I'm 16 years old. My dad's old college friends came to visit recently and they told me stories of how my dad would get wasted and go to the tops of skyscrapers in DC to steal American flags. I went in our attic once, which I hardly do, and found I gigantic box of dozens of flags of all states and countries, but mostly American flags. Some were as big as a car.
Over spring break we went to the beach, he got so drunk he couldn't see straight. When it was dark he took me and my sister on a walk and saw a flag hanging from a nice beach house. He said, "Girls, today I'm going to teach you how to steal an American flag." and he started to climb up to the roof while we were yelling at him to get down, and the owners came out and threatened to call the cops.
Why does him getting drunk trigger this?? I have no idea what to do or say when this happens.

Im sorry but it is kind of funny. But any ways....Does he do it often? If so, then tell him when he is sober to get some help. AA is a good place to get help and some churches have AA and NA. If he is a single parent explain to him wat could happen if he went to jail. It is the alcahol by the way... but if his friend are incouraging it the try to do more family things with him that don't involve drinking. Such as bowling. Or mini golf. Some thing his friends can't come for.
Your father is a drunk kleptomaniac... Unless you address this issue with him and get him to seek help then it will continue to happen. Might I suggest he attend an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), which would be a good start...
Ring the cops and tell them that you have stolen flags. They will take it from there, and also have words with your father. This might deter him from his drunken fiascos?
Omg. I agree with the first person. This is kind of strange.
