Stolen Camera
My uncle does mass amounts of crack and has stolen so many things from me. I used my camera to recently take photos of me standing plainly in my underwear to track my weight loss. I did not delete them. My uncle took my camera and pawned it, or gave it to a drug dealer idk... can i charge him? I'm 17 in the state of texas

The short answer is yes. Anytime someone takes something of value they can be charged with theft. In this case there is another charge that could be brought against him as well. That being the distribution of child pornography.
I doubt it is against the law for you to take pictures of yourself. It would be against the law for your Uncle, or you for that matter, to distribute those pictures, knowingly or not. The same would be true for the drug dealer or porn shop who may be in possession of the camera. The charge would be possessing child pornography. Of course all this is dependent on the laws in the State of Texas.
The one charge that holds true is the theft charge. Depending on the value of the camera will depend on whether the charge is a felony charge or misdemeanor.

Well if you know he's doing crack, then yes. You can tell someone and they can scope out his place (if he has one). Also, you know HE stole it. Cops can figure this stuff out easily.
Good luck and sorry to hear about the pictures :S.
