My friend has a valuable item of mine and won't give it back


Question Posted Tuesday July 31 2012, 11:29 pm

I was really good friends with this girl, and one day my mom almost found out that I smoke weed, so I asked my friend to babysit my bong and bowl for a week or so until my mom's suspicions cooled down. Since then our friendship has turned into mostly bickering and it's been about 4 weeks yet she still hasn't returned my things. I've tried numerous times to set up a day and time for me to swing by and pick them up, no questions asked and just be on my way. But she always has an excuse...she's out, she's busy, her parents are home. But I can tell they're all just excuses. The past few days she has just completely ignored me.

What I want to know is if it would be considered harassment for me to knock on her door and ask for my things? And if her parents answer and she's not there, I tell them she has something for me in her room?

By the way, I'm 19 years old and a sophomore in college so I am old enough to be making my own decisions. If you're even going to criticize my marijuana use, please don't bother responding. Your opinion will not make a difference in my choice. Thank you!

OK no criticism included.
Reading your question again reminded me that I know nothing about weed or drugs anyway. So why am I answering your question? The tone of your question seems to be that your friend isn't returning your 'bong and bowl' because she watns it for her own use, (I may be wrong, perhaps you don't suspect her motives at all. I apologise if I'm misreading the situation.)
I'd like to suggest another possibility. You say that criticism of your choice is unacceptable and my opinion will make no difference to you. That's fine, why would you respect the opinion of a total stranger who knows nothing about you, who wouldn't worry if you fried your brains for Sunday dinner?
I think your friend is trying to tell you something. Think hard about it.
Best wishes, XX.

If she isn't your friend and you don't want to be her friend. If she has no dirty secrets, lies, or anything else you don't want the world to know on you. Then I would just sneak to her bedroom window when she's not there maybe get inside look around see if she has the bowl with weed in it leave it and call the cops on her :) bet ya $20 bucks she won't keep your stuff.

It wouldn't really be harassment if you just knocked on the door and asked if you could get your things. Just do the "I was in the area" thing.

But, don't actually harass her. If they call the police, then they won't be able to help you much because what you are trying to get is something illegal. It's like robbing a bank, and then complaining that someone stole your get away vehicle.

But if she decides not to give it back, just get over it. There is nothing you can do, except be nice to her and just hope she gives it you back. If all else fails, just buy a new one!

Good luck!
