What is your opinion of this?
Hi everyone, I have a little situation, and Im just curious on what your opinions are here... My little sister has a pet ferret that accidently got outside last wednesday, and someone called us today saying they found him, BUT after spealing with the lady today, she does not want to give him back unless we give her $150 she claims to have spent on supplies for it (after 4 days).. The first time I spoke with her, she said she couldn't return the stuff because she bought it all from friends, and then when I spoke with her a second time in the evening, she said that the petstore she bought it all from won't take it back because it's used. I honestly don't believe that though, I think that after 4 days, the petstore wouldnt care as long as the stuff wasnt ruined. She would not tell me the name of the store, as I offered to call the store myself and see what they said. In my opinion, it was her mistake to spend any money on the animal, because obviously it was someones pet, and she should just accept her loss. We phoned the city police and they told us we aren't obligated to pay a cent to retrieve our pet... Anyone have any input on this? I'm going to speak with the lady again tomorrow and see what she says, I told her today that we'll at most give her some reward money and buy any food she bought for the beast but that was all. Ill suggest that again, and if not I guess we'll have to go call up the cops and get their help.
