Long story short... I've recently got on my feet after leaving a dv relationship with 4 kids. Meaning that I've completed uni, got a good paying job and bought myself a car on salary sacrifice which includes a fuel card. To use the fuel card i must have paid enough that the card had credit available. I'm not well of by any means but I'm doing well and starting to save.
Anyway, i went on two short trips earlier this year where i asked my brother to drive me to the airport with my car, he could use it while i was away, and pick me up again. I've checked my recent account and while he's had my car three times and over $500 was spent on my card. My car only uses at tops 100 to fill it and I've never left it empty for him.
If he asked to use my card to fill his car i would have said yes because i can never say no. It saddens me that he's technically stolen from me and hidden it.
Do i say something?
He's always there for me in emergencies etc...
How do i approach family who've stolen from me?

Sigh,
I think I'd let this one go, but not leave the fuel card with him ever again!
If he's really generous himself he probably has the attitude of what's yours is mine and mine is yours.
If you do say something I'd frame it as 'I appreciate everything you do for us, and I don't want to appear stingy (you aren't) I was just caught short when I came back because there was more used on the card than I'd expected'
I would be far less tactful and say hey did you run up my card $500!! I just saw the statement and I can't believe it!
Hell either explain, admit whole or part and if you explain tgats your real money on it maybe offer to repay.
Then you can move on and let it go
