if someone stole your psp....

**shizzle** · July 29th, 2005, 10:52

btw the way i seriously doubt he went on a trip. did yo know about this trip or did he say i'm going on a trip can i borrow your psp. He probably just asked for it and got it. his really showing you up here i wouldn't have this if i were you. You seriously need that back before he pawns it on. Think about it, would you keep a psp that someone is going to take or would you pawn it in for its value as a 1.50 and then buy a new one with proof of purchase, or get someting else. Trade it with a nother friend maybe. Think about it. Your time is ticking.

Was this the same guy who got you banned from all of you favourite forums by dising everyone in your name by anychance. Doesn't take a detective (me) to figure this all out. Own this n00b fast before he pwns you.

You must read my big post xuphorz it's critical to your sucess in retrieving the psp. It will change your view and make you understand unlike a lot of the personal stories and opinions (which gave me much intrest whilsyt reading) it lays out a strategy for you. Use it now whilst you have time. This will be one of the things you look back on and regret if you don't do it. ive had experiences like this and if i didn't act i would seriously regret that now.

I would kick his ass and burn his house down.

End of.

The old brutality and arson method. Yeah that could work too if you wanted to go to jail I suppose

If anything else just visit the friend I have a friend that used to rob me blind. I would just go to his house and steal it back usualy in the guise of comeing over to play a new game I rented or whotnot.

The emulators are all the latest versions I keep up to date.

If he's so certain he purchased this PSP, ask him to generate a reciept. If he is stupid enough to purchase a $250 piece of hardware and not keep the reciept, how about the box? The accompanying headphones? The little white strap that comes with it? The user's manual? You don't buy a psp, take out the system, and throw the entire contents of the box away as soon as you purchase it.

As for his parents talking to you / your parents, the evidence is all on your side bro. Take it back and have a man to man with your "friend". Tell him about why you're friends with him in the first place and let him know if he's gonna pull this kind of $#@! he won't be borrowing your stuff anymore.

Its yours take it back.

Are you sure he didnt just borrow it without asking because he knew you had 3 of them? and the whole story about leaving it in the hotel was just him messing with you.....idk if i borrow somthing from a buddy somtimes ill make up a story that its boken just to see them sweat a little....and they do it to me....idk maybe its just me and my friends.

it seems like your pretty cool with the kid and it just seems od that if youve known him since the 4th grade he would just steal stuff from u and not pay u back.....hey maybe youll have a PS3 on your doorstep the day it comes out from that kid LOL. maybe him stealing it is an investment like that GBC

Look I know everyone is tell you the same thing, maybe if your worried about your parents you should tell them what he did first so they know and like I said bring out the records of purchase for everything. He will not be able to do so.

Now I am going to lay a very hard truth on you, he did not give you a GBA he bought, I can tell you that because I had a friend like this, the reason you got that GBA is because he stole it from someone else who found out he had it and was comming after him. If he gave it to you then he no longer had it and was clear.

Now you need to STOP right here and see the morality of this, this guy is a stealer and has been getting more and more agressive with what he steals. he steals from you constantly and he is friends with you no doubt because he knows you get things he can take. You need to stop him because of 2 reasons, the obvious is that its wrong but the second is that if you truely care for him as a friend, he is going to do this to the wrong person and they are going to put him in jail or worse, they are going to kill/hurt him badly. Look at everyone's reactions here, you can see that much to be true.

You need to stop this, he needs to be caught so that hopefully he will stop, its the only way.

This is EXACTLY what you should do:
1)Get your purchase record for that PSP, Get the box and everything that comes with it. (Head phones, I mean everything)

2) Tell your parents everything, make sure you let them know what has happened. Just tell them you are going to g o get it back but do not let ANYONE else know. You do not want him giving it away because you are coming after him.

3) Take everything with you, you can even tyake your parents if it helps, and go over there. (Me personally I would go alone as a friend, swipe the PSP (YOUR NOT STEALING READ THE REST!) Then go straight home and COME BACK with YOUR PARENTS and all the above stuff. Let his parents know what happened and show them the reciets and box it came in. Show them everything it came with and tell them you can prove its yours with the serial number, the Nickname and the purchase record. Also in the case he removed them, use the box as evidence. Ask him what came in the box and where the assesorys are (Head Phones, Controller for the Head Phones, The Demo Disc, The Cleaning Cloth, The Strap, everything esp if you bought a bigger Memory card show that to and ask where the original is and how he transfered data to it if he does not have the usb cable) He did not buy it so he is going to try and make an excuse as to why he has it.

4) If your still having problems tell his parents about the PSP you let him borrow (remember your parents are there you are safe) and that he forgot it, then tell them he should have replaced it if he bought a new one, again show the record of purchase and show the 250.00 price tag. Show them everything, they will not be able to say much, I promise the cops would never arrest you for anything like thing you have proof he does not and you have him admitting he took ur PSP and lost it. (his parents will remember him having one on the trip, parents remember when their children are quite on trips and when they are easier to handle/give them time to them selves lol trust me its something they lose as soon as they have them, I'm a dad I know this).

I would be 100% happy to help you do this if you were in Tucson, AZ I would help you every step of the way.

I am not sure of what u mean by your rep here but honestly I only see u as someone who cares about the system. LOL Ur the other HELP EVERYON person lol. If you want to talk to someone who has been through these things, give me a call. (PM me I will send u my cell number or if you want to Yahoo Chat or anything) I know how it feels and i know there are probably things you have kept to yourself. I understand and will do nothing but help you. But you have got to stand for something, people will seem like the nicest person you have ever known, etc but if they have another agenda thats all they will be thinking about. You have to be careful. I have had quite a few things blow up in my face because I try to help friends, it does not mean you stop trying but it does mean you walk away, they are not your friend and thats not why they are around you. You are a tool, a use to them, nothing more.

Xuphorz read these huge advice posts. They maybe meaty but i think we all want to see you get your 3rd psp back. In the big ones the origin is always the same. Take it first before he knows. This way he can't run or hide the psp. You will always have the upper hand this way. Tell your parents before or immeadiatly after so they can back you up, after only if they might not want you to take it first without him knowing, this depends how much you want it to get emotional/personal if they comewith you and try to get it back politley. i personaly would get it back for sure before i bring the emotions into it as he is/was your friend.

Good luck man, tell us more about your prefrences and we can help you get it.Remeber there will be no cops full stop, unless you kill him or something stupid.
