Someone bought pretty much everything in my apt. dishes, silverware, sofa, flat panel tv, furniture (bed, desk, coffee and end tables), lamps playstation 3, and now they are mad at me. they claim they have receipts for all of it but i know they don’t have the receipts for some stuff, and threaten to bring the sherrif and take it all back b/c they are mad at me. i have always heard possetion is nine tenths of the law, if so they can’t take my things, at least not before a court ruling right?
They furnished my apt as a nicety to me. they told me they didn’t want me to work because i am in school and they wanted me to do well. now i have made them angry and they want the things back, but they have been in my apartment for over 6 months, most of it anyway, and all of them were bought for me as gifts… i have friends that can testify the things have been here forever and the dates on the receipts will speak for themselves. the things were bought for me, have been maintained by me, and are in my apartment. I am the only name on the lease and these items did not belong to a former roommate, i pulled the plastic off of all of it.
