Would you sue a friend for theft/property damage?

mr_fegelien

If your friend broke your expensive €2000 DSLR camera accidentally and refused to pay for it, would you be suing them?

What if they nicked a piece of jewellery from you?

FAMLEE

Depends.. how long have you been friends?

If they nicked jewellery from me or the missus, unless they were drug/drink dependant i would kick the absolute living shi1t out of them ensuring they would never walk again.

That's about three years in prison I'd say.

F*ck off with your bull**** threads. Happy new year.

Maybe.

Is it worth sueing for something like that though? You would want some solid evidence and witnesses and then you have to bother with the time off work. Then you have the risk that the case will fall flat on your face and you end up paying for yer mans legal fees. Better spending the energy on making yer man into a pariah

If its 4 or 5k of damage it becomes more worth the trouble

Even if drug/drink dependant. I'd be going to the guards.

Why not make an attempt to better him with some threads of your own?

You can go to small claims court for minor damage done to your property. The limit is €2,000. I'm not sure if that would cover your camera or not.

What about theft? Would you report on a friend that stole from you?

It depends what they stole. A tenner from my wallet? Nah, I'd ask them and if they denied it, cut them off. Got hold of my bank card and spent €1,000 online? Absolutely.

Well one of your "friends" has just stolen jewellery from you, so can you really trust the rest of them to be on your side.... Maybe they're all put to screw you for something.....

Then they are not my friend are they?

I wouldn't sue but the friendship is over.

Why would your circle of friends run to some farm yard animals?

It's a big stretch for us to imagine you having any friends.

If I was badly stuck for money I might but other wise I'd just try and brush it off.

You'd brush off two grand?

Anyway, looks like another wind up thread from the OP..

Normally I would probably agree with you Perse. There are far worse things someone can be doing than creating lots of threads that they don't contribute to on a web forum. Harmless enough, he could be out causing trouble to people in real life so what's the harm?...... Except when he asks other people questions like this

Burglary, theft, embezzlment, drug muling?

A serious question for you, if those crimes came to light and the DPP said that you'd definitely be getting a custodial sentence, would you kill yourself before going to prison

It's difficult to get me to say a genuine bad word about someone normally, I always have and hopefully always will try to see good in people and I will admit I am more than likely very biased here as I am in mourning over the suicide of beloved person in my life but an absolutely stupid, pathetic and trolling question like that was the moment I turned on this Fegelien fellah. He has said some very questionable things before of course and I never really cared because I never believed anything he has said. I think he is a troll and an absolute twat.


I have broken at least two Boards.ie rules in this post and will take whatever punishment the Mods see fit.

About 15 years ago, A friend and I went half on a camera (It's was about 500 euro each) we had dreams of making films together. He lost interest pretty quick
in making films and it tore a hole in our friendship. He took the camera out while on his quad bike and ended up smashing it. I never forget him coming round to my house, handing me the camera and saying to me hopefully, I can find someone to fix it. Our friendship didn't last long after that.
