I have been in this situation several times i think but the most hurtful one was when a man who my family had known for years, died suddenly. About a year or so before he died, he had bought a wee mini jukebox from me(he was a bit of a wheeler dealer type of guy)and he always told me one of his daughters loved it and wanted it for herself. Anyway, after the funeral, his son phoned me and told me he wanted me to have the jukebox to remember his dad by, i did suggest he give it to his sister who had like it etc but he insisted. End of story you would think? NOOO. Next thing i know, i mentioned what had happened to my dad and he said he heard i had ASKED FOR IT!!!! So there was someone out there claiming i had went looking for this jukebox just after someone died!! I was horrifed but no matter what i said, the damage was done!!
As for the jukebox...its lying at various places in my house, not being used, taking up space... but i feel i need to keep it now.

Scottie322...this isnt recent, it was maybe around 2 years ago, i did try at the time to get hold of the brother and straighten it out but he must have gone back to England and i couldnt find the sisters either, i sometimes see one of them passing in the car but i have no clue where she lives. I was not asking to resolve this, i posted this question really just to see how many others have had similar situations.

Also soundadvise..i didnt know this was being said until after i recieved it back and by then it was too late to refuse it. I took it as it seemed to be important for me to do so by the son. As for the amount, i think that would have been insulting to bring it to that!

Emotions run high especially after family funerals.
Things get said that should not of been other things are said to clear the air.
If it takes you to give the jukebox to the sister to make the peace then that is up to you.
I have been accused of saying things I had not but most people believe me as its not my style to cause problems.
Those who still don't believe me then don't matter to me as they do not really know me so I am not upset by what ever they say as I know the truth.

You should have insisted on buying it back - after all the dead guy did give you money for it to begin with - then the money would have went to his estate and you would have the check to prove you paid for it.
If you didn't want to pay for it - you could have simply said " No thank you - I can remember ( insert dead mans name) without owning something that belonged to him. But it was nice of you to offer"

Sadly the old saying applies in most of these type of cases.
Where there is a will there's relatives....Where there's no will there's even more relatives.
People are often jealous even when they are not directly involved.

Unfortunately is seams as though you have done all you can to clear your name. This best you can do is continue to claim your innocence.

Yes. When you have little siblings it happens all the time.
