Can I report stolen video games to the police?

Who purchased the games, and how would you prove it? The legal system has a lot of loopholes, not to mention they'd more than likely take her word over yours.

Pretty much this. Your story may be 100% true, but if you can't prove it on paper, then there's not much the police can do.

*SNIP*

Sadly no. Since she is your mother TECHNICALLY everything that you own is also hers because of your age. Unless since from your post I can tell that your parents are divorced. You can get your mom into A LOT of shit. And here is why. Since your parents are divorced and you have stuff at both your dad's and your mom's house. You can try and make the argument that she has no ownership over your things that are in your room because you go between the two houses and can bring anything you wish between the two. If you are able to make the argument of theft successfully:
1) Your mom will have to buy the games back for you.
2) She will go to jail for a bit of time for theft.
3) She can lose her custody of you so that you will not live with her anymore.
(the above CAN happen not necessarily will.)

Are you sure of this? I mean, sure he's a minor and a dependent of his mother, but if he can prove through receipts that HE purchased the games with HIS money, surely something can be done?

That's the problem entirely is that he IS a minor. He can't work unless he gets a special work permit. The money he has is technically his parents that's why trust funds usually kick in at 18 when you are no longer under your parents dominion. I would kind of like to know how he got his money.

You've got a big point there also, what kind of money is a 15 year old making to fully pay for every PS3 game he has? OP care to share?

lol don't report your mum to the police over a few games... besides you probably dont have a case to present to the police. Just confront her about it and if it was her don't get mad, there are more important things in life.
