Poll: Should I keep his stuff?

[Guitarmasterx7]

Keep it unless he contacts you. He obviously doesn't want it.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Yes, because fuck 'im. He has violated the sacred pact.

Spoiler: Sacred pact.

I'm not the type of guy to destroy anything I could find useful, although the thought of selling some of it has crossed my mind. Of course, it wouldn't be any time soon.

Learn to play that bass!

Oh I will. I love the guitar and I've always wanted to play bass. It's a very nice Ibanez.

OK. Hold on!
If it's an Ibanez bass, then KEEP IT!!!
They are absolutely brilliant bass guitars for learning, and eventually playing in a band (if that happens)

Also, I agree with most of the people here:
Just keep it, and when the ownership time limit runs out, sell it, destroy it in front of him, keep it, whatever floats your boat.

 

[iFail69]

keep everything, do not sell anything, maybe make some more attempts at contacting him. Use it while you have it, just don't break or sell it

 

[zombiesinc]

I would keep the stuff, and make good use of it. Hopefully when he realizes just how stupid he acted he'll come crawling back, and you'll finally be able to give him stuff back. I would imagine that would help him realize just how good of a friend you are, and have always been, which should help him apologize, and appreciate your friendship (whether you choose to continue your friendship or not is an entirely different matter) a hell of a lot more than he has been. And by has been I mean hasn't, at all, apparently.

Make sure you keep a record of your trying to contact him, save the texts or something, and keep it all but don't sell it yet. I believe it's legally yours after thirty days, but I would check the laws in your specific area before I went too far with that. If you can finds something specific on your area and it goes over that limit, feel free to sell it if you don't want any of it, or just keep it for yourself if not.

I'm not going to take your side of the story because there's no telling how much of this is exactly true and how much is changed by your opinion about the situation. But if he's not answering your calls or texts and he knows the stuff is still at your place, he doesn't want to come get it for whatever stupid reason, so you might as well treat it as your own now.

 

[mexicola]

Keep it, use it, if he doesn't come back he has nothing to complain about. Just don't go selling it.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

If he doesn't want it, or shows no interest in it, then I don't see why you shouldn't keep it.
Just don't destroy it, that's all.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Keep it, it's safer if one day in the near future he comes wanting it back, though in like a year you are well within your rights to sell it if you haven't heard from him.
But make sure to keep contact records (txts and call history - not even in your phone just photocopy your Bill).

 

[Artina89]

What I have to say is the same as everyone else, keep it use it and check how long he can leave his stuff before it is legally declared "abandoned".

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

If he wants it, then he can come get it imo.

 

[NBSRDan]

If he just hadn't specifically asked for his stuff back, a good samaritan would specifically try to give it back. You already did that by calling; you tried and failed to get rid of things, so now you're stuck with them (unless you sell them).

tldr keep

 

[Ekit]

Keep the stuff but don't sell it, incase he changes his mind and wants to have them back.

And maybe you should try to call him and get him to talk about you friendship? Maybe he won't ignore you if you call about that instead of his stuff? Maybe you hurt him when you (rightfully) scholded him?

I don't know what exactly he has done towards you and his former friends but he sounds like pretty shitty friend to me. But chances are he will be sorry when he brakes up with his girlfriend and that he will need someone when that happens.

 

[Bat Vader]

Snip

Why exactly did he start acting like that? Was he jealous someone was going to steal his girlfriend?

You have tried to call and text him but if he refuses to contact you back than I say you can do one of two things. 1. Drop all of his stuff off at the front of his house or 2. Take everything thing to a pawn shop or just sell it all online. He obviously does not care enough about the stuff to want it back.

 

[Ekit]

I probably would have slashed his throat if I saw his ugly mug again.

Why were you dating an ugly person?

(I'm not saying that all relationships are superficial but I think you need to have some sort of physical attraction towards each other)

 

[DigitalSushi]

Keep everything and feel free to use it, but don't destroy or sell it. That way, if he wants it back in a year or so, you can give it back, no problem, with his rental fee being you getting to use it.

If he still doesn't come after it in like two or three years, then it's yours. And I don't think any judge in the land would side with him if he went after you for breaking/selling it. If he doesn't try to get it back in that time, that is.

First answer is the bestest, although law of averages states that the expensive PS3 will explode while in your care, and you may have to pay for it.

As for similar stories, I gave my ex back his PS2 and games because I was gonna finish him in the next few days so he wouldn't be bitching and moaning at me. I couldn't find one of his movies at the time and then he started whining at me to give him that back and acting like a smug twat with, "You're coming to me with them =D then I can tell you what I think of you to your face."

I didn't for his own safety. I probably would have slashed his throat if I saw his ugly mug again.

Yay, I got my Cloverfield from my ex just yesterday, but we were civilised about it. Although her current boyfriend wasn't happy to see me because he's the jealous type.

Bonus round children, I just had some relegious types come up to me in the street, they said "Jesus Love you"
I replied "I know he told me last night", then I tilted my head and started blinking furiously.

Yeah, I agree with that, people who say personality is everything are usually lying.
I don't know. I probably found him attractive at one point. I don't know what it was, but I know it wasn't love.

LOL. I love you, yes.

Ok, long story short, a very good friend of mine met a girl and started acting like an ass(His first Girlfriend. We're both 23). He slowly started turning his friends into enemies, or cutting them out of his life completely. I was the last to go. We were like brothers, and I was loyal to him to the very end. I defended his actions, knowing that every amount of flak he was getting was well deserved.

When the time finally came for him to start his bullshit with me, I was nothing but honest with him about how he was treating everyone, and the fact that he had no(literally none) friends left. I was harsh on him, but it was nothing but honest.

Anyway, I have a few of his things. PS3 games and accessories, a computer, a bass guitar and an amplifier to go with it. I'd say it totals to around $600+.

I've called him many times and left him many messages, I've sent many texts over the last two weeks. I simply said that I had some stuff of his and he should come get it. I don't have a car so taking it there isn't an option. He's been ignoring the calls and texts.

I know he won't call me about it because he's afraid of what I'd say(I was extremely harsh to him), and probably scared of what I'd do to him in person(Nothing. That's not the kind of guy I am).

So, would it be right of me to keep all of it? Hell, if he doesn't care enough to contact me about it, he obviously doesn't care. I did my part, and he ignored me. All I can do is wait for him to contact me, which I can guarantee with 100% certainty will not happen.

Further discussion: Has anything like this ever happened to you? What did you do?

give me the bass to me, I'll use it for the good fight =D

 

[Zayren]

I'm probably going to be keeping a friend of mine's Halo: ODST because he's turned into a total ass recently, but I dunno if I'd do the same with all that much more expensive stuff.

 

[JokerCrowe]

Keep it. For now. He'll probably want it back when his girl breaks up with him and he comes crawling back to his friends. You'll just look after if for a while. And if they don't break up, well... you got a bunsh of free stuff!
