Tough Talk,

My youngest brother recently passed away. He was a good man and always helped me when I needed it. He had been staying with his granddaughter and her boyfriend. He was not happy, but it was tolerable. He had many photos and papers like letters from our parents which have only sentimental value. I asked his granddaughter for these belongings and even offered to make copies if she wanted them for herself. When I called her she was really rude and even hung up on me. Tough Talk, she has stuff from our childhood. What should I do?   (Higgins Port Iowa)

HP,

I would march over to her home and loudly bang on the front door. Tell her to give her your brother’s stuff or you will raise a s!*t storm the likes of which she has never seen. Also, if you have some people who can be intimidating, bring them along as well. You may also want to report the belongings as stolen property. Be creative, but you can’t walk away from this.
