hey guys, im going to try to keep this as short as possible, but i want you guys to know all the details.
so i have this friend, who we all call chav,he is one of my best friends. he comes over probably 2 to 3 times a week and we like to drink beer, watch baseball, and play video games. since baseball season started, we usually use the xbox one to watch the games, and then we keep the wii u on so the amiibos can fight.
its basically me and my wife who live here by ourselves, and this guy is the only friend i have who ever comes over. and no, he isnt my only friend because im just a rotten asshole like most of you might guess. i am 26 and finishing up three degrees, so i dont hang out with a bunch of friends like i used to.
so thats all the backstory, now here is where the weird stuff starts kicking in. we are bored one night (this year) and we are figuring out what game to play, and i was like, "well i still have mario 3D world i still need to 100%" i look for the game and its fucking gone. i immediately knew what happened. i knew he stole my game. fast forward to this morning, and i have a wild hair to count my amiibos. 4 are missing, and i knew that he took them out of my house.
ok, so you might be wondering, how can i be sure it was him aside from the fact that he is the only other person who ever comes over? well, i have another good friend who has a group of friends who gets together and plays mario kart wii at least once a week. chav is someone they invite over because he really likes mario kart. well one time, he took a wii, metal gear solid 5 (it had literally just come out that week), and a 360 controller with black thumbsticks. he comes in the next morning and sells it at the store i work at. my friend had told me that he suspected chav of stealing these things, and i confirmed that i had all the things that were missing. so clearly he does this kind of thing.
so what should i do guys? first of all, what do you think i could do to get my game and my four amiibos back? i really would like to have them. just so you guys know it was samus, luigi, kirby, and yoshi. nothing that is really a big deal, considering i have all of them. three out of the four of those i know he doesnt have, so thats a possbile motive. anyway, what should i do? :/
i know a lot of you would suggest to never have him over again and declare ourselves as not friends anymore, but i think close human relationships are a little more complicated than that. first of all, i kind of feel bad for him. i think he has a problem, and i do genuinely care about him and would like him to not be like this anymore. also, i would like to have my stuff back, so any ideas on how i could go about that would be appreciated. this sucks so much ass.
UPDATE 1.0
26, April 2015
ok guys, so after a couple weeks, some new things have transpired. first of all, i want to mention that me and chav are great friends and we have another mutual friend, and the three of us are really close (i mentioned this somewhat in the OP). i will be referring to this other friend as "Marty" since he plays the character marty schwartz in our hot pop videos.
so what happened is that chav was ignoring me, and all the while he was still texting our friend, marty. it got to the point where marty told him that he needed to get back to me. as soon as he sent chav that text, he started to ignore marty as well.
so the days pass, and we discuss every couple of days what the hell is wrong with him, and wonder why he acts like such a freak. fast forward all the way to yesterday, and i decide to finally text his dad. ive given chav half a month to resopnd to me, but it got to the point that his dad needs to know what is going on. chav's dad has told me in the past to be a good friend to him because of something he was going through (still dont know what the hell it was). so i told him that chav has stolen some of my stuff and he has been ignoring me and my wife (who chav loves to hang out with), and marty (who he also loves hanging out with). i told him that we just want chav to admit what he did and confront this situation. if chav can do that, then we can go back to being friends, and having fun. but he needs to deal with whatever is going on that causes him to do these things. i told him that we will always be here for him whenever he decides to come out and communicate whatever he needs to communicate.
so basically a few hours pass, and i get a call from his dad explaining to me that he got my message and chav's mom decided to have a talk with him. he talked to him in his room for about 20 minutes, and then later went back to find a note that said, "nobody understands me. i am going to do what i have wanted to do my whole life."
his parents are concerned, and so is marty. i am not as concerned, because i really dont believe in the depths of my heart that he would kill himself or anything. i feel like if he were going to commit suicide, then there would be a more detailed note. but i want to know what some of you guys make of this? i have no idea what i should do? i dont think he has anywhere to go, but he is so secretive, i guess anything is possible. if he ever goes back to his parents, i will know right away because they will tell me, but i dont know how many days have to pass until i get worried. i mean, i expect him to return maybe today or tomorrow. anyways, i want to know your guys' insights because last time there were some pretty good ones.
