Cleaning guy abused my property


What is the name of your state?Colorado
(sorry, i didnt know which category to post this in!)

What is the name of your state? Colorado

First of all I would like to state some supporting info, as I feel my situation would not make sense without it...

I am 19 years old, living with both of my parents in an upper middle class suburban home. My whole life I have been "wierd", and am a technology/videogame freak. Among various electronics all over my room I have over 6 game consoles, a nice tv, a nice stereo, a VERY high end yamaha synthesizer,a very very large collection of DVD', and a very nice laptop (very nice laptop speakers as well) which is fairly new. To top it all off, there are 4 CD wallets that each hold 200cds all stacked on top of each other (and yes, they are all full).

All of these items are located in my bedroom, so if someone walked in their first impression would be "Wow, this kid is spoiled. Look at all this expensive stuff!"

Now with that background info out of the way, here is my problem...

A carpet cleaning man was scheduled to come today at 8am, so I went to sleep in my brother's empty room. My immediate response to leaving my electronics unattended was "I REALLLLY hope that cleaning guy doesnt touch anything."

So I wake up by the time he was already finished and had left my house. I casually mosey on over to my room, and open up my laptop. "what is this gum!? on my keyboard!?" yes, there was chewed gum in the crevices/cracks of my keyboard. I spent over 2 hours trying to scrape it all off with a needle, some of it even fell INTO the laptop. (will it melt later on and break my system?) After seeing that I was quite frustrated, seeing as that I have not chewed gum in over 2 years, I never have friends over. No one EVER comes into my room, even if they did NO ONE opens my laptop because im ALWAYS in my room and i would know.

At this point I'm thinking "hmmm, I wonder if anything else is messed up" .
I grab my stereo remote wanting to chill out to some music, I press play for the CD. Next thing I know, there is a *WHIIIIRRRRRRRRR* sound. "what the hell is that scratching noise coming from my stereo?!" I screamed. I look into the stereo to notice my CDs were pushed out of their slots, and jagged, which gravely scratched my CD when i tried to play it. i thought "well maybe he nudged into the stereo and knocked the CDs loose". So i tried it myself. I nudged it, i hit it, i flipped the entire unit upside down in a rage. Nothing. That was proof to me that he opened up my stereo and tampered with the CDs.

Im still looking for something else that could be damaged, but so far the laptop/gum is the main thing. I know i could never proove this to anyone. My parents are confused by my story (they know I have done drugs in the past, and they figure "well he probably got the gum in there when he was stoned or something a couple months ago". they wont really listen because they "trust" him)

I dont know his motives for doing something like this, but i suspect he felt i was spoiled when he saw all the stuff I had. Perhaps he was depraved of nice things as a child, so he figured he would cause a little subtle chaos for me.

Someone help what can i do about this? I KNOW it was him, but cant proove anything.

(Another bizzarre detail to support my claim: when I attempted to visit the company website I found a page were you can leave feedback about their service. I tried to type in my comment, but it wont work. Strange huh? [url]http://www.superiorcarpetcare.com.au/onlenq.html[/url])

Duplicate post.

It is our unanimous opinion that you are damn right and it should be obvious to any moron that your (ex) (SO’s ex) (boss) (landlord) (local police) should be immediately (jailed) (fired) (reprimanded) (arrested) (demoted) (shot) (evicted).
In fact, you are so astonishingly correct in this matter, it will not surprise us one bit if you are offered a generous settlement, because, by golly, that’s just how it should be.

You Rock,
