What do people think..... I leant my parents a £400 chair (ergonomic design office chair) when one of the had a bad back.... with the assumption that i want it back when i had room to house it. Just moved house, asked for it back (after 3 years) to be told that it broke at xmas so they threw it away. My objections are as follows 1. that this particular chair is very solid and i find it difficult to beleive that it simple 'broke'... suspect it was 'busted' 2. that they knew i would want it back as i have a bad back 3. they didnt tell me/ask me before they threw it out. 4. they could have claimed on their house insurance but havent. When they told me what happened the other night, i expressed my displeasure yet they have not apologised or said they will replace it, they simlpy said ' we didnt think you wanted it back'. thing is, i need it, and also this is not the first time. we leant them an exercise bike which when we asked for it back a year later they 'no longer had it' so we had to buy another one and they didnt offer to give us the money.... what should i do... i dont wanna be 400 quid down!!
