Ok so here is whats going on. I have a buddy(call him buddy A) that i went to high school with that left his sound system for his car(2 subs/box/amp) at my house the beggining of our senior year(05-06) Ok so it stays in the garage.....fast forward to two months ago.(btw this whole time i have been telling Buddy A to come get his stuff) I had a buddy(buddy B) that helps me work on my car alot use the stuff to put in his truck. Fast forward to last week: my buddies truck catchs fire and burns to the ground w/ all the sound equipment in it....so today Buddy A calls me and tells me he wants his stuff by the end of the day. So i tell him the whole story about what happened and he flips out and tells me that i owe him $300 bucks(even tho the guy he is sellin it to is paying $180???) so i talked with some ppl including a lawyer and apparently after 90 days it becomes abandoned property and by law it was mine anyways.(legally) because he was not paying storage fees.

::Cliff Notes::^^^
guy leaves stuff at my house for 3 years
i tell guy to come get for 3 years
stuff burns in fire
guy suddenly wants his stuff back
guy tells me i owe him money


BTW: in case it matters its 2 OLD 10" kicker cvr's, a kenwood 800w amp, and a thin box for the subs.

so what i wanna know is what would you do?
should i say screw it you should have come gotten the stuff?
or should i replace it w/ = value audio components
i just wanna do the right thing
what would you do???

If your friendship is to the point of him to bitch over old property then it should be at the same point to where you can say fuck it i dont owe you nothing.....
X 2

or for a more warm and fuzzy solution, take the "real, today" value of the equipment and splt the cost three ways.

i got the same problem with 'buddies' leaving shit here...
from 2 tractor trailers, cars, motors =even boxes of dishes...... if it's not my stuff-i don't even think about selling it & i never throw shit away. (recycle or sell)

untill... i stub my toe on it or can't find a place to put my own stuff.

~ if i tell the mf's to come get it- and they don't- that makes it MY STUFF (unless said friend has good excuse not to get it or no place for it yet- but if they say "yeah, i'll be there saturday" and don't show up- f 'them-....). no lawyers, no cops.... i proudly list it on craigslist and send them the link- and i DON'T give them shit if they haven't been straight with me...

you've done nothing wrong- f the x-friend. 3 years is just too long, and looks like you did your part to make it right for a long time... what the hell was he doing for 3 years anyway? school? he probably got wind of the stereo being sold from someone else (another 'good' buddy) then wanted some fast cash at your expense
don't give him anything since he's being a dick about it.

what else did he leave? any da or civic parts?-hahaha

ha if he wants to keep being a dick im just gunna have my lawyer write him a storage bill
i bet he forgets all about those subs when he sees that thing
my $.02- i wouldn't invest one more second of my time or pay what it costs to get a letter sent 'splainin it to 'mr. dick' - unless you got the laywer 'hook up'

won't this cost you somethin?
