OP — your Dyson has been targeted. She knew you had one because when you told her about your deserved extravagance, she felt jealous, and envious. You unwittingly planted a seed in her dishonest subconscious that grew and manifested in to something sinister. Her wedding was the perfect excuse to justify the big ask. And what sort of friend would say no….
So I’m with PP’s who suggest this has simply been lifted in the hope that you would just roll over and accept that someone had made off with it from the hotel cleaning staff and she could palm you off with a cheap and tired Facebook replacement.
Just wondering — what’s your knowledge/opinion of new husband and would you think he is guiding her in this train wreck of a situation? Is he aiding and abetting or carefully guiding his wife to limit the potential for huge reputational damage for the newlyweds by being labelled as thieving bastards!?
Take note of the suggested responses to the latest message here, and tread carefully as she sounds so wide of the mark in terms of decency it’s unbelievable. You don’t want her to pull down the shutters on you before a brand new replacement is provided. However make sure you do that to her as soon as you have it back.
She knows where this is and she’s regretting the whole thing. How deep will she dig herself before she either crumbles and miraculously finds it, or throws a tantrum and accuses you of ruining her big day again and walks away.
On of the more astonishing MN threads I’ve seen in a good while.
