Missing money, did they take it?
I told my friend to keep my wallet in her purse while we were shopping, after forgetting to retrieve it I went home and thought i would get it the next day. I called my friend and she said that she had given it to my other friend assuming i would see her sooner. So i kept asking about it until finally a week later I was fed up. I called my friend and told her I was going to pick it up, but she said my other friend was going to take it and give it to me on her way home. However the next day my friend said she forgot to take it home and my other friend still had it. Today I picked it up while my friend was at a party (she was okay with me picking it up while she was gone). I looked inside and saw there was 20$ dollars in it, I had 26$ in it originally. They said they dropped my 6$ dollars. So now, I don’t know what to do. I already confronted them about it but do you think I should make them pay me back or just forget about it? 6 dollars isn’t alot, but isn’t it the principle?

i think they did
Principle: Don’t have friends you can’t trust with your wallet.
Just don’t trust them again and chalk it up to a lesson learned. Six dollars is a small price to find out what kind of a person you are dealing with.
If they lost it, they should repay you. If they stole it they should give u $15!
Tell those chicks to give you your dam money. Yes they stole your money. It’s not the amount its the principle. Don’t let people think they can do whatever they want to you.
Your friends are not really good friends. Good lesson – keep your wallet on your person.
One dollar or a million dollar; the principal of the matter is trust. It clearly sounds as if you were taken advantage of because of bond of friendship; that clearly goes on way. People you can’t trust, should not be considered friends. The stall tactic, and missing $6.00, is a strong indication. What’s next more lies and deceptions?
However; examine the situation a bit closer for possible explanations; that might warrant a sit down with open dialog. Friendship is a highly valued commodity.
these are not very good friends! do not mention the $6 again, but never trust them again. I would consider different friends.
First of all, it’s only six dollars. You will NEVER know whether they took it or not, because they’re not going to tell you.
Secondly, you have learned your lesson, and you should be thankful that it was only $6. I’ve had more money stolen from me from someone I was dating. From now on, either carry your own bag, or get a wallet that you can carry in your pocket. You know now that you shouldn’t ever trust these two again–not because they may have stolen a whopping $6, but because they took so long to get your own wallet back to you. If I had someone’s wallet, I’d make a special trip just to give it back.
What were these so-called friends doing in your wallet to “drop” the $6 out of it ??.. How convenient..
take it as a learning lesson, never give to anyone.. what you have a responsibility or concern for..Identity theft isn’t just all strangers doing either.
I think confronting them was wise, places them on notice so to speak.. they may not have been directly the party taking the money, as you didn’t witness, someone in the family or other since your wallet seemed to have legs of it’s own so to speak at times , may have done..
but, if me, i would never give to anyone else again… What else was in your wallet??? credit cards, important papers and documents…. if so , check your next bills and such.. or get new cards..
