So, why would somebody wanna steal Tim's bag, rip the patches off and hand them out to their friends and then lie about it? That's just mean, especially because Tim is a very sincere and timid person. He also attached sentimental value to his patches. Luckily, Elise has one of the patches and it will soon be in the possession of the rightful

Maybe listen to my side? Since, you are talking about me.

I didn't have any clue whose bag that was. It had been at 4star for the longest time, as in, 6 weeks. Danya was going to take it, and I was just using it. If I had known, at all, that the owner would ever show up again...I wouldn't have touched it. Really. I would hate that. I felt horrible when I found out who it belonged to, as Tim has always been extremely nice to me. He's just a nice guy. I didn't know it was his, and I didn't know "the owner" was ever going to claim it. Believe me, I have had bags stolen, with all my stuff inside, and I would never knowingly steal. I thought the bag was abandoned. If I ever saw Tim, or had a way to get ahold of him, I would've apologised by now. As far as lying about it, I don't know who I've "lied" to, but I'm sorry if I did.

Point being, I didn't know, and I'm sorry. I would never steal from anyone. I've been ripped off before, and it just isn't right. I might still have the patches, and if you can get me Tim's email, I can get them back to him. I'd probably leave them at 4star or something. It was a bad thing to do, now that I know the facts. You have to understand, though, that I didn't know any owner was ever coming back for it. Honestly, I wouldn't have done that, especially to someone I know and like.

Elise knew the situation, or as much of it as I knew, and she asked for the patch. Yes, she asked for it. And, thinking it didn't belong to anyone anymore, I gave it to her. I didn't steal someone's bag, rip off their patches, and hand them out to my friends. I thought I was inheriting a bag for a few days that someone else had abandoned, taking the patches off, and making a friend happy by giving her the one she wanted.

It is mean. I understand his patches having sentimental value, I have a lot of things that have special meaning. Shame on me, but I didn't know, or it wouldn't have happened. It wasn't "easy to disrespect him" since I didn't know. I didn't know anyone was ever coming back for it, or I wouldn't have touched it. It cost me my job, didn't it? If I had known anyone at all in the world would care, I wouldn't have touched it. But, (obviously), Tim cares, and 4star cared, and I was dealt with accordingly.

So. I'm sorry for disrespecting a friend of ours, and I'm sorry for giving you all the impression that I would just steal your belongings and fuck them up. I can only hope you believe me, as I have told the truth. I mean, why would I want to lie?

Hopefully this hasn't cost me my friendship with any of you.

no it was more like 2 weeks 5 days. you were given several chances to come up with the patches. hell i even went to bat for you by saying to cody that for what it is worth you shouldnt be fired.... and you knew the lost and found things needed to be there for atleast a month or longer depending on how packed it becomes. you know why so many people are angered by this and why you have had to hear a whole lot about it. it is because it was me. i have earned the utmost respect from manyy people due to my caring generous stand offish nature. i truely love and care about all people regardless of whpo they are and their situations. i have earned this respect..... by being me. i have not told anyone to say a thing to you. all i ever asked was for the patches back... when someone gives me something it automatically becomes very sentimental to me... my attic is full because of this. some of those patches came from scottland. and, well it doesnt matter if i could replace each one of them. it is not the same.... it is not those patches in particular. i need those patches... ya know what else. i would and still would be more than happy to get you your own bag and patches. all you had to do was not even ask... just comment on them and i would have picked up on it. and surprized you with the stuff t omake your own.

but lets not exaggerate things it was not in the lost in found too too long. no where near 6 weeks. i know this is true. i remember when i left it up there. eden wanted to look at it. drew asked me to go have a cig went out to have the cig then went home forgettign the bag. as i have done with many things... i am way a d d. i would forget my car keys if i didnt need them to start the car.

all is forgiven though. i hold no grudges, but i would like the patches back. they are very dear to me...

lots of typos. oh well

I didn't pick up on exactly how long it was there, but that doesn't matter I guess. I am sorry, and I regret what I did. That is saying a lot, since I don't regret things in life - I learn from them. I have definitely learned from this, but I still regret it. I know that you are a wonderful person, I could tell from the minute I met you. It radiates off of you. You are sweet and caring, and I never ever would have done something so horrible to you. Or to anyone else. I believe in a karma of sorts, not necessarily what everyone else means when they say karma, but still. I do not steal for a couple of reasons, one because it is wrong and I couldn't live with it, and for another I believe that if I stole, say, a cd from someone's house that I would get that bad energy back. I have had bags stolen, full of my belongings, and cried over it. I would never intentionally do something like this, and I feel terrible still. I should never have taken it, and I should never have even thought of taking it. I am ashamed of what I did, to be honest. I found the patches while cleaning Friday, and I will do my best to get them to you. I am also emailing my response to you. I don't recall being given several chances to come up with the patches, but I won't say that didn't happen. I am quite forgetful as of late (april/march), and I have a difficult time remembering things. I've just had an MRI to try and figure out what is wrong. That might explain somewhat why I haven't gotten you the patches. I didn't know the exact length of time for items in the l&f, but all the same I'm smart enough to know I just shouldn't have touched it. And I am again, sorry.

I hope we can get past this bad occurance, and mayb
