This past Friday evening, approximately $1,200 was stolen from me by another well-known provider, Adrianna xo. She was someone that I trusted implicitly & I considered to be a very good friend. I am still extremely upset about it.
Adrianna, Sydney & I went out for a drink this past Friday. We departed from my house at around midnight. Towards the end of the evening, at approximately 3am, she asked me to borrow my car keys to get a personal item out of the cab of my car. I had placed my money in the trunk of my car when we left my house, three hours prior. I left the bar with Sydney a couple of minutes after Adrianna went to my car with the keys... and in the parking lot we walked up on her and caught her in front of my open trunk. The money was askew and out of it's original location and container. She had no reason to even be in the trunk of my car – her items were in the cab. She was also the only person that had access to my keys and subsequently, to the trunk of the car. Sydney Pure also witnessed her standing in front of my open trunk, although Sydney did not realize the significance at the time, because she did not know that I had put the money in there.
I've asked Adrianna to return my money several times – and I warned her that if she didn't, I would post an alert about it. She has refused to return the money, and continued to deny that she took it. But I am 100% certain that she did. She has even threatened me that "I will regret it if I post anything that damages her reputation."
I have debated back and forth for a couple of days about whether to remain silent, and avoid the drama & possible retaliation – or come forward with the truth, in an attempt to help others avoid a similar situation with her.
I personally feel that this is definitely a serious issue and needs to be addressed. I cannot continue to ignore it because my silence will more than likely detrimentally affect others in the hobby, due to her presence as a VP. I'm sure there are some members here that will point a finger and accuse me of "drama" – but I feel that my responsibility to share this info with Eccie members outweighs the potential of me being labeled as dramatic.
I advise extreme caution on any interactions you might have with her. I've learned my lesson, for sure! I will definitely be a lot more discriminating about who I befriend and trust in the future.
