How Binding is Verbal Agreement when leaving things with someone for some time and what are my options for situation below? Also her parents and relatives are well off and might hire a good lawyer, what are the chances that I end up on the loosing side?
I am resident of California, currently student in Univercity of California Irvine. Before leaving college for summer I gave my PC (estimate worth $2.5k) to my GF with verbal agreement that I get it back when I return in September. About 4 weeks after she broke up with me and asked if I want to pick up PC then. I responded that I will do it in September as was originally agreed.
Note: She said want to take it now, without saying anything else. I really did not known that if I do not do that then I would not get it back.
In September when I asked PC back she told me she did not want to see me at the time. I really did not want to press it, so I let it slide with verbal stipulation that she contacts me when she has time to give PC back.
Now, 2 month later, I discover out that she gave it away after September. She maintains that she thought it was a gift, while I never used word gift, and specifically told her that I will pick up pc after summer. Moreover I do not know how she can claim that she still thought about it as a gift after I asked for it in September.
I assembled PC myself from parts bought online. Thus I have all electronic receipts, and can prove fact that I got the PC, as well as determine exact amount of money I paid.
I do not know if this matters, but she is International Student in UC Riverside.?
Thanks!
