Just looking for opinions on the situation, and advice as to what yo uwould do in the same situation.

I ''sold'' a rug to a lady on our yard (she has what appears to be a 14+year old daughter but only looks about 20 herself!) it was a 5''9 lightweight turnout.

It was ''sold'' for £15, now I say ''sold'' because I said to her just pop the money in my freezer or my wardrobe or give it to me when you see me next, anyway I gave her a week to pay for it, probably longer than that actually. I recieved nothing so I contacted her again and said I could do with the money, and text me saying she was on her way down to the yard with it, I got down just after she had left and I know this because I saw her on route to the yard. I couldn't find the money anywhere, I put it down to me not searching properly as tack room is quite dark at times and I was rushing about. So I asked her where she had put it as couldn't find it, and recieved a reply of ''I put it where you told me too'' Which was either freezer or wardrobe. So the Wednesday I emptied everything, and by everything I mean EVERYTHING, I emptied all 3 of my freezers, all my bags, the whole wardrobe, and left nothing unturned or unshaken, and there was no money to be found. I have since sent her 3 messages via facebook as she uses this all the time and I don't have her phone number, she deleted the one on her wall, and the 2 too her inbox she has completely ignored, whereas before when we contacted via facebook her replies were instant.

I hate confrontation, so considering just taking the rug back out her freezer and awaiting a storm of abuse. There is no way she can say she left it there when only 4 people have access to that tack room and the other 2 people are very nice, polite caring people who I know well. And they wouldn't have had time to as I had only just missed her leaving. I saw her at the yard yesterday but was just leaving and had gotten a lift so couldn't hang around waiting, and she wasn't getting out of the car, but did when I left!

So angry & upset, but more so too myself because I always trust people and this is what happens, you'd think I'd learn!
 
Take the rug, assuming it's not on the horses back, and message her telling her that you've taken it but will happily return it once you have the money.

I wouldn't warn her that you are going to take the rug as she may move it.

I thought about this, and I think that is probably what I will do. And nos he is not using it, I checked her freezer aswell incase she left money in there and rug was at top.

Next time you see her at the yard wander over and ask her to show you where she left the money?

I thought about this also but I hate confrontation and don't want to be in that awkward position where we both know the money isn't really there and get in an arguement, I have so much going on at the moment, moving house and all sorts, and don't want her in my face as I will explode! She is the mouthy type so will end up in a cat scrap lol.
 
take it back, if she has the nerve to ask say 'oh I presumed you didn't want it as you hadn't paid for it' sorry I sold it to someone else :D
 
Take it back and complain to all others in the yard, also put a lock on all your stuff.

Good advice re lock. I would be inclined to take the rug back, take it home (assuming you don't use it) and when asked, deny all knowledge and say it must be in the same place as the money she "left" for you :D Perhaps the tack room has a bermuda triangle???
