This College Girl’s Friend Took Her Coat That Cost Well Over $1k And Lost It So Now She’s Asking The Internet If It’s Wrong To Make Her Replace It
An 18-year-old college girl has an 18-year-old friend who is the same age as she is. Her friend was over one night to study with her, and when the girls were done, her friend asked to borrow her coat.
“Afterward, she was going to a party and was in a tiny dress, so she asked if she could borrow my coat since it’s freezing out,” she explained. “I said sure, she can take the purple one on my bed.”
She didn’t watch her friend grab her coat, and she assumed she borrowed the purple one that she told her to take.
The following day, her friend sent her a text saying apologizing to her for what happened that night. Apparently, her friend lost the coat of hers that she had borrowed while she was at that party.
Here’s the problem though; her friend did not take the purple coat she told her to borrow…she took a black one she had lying on her dorm room bed because her friend thought it would be warmer to wear.
“The coat she lost was a Moncler, and I never would’ve let her take it,” she said. “I told her she could take my purple coat, which is the coat I take to parties since I’m not worried about it getting lost or stolen.”
Understandably, she’s very hurt that her Moncler coat got lost, and the reality is these cost well over $1,000; more like $1,600 to above $2,000.
Her friend went back to where the party was to look for the coat, but it was long gone.
She asked her friend to reimburse her for what her Moncler coat cost and her friend agreed. As soon as she told her friend how much that coat actually cost, her friend started freaking out.

Her friend insisted she did not know how much the coat was worth and she did not have any kind of money like that to pay for it.
“I said that’s not my fault since she shouldn’t have taken it, and she became hysterical when I said I want all the money paid back,” she continued.
She’s now wondering if she’s the worst for asking her friend to pay her back in full for the Moncler coat.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“And this is one of the early lessons she should have been taught as a child – basic responsibility.”
“She lost something that wasn’t hers and that she had no permission to use in the first place – of course, she has to replace it.”
“She stole the coat! She had permission to take the purple coat, not the black one, so she stole it.”
“You gave her permission for the purple coat. It’s her fault so she has to pay you back. People need to learn to ask for permission before taking people’s things, it would avoid situations like this.”
“She should have been better prepared, she caused all her issues. I would hold firm. Get it down in writing that she took your coat without permission.”
“She took something of yours and lost it. If you’d borrowed her iPhone or her laptop and lost it, she’d demand that you replace it. This is no different.”
“You didn’t even give her permission to take that jacket. She either realized it was more valuable and wanted to show off or she just wanted the one that better matched her dress.”
“Either way, she’s fully responsible for it. She needs to find a way to pay for it, even if it’s in installments.”
“She knew what she was doing. She took the other coat because it looked better. And she recognized that she was in the wrong when she thought it was a cheap coat.”
“She doesn’t get to wave out just because she realized how dumb she was….twice.”
