    Well it would put you in the same position. If he wanted his stuff back he'd have to take you to court, just as you'd have to take him to court for the money.

    I guess the question is, do you want his stuff or do you want his money?

    She wants him back obviously.
    keeping the items or the debt, keeps some kind of connection.

    If your neighbour keyed your car would you think it was fine to throw a brick through their living room window? It's the same principle - him breaking the law doesn't mean you can.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    No, but if I had a gold brick of his, Id hang onto it until he paid me for the car repairs..

    He came and collected his stuff from the shed today. I went out. He left no money, I'm not surprised but at least it's all over and I have kept my dignity.

    When one owes money and they are out of your life, think of it as money well spent :cool:
