So for the summer I usually leave my TV with a friend since putting it in storage is expensive and I can't exactly take it on the subway to my uncles. I usually have friends staying on campus or that live nearby who offer to take it off my hands on the condition they get to use it (which I'm totally fine with.) Last Spring I was scrambling to find someone to take it when my neighbor at the time offered to help me out. When I came back to school this Fall we hung out a few times and spoke often. Phrases like "Oh, I have to get you your TV!" or "Hey let me know when I can get my TV back from you" were exchanged fairly often.
Cut to just now... I received a post on my wall of one simple word: "Fuck." Being that both of our lives are filled with drama I thought nothing of it and IMed her to see what the problem was. She promptly called me and informed me that her mother THREW OUT my TV.
Who the fuck throws away a perfectly good television? Especially without asking where it came from and if it belonged to someone.
BUT- here's the catch: she is not offering to replace it in any way. Granted I found the TV at school and "borrowed" it for free, but it is still of monetary value. Now, if I want a TV, I would have to buy a new one. To me, if you are responsible for someones belonging, regardless of what it is or how much they spent on it, and you lose it, you should do your best to replace it. No questions asked. Perhaps common decency is not as common as I would have hoped.

Is this that TV you "found" cough*stole*cough from storage downstairs? Since I hate it when people get things for free and I dont, then I feel like justice has been served. I recommend craigslist to find a cheap replacement.v
