stolen property

[the truth]

Ok so my love life has crashed and burned again

This time after 3 months , she has stolen £575 worth of electrical appliances I bought and paid for 4 weeks ago, furniture worth £300+ and £300 of food for Christmas thrown into black bags

I have the receipts for everything

She claims it is in storage in my town waiting to be delivered to her in england
so what do I do to get my stuff back?

go to every storage firm in town with receipts? ring the police? etc

all advice duly appreciated:wavey:

[Niamh.]

Call the police I'd say but because you two were together they may tell you its a civil matter

[Cherie]

D: you know how to pick them

[user104658]

The police are highly unlikely to be interested in a non-violent domestic. Also if she was actually living with you at any point, you will have a (very) tough time proving that these things belong to you personally. If this is the whole story then, to be totally honest, it sounds like she knows that well and it probably isn't the first time she's done this to someone...

Judge Rinder!

[the truth]

its only 3 months I have all receipts and credit card statement, how isnt this criminal?

[Northern Monkey]

Hoody,gloves and go rob her house for equal value of goods.Or better still if she's got a cat or dog then take it for ransom.

This is something for the small claims court, if you have all receipts

[thesheriff443]

If she says it was a gift then you are screwed, you have clearly spent a lot in a short time, so have you been scammed.

[the truth]

This is something for the small claims court, if you have all receipts

why cant I just take a policeman to the storage container place , with my receipts and get my stuff back?

[user104658]

It probably technically is but impossible to prove in terms of pressing charges. She didn't break into your home, and she can simply claim that they were all gifts that you now want back because the relationship ended. Whether or not the police actually believe her story... there's no way to prove it either way. It's her word against yours. Hence a small claims court issue. But the cost of taking it to small claims court will be more than the goods are worth if you don't win the case (you are liable for all court costs if you don't succeed).

Honestly... your best option is to chalk it up to experience and try to be a little more discerning about who you let into your life and your home :umm2:.

Because you can't prove what's in the container and (I would hope!) the storage company wouldn't let anyone into the container but the person who hired it (unless the police have a solid reason to search it, which they don't).

You don't know where it is, she could be lying and it was all shipped in a van, a policeman won't touch this

[Crimson Dynamo]

One of her presents is a framed movie pic of the first Dvd we watched on our first date at LT Towers (some random film about Black rights in USA but I think she will like it) :hee:

Take her to small claims court. You can make a claim online, they may suggest mediation. All the info is here: https://www.gov.uk/make-court-claim-for-money/overview

[Livia]

Oh and... Bitch!

He needs to be a bit more picky, maybe you could mentor him LT, you don't see TL driving off with that old toaster we've seen pics of

[Livia]

We should form some kind of panel that has to interview prospectives before he's allowed to date them.

[Marsh.]

I'd feel pity but I just don't.

You may not like to do this, but call the police on her.
a) It will teach her that there are consequences for nicking someone else's property
b) If you are insured and report it as theft you can claim insurance, assuming you don't get your stuff back.
c) Tell everyone via social media. That way some other poor sap won't get his stuff nicked.
I hope you get your stuff back, or at least have someone you can go to for Christmas?

courts - it takes so long etc.

[the truth]

man alive relationships are hard work

[jaxie]

Hey Truth, first of all I'm very sorry to hear about your misfortune. It's hurtful when romance doesn't work out and it must be doubly hurtful that she would abuse your trust by stealing from you as well.

I would definitely take Livia's (and Cherie's) advice and link above and file a complaint in the small claims court. You could also speak to your local citizen's advice as sometimes they have some good helpful suggestions, like writing a letter with your claim to her and how to word it, or getting a solicitor to write a letter for you. This can be enough to get someone to settle so you don't have to go all the way in the court. Jenni also gives good advice re reporting to the police to get a crime number so you can make an insurance claim. If you have house contents insurance.

I hope your next relationship is much more in line with what you deserve and I hope this hurtful experience doesn't put you off looking for love. I think there is someone special out there, but as my granny used to say sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs first.

Whatever you do don't let her back into to your home/life. If someone proves untrustworthy once it's pretty likely it's a behaviour pattern.
