Friend has caused nearly £300 plus worth of destruction

Yes, any update????

I would like to know how it ended also. @Bunnyboilerfriend did she pay, or did you follow through with going further?

Any update @Bunnyboilerfriend ?

What’s the price of fish got to do with this?

@Bunnyboilerfriend - what was the outcome in the end? Your last post was hoping that £300 would turn up through your door in an unmarked envelope which was about a month ago.

So, how did this end? Did your friend pay?

What’s that got to do with the price of fish?!

@SamphiretheTervosaur

That’s truly awful. Unforgivable. You must’ve been heartsick, too.
My brother’s friend at uni was Italian - both his parents were first-generation Italian-American.
His mother kept a very clean house - so one day she went into his bedroom and took each LP out of its sleeve and carefully cleaned it with furniture polish. I mean, she sprayed that wax concoction on each and every single record and wiped it off.
I don’t remember how many she ruined - 200? 500? All of them.
She was so pleased with herself when she told him.
He cried.

Have you heard from your "friend" since?

Have you been speaking to the guy you both knew?

Second is First of the Losers

Your friend destroyed your belongings and then gaslit you. This person IS NOT your friend.

Any update @Bunnyboilerfriend

Booyah! Green-eyed monster did it.
3 options

1. Repair it all and send her the bill. If she refuses then take her to smalls court online. Settle out of court.
2. Give it all to her as a wrapped gift for birthday or whatever. Go overboard and invite friends to occasion to celebrate.
3. Forgive her and forget, moving on and go for the man anyway and tell her this is your revenge for the jewellery saga.
4. I am officially peeved for you. I would do 3 and then 4 afterwards. But then I'm an evil mf when somebody pisses on my battery.

That's a ridiculously easy bluff to call.

Tell your friend I'm going to check threw my hidden camera and find out

Firstly…were they in a box? Could she have accidentally knocked the jewellery box off the console? (I’m guessing considering the level of drama/upset, drink was involved?). Secondly, why do you have (relatively) valuable jewellery on your hallway console? Seems a vulnerable place to leave it (mad friends aside). Thirdly…you’re in a toxic relationship if you even suspect her in the first place/fall out over men ‘friends’. Fourthly…if she’s damaged your jewellery…get rid! And I’d be checking if any of it is missing. Fifthly…I wouldn’t expect she’ll make amends monetarily or any other way. It’s too shameful…she’ll deny it. Hopefully she (or your jewellery!) doesn’t mean so much to you it will be a lasting upset. Time to get some new friends (new jewellery?)

I would report to Police. She may have a history of this. It would be their choice to take up the case, but they may as they are trained to interview in cases like this, and she may crumble quickly and confess when confronted by them. Unfortunately, most insurance policies don't cover theft or malicious damage from people you have invited into your home, so small claims may be the only option.

She's just not going to respond. I don't know why you think she'll pay when she's lied through her teeth that she isn't responsible. There's no way whatsoever she'll now admit it and pay you.

I would tell the police. You've nothing to lose at this point. They may well claim they can't do much but it might make you feel better. They might go and speak to her, which would presumably make her uncomfortable.

I hope you also tell all your friends including that guy she's so obsessed with.
She sounds like a deranged 12 year old frankly. And imagine not knowing how to spell 'break'? What job does this woman do?

Honestly OP I’d be more upset that I had been friends with someone that hid so well they are crazy ! ( obviously not your fault )
Warn your mutual friend please..
I hope you never hear from this woman again x

Also no photos of damaged goods? Which should be easy to provide.

🙄

I don't see why someone shouldn't keep their jewellery there. It's a fair assumption (one would think) that people wouldn't meddle with it.

Yes in which case a hall 'console' is probably not the best place for it. Not minimising what the friend allegedly did though.

Why is that funny?
She has destroyed the jewellery. Also, £300 is a lot of money. Not to mention the jewellery may also mean a lot to the OP sentimentally.
