How do you respond to a friend's theft?
604164
I don't believe that a lawsuit is your best recourse. However, I would (with the others involved) approach him and ask him a few questions, like...\n1) Are you struggling with any addictions?(drugs,alcohol,sex,gambling..)\n2)Did you get yourself into some trouble and were too ashamed to ask for help?\nIf so, to either question, tell him you forgive him and ask him to seek help. You all might want to offer him this...since it's obvious he requires some. Nothing is going to get resolved thru anger, or seeking retribution yourselves...even thru legal channels. There's a lesson here (for all who read this). -TRUST and FORGIVENESS\nI'll sincerely be praying for those involved on the short end...and for your lost friend.\nIn the meantime, I have a friend who lives in the Costa Mesa area who (along with 2 others) is looking for 1 more roommate to share a 4 bedroom house. I believe the price is 400 a month and it's possible that he could&#92;would defer the deposit until you got on your financial feet.\n\nSincerely,\nMike\n\nPS - There may be other questions you may want to ask.1

In reality or in theory?\n\nIn theory, you could track her down and begin proceedings against her.\n\nIn reality, the above would just be throwing good money after bad and wasting you time.\n\nIf she denies you LENDING her the money, can you prove you didn't give it to her out of the kindness of your heart. In fact can you prove you gave her anything at all?\nIf she doesn't have the money, you are not going to get it back\nIf she is out of the country, you are going to find it hard to find her\nIf the police are after her for theft, you are not even going to be the only person in line for payment.\n\nI hate to say this, but I think although you can register this with the police, you might not want to waste too much more of your time/effort/emotions/money in this.\n\nTime to move on with better frinds.

Mind your own business and let your friend handle it.  If she or he needs your help, they'll ask.  Then you have all rights to kick that persons *ss for messing with your friend.

You are in breach of contract and costs will start running up for your liability, until he gets his property back. You will not make any friends.\nMaster.

What ever you borrowed isn't worth the pain of having to call you to get it back....\n\nTry borrowing something more expensive next time...

You should tell everyone what really happened. your real friends and family will believe you. But let the friend off the hook too. i mean, he is your freind, right?

Unless your brothers friend was a signatory to the bank account then it was theft. If he was a signatory then unfortunately nothing you can do. If the police will not prosecute even though it is theft then you can sue for return of the money.

I suppose that your friend knows that you got in trouble?\nThen your friend made two mistakes.\nIf they were a true friend, they would not let you take the blame. Therefore, if they fail to come forward and take the blame away from you, it is safe to say that they were not your "friend" in the first place and you would be well within your right to set the record straight.

What you are telling is a breach of contract and not a theft.\nIt is better if you engage a lawyer in India and issue the compmpany a notice for recovery.\nIf the reply given by company is not found satsfactory by you, you can file a suit in the court of law, through\nadvocate.\nIf you need any help please contact on my email address, so that I would be able to engage a lawyer for you.

Quickly write down a description of the people .. yell out to call attention to the situation .. and call the cops.. you never know they might catch tme later , and the slimess chance they might get it back.. other than that they may catch them so someone else doesnt get something stolen.

Addiction is tough.  Especially when you're broke, need money, and know an easy place to get it.\n\nMy first suggestion... write down everything that makes you suspect this person.  This lets you clear your head and think about your thoughts before you confront the person.  Once you've written it down, look it over.  Does it look like enough of circumstances to put together into robbery?  \n\nIf it still seems like it is... call your friend up and meet in a public place to talk.  (People can get emotional when they're confronted).  Ask POLITELY.  Or bring it up and say that you had a lot of money go missing... does he know of anyone who might have taken it (look at his reaction).  If he denies it, tell him/her of your suspicions.  Tell him/her that it's time to find a new job, or perhaps suggest that he/she does some work where you don't pay him/her to make up the difference.\n\nIf it goes bad, you could always call the police.  But that would guarantee a lost friendship...

Nothing. The people at the towing company stole everything. I had my car towed recently and they stole my CD player. When I confronted them they said that some one jumped the fence and stole it. Call the cops to make a report then call the Better Business Bureau. Unfortunately your stuff is gone.

Contact him again telling him you will allow him 2 more weeks -then you will report him to E-Bay - Also if I sent money already I would  report him to the police -chances are he's done this before and you are not he only victim- I was friends with a guy until he started stalking me because he wanted to date me and I only wanted to be friends so I went down to the police station and filed re-straining order- turns out he had a warrant for his arrest for fraud on E-bay - he would post a pic of a high price stereo or other item and when he got the money he would send the customer a box of books or a broken appliance- The officer gave me a copy of his report it was 5 pages long of all the scams he did- Just be careful - I heard the safest way to order from E-bay is to order from those who use Pay-pal cause I heard they will refund your money\nGood Luck

That is not a good thing for him to be doing... But I would just hide your money really good and then just talk to him about what might happen if it wasnt you he was stealing from...Like Juvy or involvement of the police...Also you need to somehow set him straight...Maybe not desert if you have that in your house, or groundings....But nothing to harsh...THen that might give him other ideas...Just be a little harsh but not TOO harsh...

That is theft.  By saying you lost it shows how much you really care for this friend.  Absolutely nothing.  You need to give her back her phone and appologize.  Then save your money and get your own phone.  \n\nOn a side note, you also need to work on your spelling and grammar.  Its really hard to read.
