Friend has caused nearly £300 plus worth of destruction

[Bunnyboilerfriend]

I had my friend stay the night last night, I waved her off goodbye this morning.

I said something unwittingly last night that made her think I’m after the same man she is, I am not. He is a mutual friend. I could see she was upset and tried to clarify things, she said she understood and she was fine. We both went to bed. Me upstairs. Her downstairs.

After I have seen her off this morning, I have just noticed a number of my jewellery on the hallways console are either broken or bent out of shape beyond recognition.

They were fine last night, there is no one else here who could have done it. I could see she was not only upset but angry last night, but seemed to have composed herself and it was resolved.

I have just sent a text to her saying can you tell me what happened to my jewellery on the console?

I am so shocked and upset I’m almost shaking, I feel so betrayed and violated.

What can I do next?

Well there we are.

I'd log it with the Police. And either claim on your household insurance or small claims court (after invoicing her for the damage)

Shes totally completely utterly nuts 😳

Also......has she NEVER shown this side of her character before? Is she on drugs?

The childish thing to do would be to get the man.

A hallway console is a unit to store items in the hallway, whether it be shoes, hats and scarfs, keys, decorative items and sometimes, jewellery taken off when entering the house.

OP can put her jewellery where she likes, without having to worry that a 'trusted' friend (no longer trusted, clearly) is going to break it.

I would definitely be quietly telling mutuals.
She's unhinged.
Unbelievable lapse of judgement.
Batshit stuff.

What is she, 4 years old?

Flippin' heck. She's no friend and honestly, you need to let your your mutual male friend know what she's like and warn him off. If she can damage your things because she thinks you're a rival, it's scary to think what she could do if slighted.

I'd be on her doorstep with my baseball bat, metaphorically 😈

This is ghastly and the fact she did it surrepticiously makes it so much worse in my mind. It almost seems a bit preconceived given she visited to see it.

Reminds me of my sister in law visiting us in our new house and changing her baby’s poo nappy on the kitchen bench. It felt deliberate.

& sorry op - the fact she misunderstood you about fancying the friend says she’s a bit hot headed. The jewellery issue is off. I don’t think I could ever trust her near my children, loved ones or belongings.

Well that's just given me terrible flashbacks to Die Verwandlung from my A level German exam!

I agree! 🤣😂

She needs to be binned off for the way she spells 'break' if nothing else!

Fatal attraction.

I really wouldn't shag the bloke (though pp might have been joking), he's a friend. I'd be tempted to warn him about her anger issues though.

😅😅

😂😅😂

Apologies 🐞🐞🐞🐞 😁

What!??! Which kind of “friend” does this? Blimey with friends like her you don’t need enemies

Well, there was this case in Greece not so long ago, where a psyco woman got upset because her romantic interest spoke to someone else and liked a few of her fb posts and bought vitriol and waited outside the other girl´s work and chucked it at her face severely disfiguring her and almost killed her. It took the police some time to work out because neither woman were in a relationship with this guy. These nutters exist.

Absolutely, this happened to a friend of mine. The jealous one broke the heels off her very expensive new boots and put them back in the locker where they worked. If it is not one thing it is another.

You had the moral high ground but you ruined it with your pseudo legal language “utmost urgency” 😂😂 Did you ask Chat GPT to do that?

She can’t refund you, because you didn’t buy anything from her. The word you are looking for is “compensate” or “indemnify” if you want to get really fancy.

OP, I would get as far away of this person as possible. Can you imagine her in your house, in the middle of the night, outside your bedroom, breaking your jewellery one by one? It takes a serious level of anger and spite to do that. If I were you I would chekck my house more closely for any other mysterious damage and change my locks.

Surely it’s up to the police to decide whether they have the resources to deal with it? They don’t have the resources to pursue car thefts but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t report one.

…

😂 very good

Or just ask him to post for an instagram photo of you two holding hands and watching a sunset. Be sure to get 24 hour home security shit after you post though !
