Not Sure What To Do

666 346 September 23, 2011 at 12:34 PM
OK, okay, I won't post any more threads in the lounge for a while after this, I promise. Embarrassment

Limit OT if possible. Frown

Between my dad's recent hospitalization and other things, I have had a lot of stressful situations going on in my life lately.

Recently, I went over to a friend's (Friend2) house for a little get together and left my DS lite with a few games and other things (totaling approximately $150) because my friend (Friend1) requested that I do so. This friend (Friend1) then left the house, forgetting the DS Lite and all along with a backpack full of my sleep-over necessities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) at my other friend's (Friend2) house.

After two weeks of texting Friend2, so many excuses have been made as to why I can't go over and get the DS. I wouldn't doubt by now he sold it to some crack head for $5.

What can I do in this situation? Friend1 is like a brother to me.

Ask Friend1 to go pick the items up for you?

1. Show up unannounced with a baseball bat
2. While holding bat, ask for device back
3. Get device back or break knees and take $150 cash.

Friend1 no longer lives in the area and has moved out of town with his Dad.

You could totally be "on your way to baseball practice".

I haven't played baseball since little league, and I play soccer. LOL

Anyway, does anyone have suggestions on what to do legally, etc?
My backpack did have some personal stuff in it that isn't replaceable...

It should be easy to find your way to your backpack.
Doh The map is in the backpack, isn't it? Comfort



Why haven't you gone to see Friend2?

Can you tell your friend to just meet you somewhere with the stuff, if you're just getting excuses about why you can't pick it up?
Maybe you could start posting craigslist ads with their phone number on them Scratchchin

Is birth control really that hard to replace?

If they're refusing to give you personal property, I suppose you can file a police report and see what they can do about getting your property back.

Just show up on their doorstep and ask for your stuff. If they refuse, call the cops right then and there.

Tried that.. Their excuse is that they work and they think it's "BS that [I] keep harassing them about it."

That's the next step I suppose.

That's another option. Would prefer to just get the stuff back. I just don't know if I have the legal right to do so?

I'll get right on it with the money I don't have. School is expensive.
