To think if you break someone's property you should at least fix it/pay for it to be fixed?

I gave away my sofa for free, to get rid of it quickly. It was an expensive sofa bed (over £1000 new and in decent condition). I out a Facebook message saying it was free to whoever can collect and one of dh friends collected it.

Her boyfriend dropped it on our garden gate, breaking it. Now the gate has to be stirred elsewhere as it is off its hinges and would likely be stolen for scrap metal. The front of the house looks pretty terrible tbh.

It will cost quite a lot in materials alone to fix, and this is is dh is even able to fix it, which I'm not sure he can. So far he has sent one day trying to no avail.

They also took the scatter cushions which were bought separately and I had not offered and wanted to keep. Grrrr!

Aibu to think they should have at least offered to fix?

Every time I walk into the house and see the damage it annoys me.

I would have asked for a contribution towards the repair if I was you. However, yabu now as so much time has passed.

How dod he explain it at the time then? Did he lie?

He didn't explain anything at the time.

I didn't ask to be fair as I assumed it had just broken with use.

Tbf the scatter cushions probably smell pretty funky being in someone's house over a year.
