never getting my LPS back :(
hiii idk if this is the right place to put this but i wanna get it OFF MY CHEST to people who will understand, bc im so heart broken i have no words for it.
i (23f) live across the country from my little sister (18f) and we r logged into the same email and i noticed that she got a venmo notif saying “lps- 170” she doesn’t own LPS, only me and all mine are at my family home. so my heart drops, she knows i still care about them, and i would never EVER sell them (in fact, 2 days prior i was telling her i wanted to go through them when i visit bc i am very fixated on them rn) so she KNEW
i panic text her and she says she’s sorry but she can’t get them back bc the girl has a “weird bank account”. i won’t give explain the millions of twists and turns this story went because my sister lied a dozen times so i will only explain the truth that finally came out.
my sister stole my other sisters (20f) LPS 675 (savannah) and messaged some girl she was trying to be friends with (22f) and offered to sell it to her and give her some extras for a total of $125 plus hang out with her. the girl came over, got the LPS 675 and then saw all of my collection (which is like 40-50 pets total, most all are gen 1). and asked to buy them, my sister agreed and sold them to her for ONLY FORTY FIVE DOLLARS!!!!
so i try reaching out to the girl and very politely ask for them back and i offer to send her money back, (she originally said she couldn’t to my sister because she shipped them out) so i offered to pay for a shipping label and materials. when i found out my sister sold her the LPS 675, i decided, MAYBE if i offer the LPS 675, and give her the money back PLUS more she will give me my collection back.
i don’t care about the worth of the pets at all, i just want my childhood toys back and im so devastated, i’m across the country and there’s nothing i can do about it. i understand from the buyers perspective that she thinks she fairly bought something but, in reality she did buy stolen goods that have a value over a certain amount in the state they are in. so i could file a report but i really don’t want to because it’s a big hassle and i don’t want her in legal trouble over this to get them back.
i’m just sad and my hearts broken because i’ve lost trust in my sister and i fear i will never get my LPS back, im super depressed about this and i know that’s embarrassing bc im 23 but i’m also an autistic woman and these mean a lot more to me than the average person.
