    1. Has he asked for the money back?
    2. He shouldnt have used your name and address as the lead traveller.

    Your moral compass is seriously awry if you even have to ask this question (although I realise that's the point of the exercise ;))

    I haven't a problem with the poster- if you are asking whether you should steal, you need to go and have a really good think about who you want to be, and your answer will come.

    I have a problem with this being a money saving expert.com issue! I didnt realise you had stealing as a money saving option.OOOh that gives me ideas ...

    Can I be next weeks dilemma- my elderly neighbours have really nice stuff, and no dependants so its a bit wasted on them really so can I wait till they are asleep and break in? Please, I want nice things too.

    Clearly he made a mistake putting her as the lead passenger but she should give his money back, not wait for him to ask for it back because it's not her money. Simples.

    Absolutely no way :eek:
  • No, I think this is very clear.

    Your ex paid for the holiday, it's therefore his money. It would be extremely dishonest to keep it.

    :A

    money back to the chap i think
    :grouphug: Lets hug!! :grouphug:
  • Sorry, but that would be sneaky and wrong! So he got carried away, that's not a crime - keeping the money would be!
    Money can't buy you happiness, but it sure helps!
