If she asked and you stayed silent (since you said you were looking away), then it sounds like she (wrongly) assumed they were free. Not saying it was okay for her to do this as I personally would not.

But!

Maybe give her the benefit of the doubt. Since she's been notified of this thread by others, hopefully she can return them assuming she didn't use them.

idk even with that benefit of the doubt, this was a really awful thing to do- you wouldn't go to a store in real life, ask the shopkeeper (who is probably busy and not focusing on you... and also is giving away something for free i think) if you can take all their stock because you found a way to unlock their stock cabinet, and when they don't hear you, take everything and leave anyway because they technically didn't say no. the lack of a no doesn't mean a yes ;;

(also! @punctuallyAbsent i'm so sorry this happened to you, and i'd love to help in any way that i can! i have a good amount of extra recipes and would love to share ;; )

She scammed me through her shop on the forums. Paid for some items and she said shed send the rest of my order via mail and she never did. Unfriended me and everything. Beware this girl!

if you haven't written her a review, please do! people should know who they're trading/interacting with

Maybe I am more forgiving than everyone or something lol

Like I said she shouldn't have assumed they were free, but hopefully asking her to return them will help the situation as she possiblyyyyy isn't a thief and made a mistake... Just trying to help. If everyone here screams at her an calls her a thief and just seeks to ruin her image there is a zero possibility the items will be returned because she'll probably be too embarassed at that point whether it was a mistake or not.

I don't think she cares or will be returning the items, see:

I'm sorry to hear that...

Did you leave a feedback? Those are helpful in preventing this kind of stuff from happening to others as well...

Oh no! It's a shame some people are rude, especially with how nice you were even letting people on your island. Like everyone else said, if there's anything you really know you're missing, send a message and we'll see if we have any spares!

I'm so sorry you experienced this dear. But I'm happy to know that there are many members on here (including me) who are willing to support you and help you get back to an okay place. Trading can be scary and can come with its risks and I hate people being on the wrong end of the stick with it just because some people are self-entitled jerks who are greedy. If you need any help, I also have spare DIYs I can give you!

I never did cause I couldn't remember her shop or name and eventually I gave up looking since it was just 1 NMT and IGB. But I will now. Sucks that shes a repeat offender it seems tho

Just to clarify, I was defending my initial position. Now that more evidence has come to light that this person is actively stealing from people, my opinion is going to change with that.

Yeah that's fair. At this point scamming 3 people on the forums the mods should probably step in honestly

I am so sorry that this happened to you.
I plan on hosting a giveaway soon for DIYS/Furniture Items, I would love for you to come and see if there is anything from the pile that you need. Definitely PM me <3.

im going to lock this thread now and report them but thank you guys for helping me identify the person, and being so nice to me, you're all great people, thank you

 

[Bunlily]

I'm sorry this happened to you. Even if she assumed your silence meant it was ok (IDK how but hey) she still should not have taken them without confirmation. I still get baffled about how people can act this disrespectful in another person's town.

But, if the mods do step it... what's to prevent her from creating a new account?

That's horrible. Let me know if there's anything you need. I have some spare golden, ironwood and fruit-themed DIY's. This community has been more than generous to me in the short time I've been here.

I shiver at the thought that this has happened unknowingly to many others, who invited this person to their island where the host is not always watching or collecting their donations/items on the ground when it's dropped by visitors.
