cahgirl87 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Just wanted to get a bit of frustration out. I recently was lending out a bunch of items for people to get basic avvies. I had several items stolen from me in the process (including, 10 codestones and a Maractite Cord). It's so annoying that people take advantage of others that are trying to be nice and help them out :sad01_anim: Anyways, it's kind of made me nervous about lending items out now so I think I might postpone future lending until I get my neopoint count back up high enough that it won't impact my account very much if items do end up getting stolen. Anyways, if you have similar experiences feel free to share :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimii Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That's such a bummer! Were you not asking for collateral?? If I were in the position to lend and I didn't know the person there would have to be collateral for sure. I'm a lendee but I always return my items. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahgirl87 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was only asking collateral for a couple of the higher priced items, although the collateral was pretty low (atleast I think). I asked 10,000 for the codestones, so I lost about 20,000np when those were stolen and 2,000 for the Maractite Cord, so about 2,000 was lost on that. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. Through lending I have also met several very nice people that have lent me items to get avatars. Someone actually sent me the Fire Paw card and (oh, I forget what it was called...The scroll of dark nova, I think). I didn't even ask them, they just saw that I was trying to help others by lending and deemed me worthy enough to share her items with me :) I thought that was incredibly nice of her. So even though there are people out there that like to ruin things for others, there are many good hearted people out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimii Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I actually got lended the Fyora doll for less than than 900k and the girl didn't even know me, so when I sent it back I also sent her a NC cash item as a thank you! :D If you have any of the high priced items like Chokota TCG I am looking to be lent! :D Still, sorry about people ripping you off. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livvy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 In answer to the topic question: For the exact same reason people hijack neopets accounts. It makes them feel powerful to know they can take virtual items that aren't theirs. That, in my opinion, is incredibly sad and pathetic, but there will always be people out there like that, and they will always ruin things for other people. It's sad. Good luck getting your NP back up! You're doing a good thing. :) If you ever need to be lent, we have a lovely lending program here. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't have any of it anymore.. haha! It took me a couple months of scrimping and playing Key Quest soooooooo many times a day! D: I spent it all on other avatars so now I have close to nothing! Teehee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qtpie6108 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I had my FQD stolen. The person played with it with a skieth and then wouldn't even give me the torn up doll back. I reported her and she got froze. Since then I've only really lended to guild members, sometimes I'll lend my meowy out to others but only if their account looks trusting.
