- Ghostalker, on 11/02/2008, -8/+150I blame rap music for this.
- lies03, on 11/03/2008, -3/+13838 year old living with his parents who are 70 years old. He has no job, and his mom, 70 years, does his laundry and cooks for him. I thought I heard it all.
- thedarkrabbit, on 11/03/2008, -7/+73I hope that by "divorce" they mean "Shot."
- sgtbutterscotch, on 11/02/2008, -3/+68the hell are you saying? i'm pretty sure they were "devastated by the total disregard of the love they showed to the son."
- dajuggernaut, on 11/03/2008, -3/+63Congratulations Brett Andrew Laurent,
You have won the douche bag of the year award. - Soniti, on 11/03/2008, -0/+44I always thought this kind of "divorce" was just called "disownment"..?
- Haoie, on 11/03/2008, -1/+43I read this earlier today and thought, what kind of son would treat his own elderly parents like this?
- Grimee, on 11/03/2008, -8/+45I blame George Bush. Why not? He gets blamed for everything else...
- DeFex, on 11/03/2008, -0/+36I'm glad i don't live in "Te Puke"

- linagee, on 11/03/2008, -8/+31I blame a non-US upbringing.
- cdigioia, on 11/03/2008, -0/+23You win this thread.
- sgtbutterscotch, on 11/02/2008, -1/+22Yeah, screw Flight of the Conchords for inventing rap down there. Look what they started.
- Meocross, on 11/03/2008, -5/+26I blame McCain
- jkhab, on 11/03/2008, -3/+23Some people just turn into *****. There are so many different factors which must have affected their relationship. Any parent who decides to do something this drastic to their 38 year old son must have really had enough.
- Elranzer, on 11/03/2008, -2/+22I like turtles
- Aroundtheworls, on 11/03/2008, -5/+25I blame turtles

- Noodleson, on 11/03/2008, -4/+22I blame drugs
- heystoopid, on 11/03/2008, -3/+21Atypical pond sewer scum low life bum , they were very lucky indeed as undoubtedly had they put him back in the will , he would have murdered them for their assets and insurance on the property as well .
- dave122, on 11/03/2008, -0/+18I never stole from my parents, I got a job.
- go60, on 11/03/2008, -7/+24I blame indie rock n roll

- ticonderoga321, on 11/03/2008, -5/+22I blame Go-carts
- mojo31979, on 11/03/2008, -0/+17At age 38 It's no longer an issue of upbringing. But since you bring it up, the fact that you base your success on your possessions and how much money you make, your parents (mom) didn't do a very good job either.
- Charlotte_Web, on 11/03/2008, -0/+16Maybe he had watched his parents enter their ATM pin number. A trip to the grocery store, that's all it would have taken.
- JFitzpatrick, on 11/03/2008, -0/+16Your parents can be serial killers. If you grow up to be a dick, you're still responsible for being a dick.
- jazzboyrules, on 11/03/2008, -0/+16I never smoked or stole.
- inactive, on 11/03/2008, -4/+20I blame Canada
- unclebuck, on 11/03/2008, -1/+17Dugg for "Te Puke" retirement village. And the guy is a total *****.
- sponeil, on 11/03/2008, -3/+18I blame Digg (someone had to say it).
- M4tchstickM4n, on 11/03/2008, -0/+15When I was younger I had a friend whose brother treated his parents like this. He sold them a rental car, borrowed expensive items then sold them and generally behaved like an *****.
Sometimes no matter how well you bring up your children, they just turn out bad. - inactive, on 11/03/2008, -1/+15That guy is such a maverick.
- doctechnical, on 11/03/2008, -3/+17I blame fluoridation.
- erkokite, on 11/03/2008, -2/+16I blame Oprah.
- benologist, on 11/03/2008, -1/+15Wow... blame the parents because the son stole their life savings. You generation Y chumps are so awesome.
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -0/+13I blame ***** who always post irrelevant personal links no one is interested in clicking.
- Andrwmorph, on 11/03/2008, -3/+16I blame the Jews
- Lighthouse, on 11/03/2008, -0/+12why bring America into the discussion? this happened in New Zealand, dope.
- heystoopid, on 11/03/2008, -2/+13All too easy due to very lax banking procedures .
- wyrdness, on 11/03/2008, -1/+12Remember that this is in New Zealand dollars.
$20,000 NZ$ = $11,657 US$ = 9,158 EUR = 7,311 GBP - DeadBabyFloat, on 11/03/2008, -0/+11So, you can retire on $20K in New Zealand , huh?
- Angostura, on 11/03/2008, -1/+12I blame your parents for not teaching you how to read an article. Presumably they still read newspapers and books out-loud to you. You should learn how to stand on your own two feet. You said: "and coddling him up until he was 38 didn't help"... now go and read the article
- DeathfireD, on 11/03/2008, -3/+14My question is how did he have access to their retirement account and a eftpos card + pin number? Did his parents trust him enough with that stuff?
