since its OT, i can talk about anything right? hehe okay, here i go:

i have a friend (she's a girl) who's step-grandfather agreed to hold some stuff for his friend (dude) because he had to go to the hospital. ( stuff consists of an old sofa, really old stereo, some misc stuff) but friend says he only needs to hold it for a couple months (i guess 3-5 months) . well, turns out that the step-grandfater has had the stuff for quite a while, and the step-grandfather didnt want to keep the stuff, so he let my friend "hold" the stuff. unfortunately, step-grandfather dies. :\ however, dude comes back from the hospital after 4 freakin years and DEMANDS that he gets EVERYTHING back like ASAP. dude is like a lawyer n stuff so he's like really anal about this stuff. well, my friend lives about 2 hours from the guy, goes to school, but eventually she'll give anything back.

opinions?
 
Tell him that he broke his original verbal contract by leaving the stuff with your grandfather for an excessive amount of time. Tell him that if he wants his stuff, it's his responsibility, not yours, to retrieve it. If it is two hours away, tell him where your friend lives, and mention that he'll be able ot get the items there. Don't let him intimidate you - he has no real legal ground to ask for anything back since he originally broke his verbal contract.
 
nicely explain to him the situation and have him eather arange to pick it up / have it be shipped, or wait for her schedule to free up. as its his stuff its his responsibility to get it at his expense not hers. unless it has been damaged, in which case its a whole other monster.
 
no everything's fine, everything works. she's a college student, so basically that's her furniture and surround system (haha)

the stereo system is really freakin old, just a radio and 2 tape players. its even got like those funky equilizers where you can like adjust each and every end

she gave him back the stereo already, but its not like you can fit a sofa in a tiny red civic hatchback :Q

anyways, this guy's being a real d!ck, basically he wanted his stuff back immediately and i doubt if he really cared that the grandfather passed away. just something to post, that's all 😛

 
like I said.... tell him to go get the damn stuff. they shouldn't go out of their way to give it back, they did HIM a favor.
 
A gave stuff to B to hold for a couple months.
B ends up holding it for a long time.
B gave stuff to C to hang on to.
B dies.
A finally comes back and demands the stuff from C.
C can't get the stuff back to A.

Good so far?

Tell A he is SOL.

There was never a verbal contract since there's no consideration (we don't know the exact details of it but doesn't look like there is any) and the period of time was over 1 year. (Anything over 1 year needs to be in writing so no contract was ever made) The lawyer guy still holds ownership of those things. Your friend and that lawyer need to work out a place to meet and give him back the stuff.
 
Yeah, it's not her responsibility to take it back to him now, it's his to come get it. If he has a problem with that and wants to take her to court, let him. As soon as she tells the judge it's there waiting to be picked up, end of case. If he's a lawyer he should know better.
