I'm looking forward to the multitude of threads about how horrible your parents are and how you wish you weren't living with them. Maybe I'll go read the old threads now for a preview.

And he can't just find another roommate? Bail on the lease? (it's often pretty hard to do anything about that as a landlord)

I've only been casually skimming here. What else has been stolen?

My PS3 has in total been stolen twice (returned the first time), my cellphone, my ipod shuffle, at least 2 games, 2 controllers, not sure what else.

And yet you continue to lend your crap out, rather than locking it all in your room full time...

You should totally sue yourself.

Allow me to suggest you do something similar to yourself except four letters and involves procreating, probably involving your hand or a clone.

I'm just curious why anyone would want to steal a PS3.

To sell it to the owner's roommate on eBay.

Blayne, why are you letting such a small thing cause so much trouble? I guarantee that using leverage to try and force your roommate to pay for your stolen video game system now is going to end up costing you far far more (including ruining any relationship you have with him and who knows how much time and mental effort on your part) than just accepting that he's done his best to pay you back.

Here is what you should do: Accept the PS3 he bought you on ebay as payment. Thank your roommate for being willing to repay you as best he can. If the PS3 you receive is acceptable, use it - if not, sell it and use the return as partial payment for buying a brand new PS3. The difference may be a few hundred dollars, but that is nothing compared with the trouble you seem to be causing yourself by insisting on absolute justice.

So far the current plan is to break out of the lease (legally and with no consequences) and use it as leverage as if he cant afford 30$ a month (but could somehow afford a 30$ pizza when i came back for my clothes) he definately can't afford the other half of the rent.

Leverage.

You sound like Terl from Battlefield Earth...

If I had to choose between living somewhere where my stuff may get stolen and living with a parent who physically and psychologically abused me, I'd go with the former. It isn't a binary choice, though. I don't know the details of your situation all that well, but I'm sure that there are alternatives beyond these two.

Are you still in school?

Couldn't you simply live without a PS3 and take your laptop with you wherever you go? Seems better than a rotten home situation, a broken lease, and roommate issues.

I don't have a laptop per say, I have a 2000$ desktop, my laptop which I worked my ass off to pay for 2 summers ago has fallen apart to the point I'm afraid to touch it.
