Last weekend friends were playing basketball and asked me to keep their stuff while they were playing (watch, ring, phone, keys etc.)
Today a friend called and said he forgot to get his ring off me?
Even though I placed everything beside me while I was sitting there, I can't recall if I did put the ring in my pocket. So just in-case, I told him I will double check my car and all my pockets (can't remember what I was wearing that day) and will let him know.
He said it was an expensive ring and apparently it is around $2k (didn't look what kind of a ring it was TBH, so can't judge on that).
When I got home today I looked around my car and my all my pants pocket and boom couldn't find it!
I told him and now he thinks i have lost it/kept it? and was asking me to pay for it!
I don't mind paying for it if i did lose it or it was totally my fault.
Still unsure whether I should pay or …?
Geez really hate these situations you can't win.
That's why I never entrust something expensive to someone. They might misplace, damage or lose it. Did he physically give it to you? If so, where was that last place you put it?
I don't think you're at fault. If he's willing to let you hold onto something that expensive, then he's careless and willing to risk losing it.
