Friends stealing from you

[Bob_barker101]

The other day my friend spent the night at my house, and on that day i decide to go to the movie store and rent a movie with my dad. I have my wallet in my hands and i have no pockets, so im thinking, he is a good friend, he wouldnt steal from me. soooo, i put the wallet on my bed and leave, with him and my brother there. I get back home, forget about my wallet, and watch the movie. My friend leaves, then about an hour later i need my wallet. i go in my room, look on my bed and my heart stops......my ID card is laying there. Im like WTF!!!. Then i found out you cant trust anyone, not even your best friends. Im so pissed because the wallet had pictures of my girlfriend in it, $20, and some gift cards. The only thing i cared about was the pictures cause i love her so much. so, what should i do...1. call him and say i caught him on tape stealing my wallet(though i didnt) and then when i see him beat the *deleted* out of him & get my wallet back, or 2. your guys opinions.

Bob_barker,
I think we have already had this discussion, so let's let this be the final warning. DO NOT bypass the word filter again.

how bout 3) You say you will kick his *** and you don't.

My moneys on that one.

Anyways me and my freinds steal food and soda from eachother all the time. One gets up to go to the bathromm his pizza and soda are gone when he gets back. But a wallet its the big times.

Are you sure your brother didn't do it? Seems a shame to beat up the wrong guy.

[Bob_barker101]

My brother knows if he steals anything from me, he will be punished severly<--how ever u spell it. He has learned from the past.

[LunarSolaris]

If you have a witness that saw the wallet as such... then I say go with your witness. Either way, I'd still confront him (non-violently of course). Also, you might want to consider that it's possible your brother could have taken the money as well (as you mention he was there). I wouldn't make an assumption unless you know for absolute certain. It might not seem plausible... but any good investigation means you don't rule out any possibility without checking it out.

Not if he's got you thinking it was your friend that did it. Never underestimate the deviousness of brothers.
I'm just saying, be sure first. If it turns out it was your friend...well, he isn't much of a friend, now, is he?

[Bob_barker101]

I know my friend took it for sure. Im nice to all my friends, i dont beat on them, call them names, or steal from them but yet they seem to build up the nerve to take from me. Its unbelieveable.

[Bob_barker101]

Some people at school say im to nice, should i beat the *deleted* out of all my friends before becoming their friends?

*see the first post*

If he has a guilty conscience say "Hey, have you seen my wallet recently friend?"

[Xenon[XoA]]

That sucks :(
My friends steal stuff from each other (and me) many times, but they're very open about it. Not like any of us are seriously trying to jack the other guy. So at least talk to him first, but check your brother out beforehand. You don't want to (worst case scenario) lose a friend because your brother decided to fool around a bit.

If friendly talks fail, I could uh... impart my favourite stinkbomb recipie to you :thumbsup:
Not to be taken lightly that stuff is. Then when he asks for reparations, say he can take it from the wallet he stole from ya ^^

[DurfBarian]

I say you take off and nuke him from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

[mudvaynefan]

id be more suspicious of your bro than your friend....

my bro is like that

I know this is OnT in the OT forum, but it's relevant to the topic

Figure that out

When I finally got a decent enough connection to play Diablo 2 over the realms (which was after playing SP for years, unfortunately I'm a victim of an AOL household) I had a good friend from highschool that I started playing all of the time with. We ended up getting to the point where we were actually sharing accounts. I know that's a big no-no, but I was a newb to bnet back then, and I thought I could trust the guy. I mean, he was sharing his account with me as well.

Well I'm sure you can imagine what happened. I loved to magic find, and right before I was about to go on vacation I found my first decent drop on the realms, a tal ammy. I was happy as you can imagine, it beat the hell out of my Mahim-Oak Curio. My friend was jealous as you can imagine, he had been playing on bnet for awhile but he was a newb in general. As you can imagine ;) (thought i'd say that just one more time).

When I got back home from vacation it was gone. (big surprise) I didn't want to blame my friend straight off, so I asked some of my other friends if I had let them borrow it and I just didn't remember. I asked him as well, he said no like all of the others.

So I had to cope with my lost, I tried to get into his account to check but he had changed his password (I thought I forgot what it was). He wasn't talking to me much anymore, on diablo or at school. I suspected him highly.

So as you see, it's all in how he acts that will define if it was him or not. See how he is around you next to you see him barb_barker. Act normal and see if he acts strangly.

Just to finish up my partial thread-jacking now that my point is made...

He needed a sigon set later and /w me if he could trade me for one. His cousin had deleted his character that had his set so he could create his own.

He offered a Tal Ammy for it, plus a whole lot of other stuff.

I knew that was my ammy. He said he found it doing pindle runs as soon as he put it up (raising my suspicion even more), but I knew for a fact that he sucked doing pindle, and he could never get past act 1 hell (as I said, he was a true blue, newb, or as this proves, a n00b.)

I was going to forgive him, because all the stuff besides the Tal Ammy that he traded me was worth over a sigons.

I changed my password just in case.

Next time I logged in:

"failed login attempts: 7"

He was not forgiven, and I took him off my friends list. He never took me off his. After 1.10 came out I added him again to see what game he was in, removed him again, joined and teased him with a shako and homoncolus he wanted. He was offering crap like cow king set for it. I filled up my inv and kept clicking on accept trade, of course I had no room. I kept telling him he was the one who was full. I did this for about an hour, he wanted that shako and homoncolus so bad (by this time even if I did lose those it wouldn't have been a big deal, only in the fact that he would get them).

I laughed my *** off for days about it.

Whatever you do Bob_Barker, revenge is sweet, so don't deny the nectar.

Hits necro in the pants. Bad diablo bad!

thats hilarious!

well, as far as i know my friends have never stole anything major from each other. we're all salt of the earth type people...but we did get very farmiliar with each other in school. routinely my good friend timmy would come by my apartment before we made the long trek to the other side of campus...we had an hour or two between some other class and our classes across campus...they were different classes...but nearby each other. it became habit very quickly for timmy to just show up after our first class and flop on the couch...when i heard the TV i would come down, and chill for a bit before class. sometimes we would eat...sometimes not...usually if we did it was my infamous taco goop, but occasionally it was sandwiches or other simple food. usually I'd make him drive so we didn't have to get him a parking permit. Now things came up and we didn't always do it...but more often than not we were hanging out before class.

well as things always do, eventually classes got hectic and i had a few big projects all at the same time...I was forced to stay up all night the night before the incident. I was working on the computer up in my room and I was barely awake. i had been up for a long time by the time my first class came around....I decided to skip it and work on some finishing touches...I start proofreading my proposal while trying to keep my eyes open...I'm not sure if I was still working or if i had fallen asleep, but for whatever reason i missed the TV turning on downstairs. I missed the class on the other side of campus and I woke up to another of my roommates (mike--the anal one...but a cool guy) he was mad about something.

as i started to get what he was saying it seemed he thought I had left a bunch of sandwich making materials all over the kitchen and I had not cleaned up my mess. i told him i had no idea what he was talking about...i didn't make a sandwich. I reminded him it wasn't even my lunch meat. but ryan hadn't been around all day and mike had been with jeremy. plus he said he heard me making the sandwich around 2:30. I was utterly confused. i was hungry as hell so I doubted i had eaten anything. and i would think i would remember. I went downstairs and it was obvious someone had made a sandwich..and they were messy about it...and they left out the mayo and the meat. I told Mike again that I have no idea who made the sandwich and we talked it out...we were completely stumped. then jeremy who was also doing computer things downstairs (basement) with mike asked if it might've been timmy. this made sense...he did usually come by...but you'd think if i didn't come down he'd come upstairs and see me passed out at my desk--if i even was...I'm not sure when i fell asleep. the thing is though...usually when timmy shows up he turns on the TV and waits for me to come down...they didn't remember if the TV was on or not...the position of it would make them have to walk partially up the stairs to hear it anyway...so they easily could've missed it.

we were baffled...ther could be no other solution...timmy stole a sandwich, and he didn't even have the wherewithall to wake me up to ask...or even ask mike--who he knew well also. I mean what kinda guy walks into someone else's apartment and eats a sandwich, leaves a mess and bails? So we asked him about it. Hey, did you come by the other day and have a sandwich? I couldn't tell if he was lying or not..but he claimed he never stopped by. he had no alibi. It's possible that timmy was not the sandwich snagger. it's also possible that i made it and didn't know...it's also possible it was bigfoot...but the only reasonable explanation in my mind would be timmy ate the sandwich. No one else would randomly walk in our apartment...everyone else would knock or ring the bell...both things that mike and jermo would've heard. Now, i wouldn't care at all if timmy came in and ate a sandwich..all i'd have done was call him some name and tell him to wake me up next time...then I'd make him buy mike a sandwich..or something. no big thing. but he refused to admit it was him. and to this day he refuses to admit it was him. mike jermo and I all give him a lot of crap about it...in fact pretty much everyone uses it as a inside joke aobut timmy and his immoral sandwich stealing.

but it drives me crazy that he won't admit that he took it.

that's my story. true story...no names were changed. timmy, mike and jermo are still friends of mine. i did finish my paper...it was rough getting everything put together but I ended up doing well on the project. mike ate the cost of his sandwich and got over it. I got to clean up the mess. timmy holds to his story. everytime it comes up he gets more and more adamant that he didn't touch the sandwich. wasn't even there etc etc.

what do you think?

[Night]

It was Peeves the poltregeist!!!

[cyclotronic]

I thinks its a damn sandwich. Do big deal.

[Stevinator]

I thinks its a damn sandwich. Do big deal.

someone walked into my apartment, went in my fridge...amde themselves food...left a mess and then just left. no one knew they were there. it's not about the sandwich....it's about the intrusion into my home...say timmy isn't lying...he's never broke downa dn just admitted..it he hates the story and swears it wasn't him...who else would just stop in? Greer was up in wisco, and jason was in champaign...so the only people who I would allow to just walk in swear they didn't do it. either I can't trust my friends or I had some stranger rummaging through my stuff.

doesn't that bother you? it would bother me. I did have a place right in the middle of campus sort of...lot of people walked by...but I can't imagine that someone would just come in and make some food.

[cyclotronic]

You let him enter your house at anytime. You let him eat your food. Is it such a bad thing when he goes through this routine when you arnt there. Granted he made a mess but thats no big deal.
