'You're not family if you think stealing from me is okay': Woman reunites with cousin over nostalgic childhood toys she passed down to her daughter, invites her over then finds her selling stolen toys online for $250

There's a special kind of heartbreak that comes from realizing your childhood toys are gone. Not because you lost them, but because a well-meaning adult "gifted" them to another kid who immediately shoved them in their nose or dropped them in the toilet. Even if you were too old to be playing with them, the sting lingers. My brother is 35 and still brings up the time our mom gave his pristine Hot Wheels collection to a younger cousin without asking like it was a federal crime (though she's the one who probably bought them in the first place).

So when one woman decided to keep her vintage Littlest Pet Shop collection safe for decades, with the dream of passing it down to her daughter one day, we totally got it. What she didn't expect was for her cousin (who she used to trade those toys with as a kid) to come over, play nice, and then try to secretly sell the rarest ones online for $250. Yep. This story spirals fast.
