Hi all,

I have a bit of a situation and i'm not really sure what to do.

A few months back when I moved back into my parents, a friend offered to store some things for me including my gaming rig as mother didn't want it setup whilst we were selling the house.

I have had another offer a bit more convenient for me to store my stuff and now every time I phone her she refuses to answer the phone. I've rang the person on a landline and she answered and put the phone down on me.

Now obviously i'm quite keen on the return of my things, where do I stand legally? by refusing to answer me in effect she's refusing access to my property. Can the Police do anything about this?

Help!
 
Just managed to get in contact with the person who is there.

Thankfully it appears my Computer is still there. Not sure about the rest of the hardware though. Along with most of my games and some blu rays.

My double bed has also gone.. she told him to get rid of it.

I still have proof of ownership of the bed of things? is there anything I can do legally?
 
She worked as a volunteer for me for a while and then moved on.. heard nothing else from her?

I know she got booted from the volunteer schemes but through nothing I've done, it was her own doing.

I spoke to her 3 months ago and all was well as far as I was concerned.

Spoke with the Police they said I need to go down civil route first and get a list of what is missing. If she doesn't respond then I need to file a report with them and they'll get her for theft.

The story is.. she told the ex who moved in after her that he can get rid of anything that is in there... so chances are most of my hardware and software have gone :(

This sounds totally bizarre. I wonder what the other side of the story is? A computer base unit is hardly huge anyway so quite why it's neccesary to 'store' a £1000+ item thats what, about half a foot by 2 foot by 3 foot, with somebody is confusing.

There is no other part to the story. She did it as a favour as I was unable to afford storage at the time.

I only have a small room at my parents as well and as we're trying to sell the house it's not just something my parents want 'lying around'

I told her a couple of months back I was making arrangements to move it. She was fine with me then. I don't honestly know what has changed and why she would tell someone to just get rid of the stuff.
 
OK.. here it is in full for people who aren't following.

12 months ago I move out of my house back into my parents. There were some things such as my gaming rig that we couldn't store at my parents house or in my room as they were trying to sell.

I explained this to my friend who at the time was still living at the house where my stuff is. I keep in touch with her every month or two checking if all was OK and when I spoke to her last a month or two ago all was fine when I had a conversation with her. I knew by this point she had moved out of the house and she gave me the number of the guy living there and she said to me that he was OK with the stuff being there.

She was a volunteer on a scheme I ran for a couple of years. I happen to know she had problems and she was booted. For reasons i'm not sure about and frankly don't care.

I rang her and emailed her today on numerous occasions. I phoned her off a LL to which she answered and said **** off and put the phone down.

I then rang the ex and asked him what the situation was. She has since told him to get rid of anything that they didn't want in the garage where it was being stored WITHOUT telling me that they were being disposed of.

Hence the situation now.
 
The PC itself is safe. Its the bed I had in there and some software/Blu rays etc and the monitors that were bubble wrapped in there more than anything.

Yes.. Hindsight is a great thing but as she said all was well I didn't worry!

Obviously been screwed over.
 
The guy has agreed to return anything that is left. Inc the PC. He doesn't know what else is left in there.

LIke I say Fox. Mother is selling our current house and my collection was too big to store. I can't put it any clearer.
