It sounds like she admits it was his though, so I don't think it'll be a problem. She's just claiming ownership based on one year of possesion.

call the police and report her for thieft.

first send her ceritified letters demanding it back. get her on tape saying it is yours (such as have rher call you back about it and let the machine record it) etc.

Call the cops. And if that doesn't work, small claims court. Judge Judy!

 

[loup garou]

Does she live in the city? If I get it back from her is there a reward?

 

[ShowdOWN]

uhhh, take bring in your receipt for backup and take that sh1t back. whats so hard about that?

 

[Juno]

i have a solution, pay someone to steal her computer then swap the cases and throw away/sell the old case.

tell her you got a new computer because she wouldn't give it back.

 

[Platypus]

Street justice is the only answer

 

[spidey07]

heh, possesion is 9/10s of the law.

You may be out of a computer.

her at small claims court - "He gave it to me as a gift, I mean I've had it for over a year."

 

[Tiamat]

be a man and walk in and take it back?

 

[rezinn]

Sue her for $2800. Then see if she decides she needs to give it back.

 

[Siva]

Slash her ties and smash in her car windows. That's probably close to $1200 worth of damage, if not head to her home and make it personal. :evil:

 

[gsaldivar]

Never mix friendship/family and business.

I doubt the police will do anything since her obvious defense will be that you gave her the computer in return for editing services she performed. You're looking at small claims court if you ever want to see it again. Either pencil in a date at your local courthouse or chalk it up to a lesson learned, and move on with life. :beer: for you.

This is why he needs to record the conversation of her saying what was said in the OP.

1. grow some balls.
2. drive to the residence
3. pack up the computer

 

[y2kc]

do you have proof of purchase? if so, go and take your stuff.

In this day and age, that's a very stupid thing to do.

Girl: He attempted to rape me (or some other nonsense)

The OP was dumb enough to loan out a $3000 PC without any type of note saying it's just being lent out and not given as a gift.

 

[gsellis]

Call your local PD via the regular number and as an officer which would be the best way to handle it. Depending on local laws, they may say swear out a warrant or small claims. BUT, if they go the warrant route, they may have to hold it (which is why you should ask before executing...) Or have any friends that are lawyers in your state?

Steal the computer back, replace the hard drive (to remove an claims of her documents) and deny that she ever even had it in the first place.

The stealings is the hard part. It may be easier to murder her and dissolve her corpse in lime.

I saw that on CSI, the lime thing, I think you get rid of the body in acid, or maybe start a forest fire and put here in it.
