[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was not in the for common use by all shed. It was in the do not use if you don't own it shed. They decided to ignore the family beach house rules. They should pay to replace. [/quote]

I think everyone agrees the cousin should have paid (or better yet, followed house rules in the first place). The issue is, since the cousin didn’t do the right thing, should the DH have had an argument with him about it, to the point where one of the generous owners gets involved? It turns a relatively small thing into a Big Thing. [/quote]

Agree.  The fact that OP's response triggered intervention by one of the three owners tells you that she didn't handle this in the most graceful way.  That doesn't excuse the cousin, who should have offered full reimbursement.[/quote]

Agree as well. And let’s remember it was the cousin’s friend and it’s not clear that the cousin was even present or involved except to offer payment for something a different guest did. That’s pretty generous in and of itself.

This reinforces the rules of my beach house - if you leave it behind it’s no longer yours. I am not going to be responsible for returning or storing the various crap people forget or leave for future use. I don’t throw things away usually but I don’t protect them in a special closet either.

And, there is no such thing as a special one of a kind boogie board.[/quote]
