(no subject)
So I just got back Friday. It's so nice to be home and away from those roommates. Good riddance. So I'm still pretty pissed though because I've had so much STOLEN from me.
First off: my leather jacket. Laura, Anthony, and I went to a club on St. Patty's Day and the coat check "lost" our coats. Laura and Anthony both had sweatshirts that were about $40. We put them sleeve in sleeve to avoid paying for three coats. They obviously saw and charged us for three but kept them together. When they were trying to kick us out at closing time we talked to one member of the staff and he said he'd check for us. He took our ticket to check so now we have no proof we were there. They wouldn't just take mine out because that would be suspicous. Losing all three is more likely. A manager got our names and numbers and descriptions of the coats and said he'd call the next day. He didn't. I called twice and left messages. Nothing. My dad said it's not even worth pursuing since we can't prove we were there. I was thinking of writing a letter threatening legal action. I'm assuming they don't have time to deal with that so maybe they'd just settle. I don't know. Anybody have any ideas?
Second: Some toiletries. Although not really important, it's the principal of the thing. It was some hair gloss, a clay mask, and a bottle of my favorite lotion that only comes out during Christmas (good thing I got two bottles hehe.) I think Ashley took these because one thing was missing before Brandy moved in. Plus she has some sort of hatred for me. The tone of voice she uses and the little nasty comments are enough to notice but too little to inquire on since she could just deny it. They're the kind of comments in which the actual words mean something harmless but the actual meaning is different. Plus I caught her in a lie once and she admitted it even though I actually gave her a chance to save face. She also took food from Brandy without asking and Brandy is missing something as well. I put a note on the fridge asking for them back. When nothing appeared I put up a more assertive note saying that I did in fact not lose them and that I wanted to be paid for them if they could not be returned. Still nothing. I think they each thought I thought it was the other one since I didn't act bitchy to them. So there's really nothing I can do about those.
Third: My bracelet. I mentioned it before and I also thought that maybe it was Brandy's perma-high girlfriend. So the night before I put up the note one the fridge I wanted to let Brandy know I knew she wasn't the one who took my stuff. Not only is she nice to me, but she trusts me with some really personal information. My intuition told me it wasn't her. So we talked about all these things that have happened with Ashley. That's when I found out about all her food and her missing set of vanilla body wash, lotion, spray. After a while her girlfriend comes over and we talk to her about the situation. Brandy was like, "Kim's missing a lot of stuff and we think Ashley took them." I mentioned everything but the bracelet. Her girlfriend was drinking water when Brandy said," She's also missing a white gold bracelet." At that exact moment her gf starts spilling water all over herself. Brandy just started laughing but it was too much of a coincidence for me to overlook. For a while I've been wondering if her gf had a key but neve saw her with one or coming in. The other day I actually saw her come in alone. She has a key and doesn't live there!! That's the last time I put something of any value out even for 10 minutes. I can't trust anyone who comes near my stuff who's not a really close friend. If anything that's what I've learned. You just can't trust people.
I got insurance for my belongings so hopefully I can get reimbursed for the bracelet. I guess the thing that bothers me most is not the material aspect. I just feel very violated having my things taken.
Well it's good to get that off my chest. I'm kind of tired so I'm gonna go but I'm glad to be home!
