Betrayed!

[Jazzy]

I have been helping a friend of mine. I have known her for over four years. I have let her stay in my home and even helped find her a job. Last night she called and asked if she could come over and talk to me. Of course, I told her she was welcome to come over and we could talk about whatever was on her mind. She came over and told me that her dad was being verbally abusive (he's an alcoholic) and asked if she could stay with me until she found her own place. I told she was welcome to stay in my apartment downstairs until she could find a place of her own. While she was here, I had to take a phone call and never thought twice about leaving her alone in my kitchen (where my pocketbook was). I took the call (which lasted about 20 minutes) and returned to the kitchen. Shortly after that, my friend said she had to leave and would call me today.



This morning, I discovered money from my wallet (about $250), my calling card and cell phone were all missing. The only way I discovered this was because I had to pay my volunteers this morning and the cash was gone! I then looked in my purse and saw my cell phone and calling card were gone too! I called her dad and he told me she came home last night, packed some things and left. He has no idea where she went. I called her job and she called in sick today. I had to disable my calling card and cell phone so she can't rack up bills using them. I now have to call the police and fill out a theft report.



I feel so betrayed and hurt that she would treat me like this after everything I've done for her.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Its never good when a supposed friend does that.

Holey crap! That sucks Jazzy

To think that she would do that to you after all the help that you have given her.... Blows my mind!

 

[stm]

Dam, that is just horrible. She treats you like what you did for her meant crap?



Do what the above poster said, please do. Either you do or I do.

 

[Cranos]

That really sucks. The story seems really strange though. She just vanished?

 

[Soulpulp]

She's in the past...take it one day at a time and keep yourself busy. Distract yourself with life and spend time with true friends.

Update:

She was found and arrested along with her ex-boyfriend two towns over in a motel room. The search of the motel room turned up stolen property, drugs and drug paraphernalia. Her ex-boyfriend is a drug addict and had recently been paroled before she stole from me and as I found out later, she stole from several other friends as well. I have no intention of ever seeing or speaking to this person again.

Awesome

I hope she goes away for quite a while

There should be a law about stealing from friends ¬__¬

As soon as I finished reading the story I had a feeling drugs were involved. Sorry you had to go through this.

You offer her a pace to stay and she returns the favor by stealing from you. Extremely disappointing, but let it serve as a prime example for what drugs will do to you. It's truly sad, because there are people out there that really do need a place to stay and for you to offer her a place to stay is just remarkable, but what she did is horrible, but with drugs in the equation, I'm not that surprised to be honest.

I'm really sorry to hear that

She really took advantage of you and that really sucks, you trusted her, you helped her and you did all that you possibly could to help her out and she just betrays you and uses you. You don't need that in your life, I think that it will be hard to get her trouble with the law, but I also think that it's the right thing to do so she'll learn.



It seems like everytime people are nice they get walked all over, used and thrown out like trash. It's pretty depressing actually, it makes people like you who are nice and generous not want to be nice anymore because others take advantage of you and walk all over you.



I'm sorry it happened to you, I could just imagine how pissed off you are/were, I mean you did all you could to help her out and she just stole, lied and betrayed you.



Then again at least now you know that she isn't worth your time anymore and that she doesn't deserve someone like you around.



*EDIT: I'm happy she got caught and I'm happy karma came back and bit her in the ass. She deserved every bit of it and I'm sure she regrets it now. Either way I'm happy everything got sorted out though! I still feel bad that she treated you that way.. you really didn't deserve that.

Moral of this story, Know yours friends, know your enemies even better.
