Based on the information, it seems you have a strong position. In Washington, a gift given without any conditions typically becomes the receiver's property, and the giver cannot demand it back. Since you mentioned there were no conditions attached, you likely have the right to keep the phone.
Is there any other detail or concern you have about this situation?
What if i have no proof how can i still keep the phone if he decides to report it to the cops?
In Washington, a verbal agreement or the context of the gift (like Christmas) can support your case. If reported, you can explain the situation to the police and show that the phone was given as a gift without conditions. Try to gather any supporting evidence like text messages or witness statements.
Is there any other concern you have about this situation?
What should i do if someone i live with recieved my package from usps and will not give it to me?
If someone you live with received your package from USPS and refuses to give it to you, you can:
- Politely ask them to return the package.
- Show proof that the package is addressed to you.
- Inform USPS about the issue.
- If necessary, contact local law enforcement for assistance.
Do you need help with any other legal concerns?
