What to do?

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 still dont understand whats happened???

you stored some expensive stuff with a friend who you don't contact much, she moved and let her friend get rid of some of your stuff????

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.

Well there is - there must be a reason why she would have done what she has done. She didn't do it for no reason whatsoever?

Ok but unless your small room is quite literally the cupboard under the stairs there must surely be room to store a PC base unit - even if it just sits in ugly-fashion beside the wall or something surely its of high enough value you'd want to keep it?!
 
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.
 
Unless she has a written agreement that the goods are hers, denial of access to those goods is an act of theft. It would be up to her to prove that you gave her those goods with no intention of their return, which would be almost impossible. Basically, she owes you either the goods, or what the court determines to be their value.

Edit: Also, did her ex not mention why she was angry at you?
 
Ok let me make some assumptions on the missing parts of the story...

I'm guessing that you used to live with the girl but it didn't work out and you moved out. But you're mum didn't have the space for you to setup the computer or store your bed, etc. So you left it at your ex girlfriends for a while. I am guessing that she has been asking you for some time to take them away because she now has a new partner and wants to get on with her life. You've now found somewhere else to store it all but she has already got rid of some of your stuff.

???


edit: Took too long typing this on my phone... full story now coming out above.
 
So you knew 2 months ago that your stuff was no longer in her care but in the care of somebody you'd never met? At this point did the alarm bells not ring?

This is what i mean, there is ALWAYS something more to the story. I think I'd rather store my PC base unit in the boot of my car than leave it for over a year in a house I had no access to with somebody who'd moved out anyway! How can space be so tight that there isn't room at the side of the room on the floor for a PC case? It's value alone must have been more than the rest of the kit?

Whose ex? :confused:
 
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.
 
She gave you the contact details for him. So did you contact him at that point and what did he agree to?

This is bizarre.

Can you not take the bloke to the small claims court?
