Whenever you accuse someone of stealing or scamming, you need to come out with all of the information, and CLEARLY lay everything out.
For example, let's say I was in Slim T's shoes, and I was claiming Brandon stole the change of the grocery money he gave me.
If my accusations were true, I would lay it out like this:
- I gave Brandon $400 to buy me groceries
- He returned with what appeared to be about $200 worth of groceries, and sent it up through the bell desk
- I asked him for the other $200 back, and he kept stalling me
- I still don't have the $200 back
- Here are all of the text messages I sent him asking for the money, and his responses giving me the run-around (and then I'd post the text messages)
It would be pretty clear from the above whether or not Brandon was guilty.
(Note that the above is ALL FICTION and I am just giving a hypothetical example. Brandon never stole anything from me.)
If you come out with some cryptic story and don't clearly lay out how the person cheated you, it starts to look doubtful.
