doing the right thing.

Even though she is your sister, I think what you are doing is just right. As a sibling, not tolerating her lack of responsibility is a good way of teaching her responsibility. If she lost her wallet, then just give her a few bucks and let her work for what she has lost. I bet that would make her more careful of her things in the future. And it's good that you trade your car with hers, cause the responsibility will be all hers.
