Hello! I posted in a different sub about this before, but I wanted to post somewhere with a little more detail and more specific questions for advice. February '23 (junior year high school): My situation starts with me lending a sweatshirt to a friend. It was a nice sweatshirt, like over $200. I didn't find myself wearing it out often, and I had a friend (I'll call him X) that would always compliment my sweatshirt when I was wearing it. I told him he could borrow it for a while, but I made it clear that I would want it back eventually. May '24 (senior year high school): I messaged X asking for my sweatshirt back. X went to a different school from me, so he told me he gave it to a friend (I'll call him Y). Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't see Y and I was unable to receive the sweatshirt back. December '24 (freshman year college): Since I didn't end up getting my sweatshirt back, I asked Y again in December. This time, he told me that he gave it back to X. When I asked X, he didn't answer my text for several weeks but then later got back to me and said he was on vacation. He told me he would bring it to the cafe I work at. However, when he showed up at my job, he told me he had left the sweatshirt at home. He ended up going back to college, so I just thought I would wait for the next break. July '25: I asked X to get my sweatshirt back again, but he replied that Y has had it in his city apartment. I was confused by this because Y had told me he gave it back to X, so I sent a screenshot of Y's message. X responded to me saying that Y has had it the whole time, which confused me. I ended up having a back and forth with both of them where I would text them and they wouldn't answer for days/weeks. Y told me he had left it at home, not his apartment and he would be back sometime in August. August '25: I asked Y if he was back and he didn't reply for two weeks, so I asked again and he just replied "Nah". At this point, I was so annoyed because they were both just being shady. I ended up texting X that as the person I lent the sweatshirt to, he needed to get it back and bring it to me by the end of this year. I told myself that if he didn't, I would consider reaching out to his older sister (who I met before and have on socials). I also decided that if the sweatshirt was not back by the end of the year, I would consider threatening legal action. While I don't actually believe legal action would go anywhere, I think it might be good to kind of make him feel the weight of the issue. However, his sister ended up showing up at my work and recognizing me, so I asked her about the situation. She asked me for a picture, and upon seeing it told me that X had taken it to college with him when he moved in earlier that day. A friend suggested I report him to his fraternity, but I feel like if anything happens, there would be social repercussions to reporting him there. So, would I be wrong if I report him? Thanks for any advice in advance!!
