I’ve very recently had something stolen from me; from somebody I never would have thought would do such a thing. The worst part about it is that the guy, who shall remain nameless, for now, is a well respected dunner.

I feel truly betrayed and I can’t believe I would have ever called this person my friend or let them around my business or my family.

Who’s had something stolen and how did it make you feel?

It's happened to me years ago - not a duner friend.
It made me very wary of any and all of my friends, and to this day I have trouble really "letting people in", and they have to have really earned my trust.

Just curious. What was taken ?

Yep.... and there is no second chances with me either..
I only have 1 CLOSE friend because of lame chit like this.....
Sorry my man.

I had two things stolen from me over 25 years ago by a close friend of our families and by one of my sisters boyfriends.

I saw the first theft and found the item in my friends room and called her on it a week or so later. I got the item back! This person had some mental issues. Her younger sister was and still is my best friend to this day.

I was shocked like you but it was long ago and I have let it go.

If it were to happen to me today I would be very upset!

Thats a tuff one to swallow brother. Its hard to trust again after being betrayed or taken a fool for. Hope all is well with the family,

Shawn

Gonna move this over into Chat.

That sucks man. I've been down this road in the past and it hits home for a long time.

Sucks about getting robbed! But are you sure its not a misunderstanding or something? Like did he borrow something of yours and forget to give it back? Or did he straight up just jack you for something?

Have you talked to them about it after the incident? Communication is everything and if the person is as you say; "A well respected duner", you should give them a chance to make it right. Give em a call, email em or even shoot em a PM and talk about the issue. Then if they don't come clean - throw em under the bus and post all the juicy details here...


just my two cents worth

I joke that I watch Cops to see what my family is up too, but we were ripped off by an Uncle and my Cousins when I was growing up.. It hurts!!

if they were a friend i say confront them and hope it was just a mistake

You too huh!

My uncle and my cousin jacked me and my pops back when I was in high school... effers came into my house when I was at football practice and jacked a few guns, whatever cash was laying around and some jewlery... Freaking both POS!

thanks for comments guys, I just got a call that it will be returned.

Next door neighbor who I grew up with broke into our house and stole my bb gun. Fought him on a monthly basis for the next 5 years. Still pisses me off

I don't think you can accidentally borrow a computer. That sucks to hear, I hope you can work it out, and sooner rather than later.

I say post all the juicy details. Call him out on the board. Apparently he doesn't value your friendship.


Wait, aren't thieves, if convicted, not allowed to vote? That oughta get to him.

thats lame. but did you have some incriminating pictures on it of them???

sometimes things happen..

To answer the question, no I have not had this issue. I generally don't let people into my things well enough to steal stuff.

Violated and shocked.

I had a trusted friend who was a nice lady (neighbor for years) working as a maid steal money from the drawers. Caught her on tape. Never told her but she knew I knew. Never have allowed back in my house again.

My own cousin had/has a drug problem. He stole from just about everybody in the family at one time or another. It got so bad that he has been banned from family gatherings, because nobody wants him to know where they live.

Any violation of trust in a friendship always comes as a shock....

Had stuff "stolen" from me in a variety of ways....no way feels good

I've always been a firm believer that a man who claims to have more friends than fingers is either a fool or a liar. I can count all my real friends on my fingers and still have some left over.

I can't stand a thief. Thieves. liars, and people who aren't punctual are my three biggest peevs.

Sucks you got filched. Burn me once shame on you, but there won't be a 2nd time.

amy:
sounds like the plan worked... u called them out semi-publically, without slander and u have a resolution. tho there has been a "solution" there will never be that level of trust again with said person.

perhaps deleting this thread is the next step? just a suggestion.

-jen

Eff that. I would sure like to know who it is if there's a thief among us. Or at least hear the excuse.

"Un, oh that computer... Um, I borrowed it. I forgot to tell you that I took it but now that you brought it up in public, um, yea, I'll bring it back."

Don't Delete this thread until you have your property back! understand you don't want to give us a name but it would be a fun game to guess the name ...

Hang Man

it was just a suggestion.

Great to hear!!! Glad everything is getting worked out!

Now if some one stoled your tail gate and you found out who wouldn't you want to warn your glamis family and friends of this person? Just saying

zippy...

If something like this happened to me...I'd throw my own kids under the bus...

Clean your room before you go to jail or I'll throw your sh*t out...

hey!!!! chris...

You could post details without a name.
But the manner in which you posted this leaves too much to really get anyones opinion on your issue as its TOO VAGUE.



But it seems to have worked. Sounds like your getting your stuff back.
You learned something about that person.


All GD.com learned is a psot like this might help solve an issue or get the machine churning.

Another life lesson.

Sorry it happened - people do lots of stupid stuff.

Learn from it, don't trust that person again, get it back if you can, and move on quickly.

no kidding on the pot stiring and gossip:
there are currently TWO LURKERS in here right this moment... im hoping all ends well.

Damn that sucks! I am shocked to know it is one of our gd.com family. Glad you are getting it back but I hope that person knows that your friendship will NEVER be the same for you or all the people that know.

I had a brother-in-law steal a Snap-on torque wrench and some stereo stuff from me. He put the stereo stuff in his truck in plain view and I went to his work to get a tire fixed, opened his tool box to get a screwdriver and there was my wrench with my initials ground off. I didnt want to confront him at his work so i confronted him the next night after I had proof from his snap-on dealt that he never purchased it and he gave it back with everything including the torque settings ground off. Him and my sister were living at my moms house when this happened.

We also think he went in my moms underwear drawer and stole her Avon Money.

People are Effed up especially since they were there rent free.

My ex-wife used to steal my money that I was hiding from her.

Spill the beans.

During my youth, I once had a girl steal my dignity and self-respect by forcing herself upon me one night--- many, many times. I felt so used and abused the next day--- I cried after I left and took a rape shower once I got home.

Now thats funny....

If there's an Adam's apple, it's not a female, keep that in mind next time.......

I'm wondering where we went from a "well respected duner" to a GD.com member??

ON EDIT: I went back and read the post that refers to it that way. Me's says she "knows" so I'll figure she does

I thought ALL GD.com members were "well respected duners"...

Right but not ALL "well respected duners" are GD.com members

Hold up...maybe I was wrong in assuming it was a gd.com member...I DO NOT KNOW who this person is. I guess I just figured that since it was posted on here to help get the stuff back then the person obviously gets on here therefore assuming it was a gd.com member. I apologize I assumed and I apologize if I was wrong.
Carry on...

Now I'm really confused.

That figures....

That is easy it happened on May 1st the un official start of Summer Dune season

Well it certainly wasn't me

I could use the money though
