Lent my $300 camera to my friend who lives in a group home?

Question

And she moved away, she said she gave it to this other girl to bring it back to school the following week (which also happens to be the end of school) and the next Monday the girl claimed not to know anything about the camera. Then she also moved out of the group home. All I know is that my friend is somewhere in Arkansas. Who can I contact to get it back? What should I tell me parents? It's been like 2 months since school's been out and I still don't know what to do.

Answer 1

You should notify your parents that your "friend" stole your camera. They should notify the school and file a police report.

Next time check with your parents before you do something stupid, they will advise you not to do it. You knew you should not have done it or you would not have kept it a secret. Don't mean to be ragging on you just trying to make a point.

Answer 2

You can't get it back. Either (or both) of the girls in question could be lying to you. You don't know who has your camera, as it could be in the possession of a third, forth, or any number party. It may have been sold 20 odd times by now. The possibilities are endless.
I just hope you learned something from this, to make it all worth while.

Answer 3

Tell your parents, and contact whoever runs the group home. Ask the other girl if she has your friend's contact information, and verify with your friend if she did indeed give the girl your camera. Inform them both that you will be alerting the police to your missing camera, and they may be questioned - that way you're not directly accusing them of stealing, and it still gives them the chance to "find" your camera and return it to you.

Answer 4

I would start with the group home if you are both under the age of 18 i would get the parents involved..if not then take it as an expensive lesson..ultimately it is her responsiblity..ie..you sue her you can be compensated..if she really did give it to her friend she can seek compensation from her friend..personally i would write it off as a loss..

Answer 5

Your camera is gone.

You have already been chastised to lending something that valuable to someone in a group home. Even if you trusted your friend, you can't trust the other's living there.

Answer 6

SEARCH HER FAMILY in your city, they should tell you where she is, ask to other friends of her.

Someone is lying to you, so when you can put them together and ask, where is the camera, you will discover who is lying.

My Grandmother with 97 years old, always says, do not len anything, they will steal, or damage, and iTS TRU! it always happends.. its also very common this kind of history when you lean something and they give it to another person instead of giving it back to you.

Good luck

Answer 7

Huh. What a coincidence! I lent $600 to a homeless man, he promised he would pay me back the following week, but I went to his corner, he was gone! Even his shopping cart and the cardboard box where he usually slept were gone! Go figure!

Answer 8

with friends like that, who needs enemies.


This may be cruel, but the next time someone wants to borrow something like this, tell "em, "buy your own.." That's what you had to do, isn't it???

If you feel ripped off because you loaned something to someone and they turn their back on you, there's a place for you in the Republican Party.

Answer 9

Honestly, I think you've lost your camera. Hope someone has some advice for you. But I think you need to tell your parents what happended and take the heat.
