She took it out of spite. Or she misheard. But she messed up when she said she never got it and then said maybe its somewhere in her house lmao

Who read the title thinking that one of them went to the hospital? 😂

If you don't have something that you didn't borrow, you don't go looking for it!!🤷🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️

Just an FYI if someone texts or emails you claiming you owe them something you don't, it's in your best interest to respond your denial because in the eyes of the court it can be seen as an admission by omission. Silence will 9/10 work against you.

The plaintiff hesitated when asked if she would capitalize on the neighbors misfortune, she said it and just didn't think the neighbor knew. Smh

This is such good suburban white wine-mom drama! And I loved every moment of it! 😂 I definitely believe the lady took her sewing machine because she was mad about what she heard. But I also believe the Plaintiff said that and was planning on getting that good next door house, so she could tear it down, and build herself a cute gazebo on the land. I believe that, I believe it in my heart of hearts! 😂😂😂

I think the defendant is in her feelings about her misfortune and feels some kind of way that the plaintiff seems to have it all.. People who are miserable and going thru things sometimes have the tendency to take things out on others.. She absolutely kept that machine.. Probably said to herself she has enough stuff and I'm keeping it... It's probably already been sold...

I have my mother's machine from 1929.She bought me a Singer in 1962. i also have 2 other machines that are about 25 and 30 years old. I love to sew and wish I could do it more. They all are still working.

Happy Monday from a warm day in Miami FL. Enjoying some spinach lasagna and garlic bread today while we enjoy our daily fix of TPC. Blessings everybody. 🍹😊

Not believing the defendant. Why wouldn’t you reply? And the plaintiff’s story about not loaning the defendant money is more believable than over hearing someone saying they wanted to snatch the house out from under the defendant. She has the sewing machine.

You think you know someone and sadly find out you really don't. She has the machine.

Defendant doubles down on the logical inconsistency between "I never borrowed the machine" and "Maybe it was up in my attic." Can't have it both ways. Add to that the fact that she never denied having it in response to plaintiff's texts, and she sure looks guilty to me.

Even if the plaintiff was talking abt her, the defendant is still wrong for taking the sewing machine. All she had to do was leave it on the porch then text her saying it's there. Vs just lying saying she never got it. Fair judgment

She stole that machine. Her reaction is none emotional

The judge did an excellent job in judging this case, and her comments were exactly right. She determined who was the one that was lying/mistaken .

The plaintiff definitely had that conversation in the backyard! She might not have wanted to buy it but I bet the other neighbors did.

What a thief...if someone asked me for some random sewing machine that I never used I'd text them back immediately like "What are you talking about??" She's a bold face liar.

My mother bought a Bernina sewing machine with an embroidery attachment for $6k several years ago. They're not cheap. I would never let something that expensive out of my house. If a friend needed it, they can come over to use it. Especially if that friend is a neighbor

😯 This is what good neighborly behavior looks like? Defendant keeps the sewing machine she borrowed. Plaintiff says she can’t wait to buy the defendants home from underneath her. I think she kept the machine out of spite after overhearing what her neighbors were planning on doing. I think they both came to court and lied.

The plaintiffs face was priceless when she mentioned she overheard her I absolutely believe they had that conversation about her

Nice product placement of the bernina in the background there. Lol

Happy Monday from warm day in Defuniak Springs Florida, enjoying T.P.C. while I sit on my porch with a cat on my lap!!

Who steals a sewing machine 😒

I can’t believe the Judge Only gave her $700 for a machine that can cost upwards of $11,000.+

The plaintiff is such a nice person. This is not the first time or the last that the defendant screwed someone over.

The defendant has the sewing machine and the plaintiff was talking behind the defendant’s back. Plain and simple.

She stole it. She knew she had two and she was gonna get one of them before she moved.. She knew she had to sell The House. Come on Lady Your a Thief

It really sounds like the plaintiffs friends were the ones saying they’d buy it, the plaintiff seems earnest and kind so idk why she would say that. Regardless, that defendant definitely stole the sewing machine

The plaintiff was able to give a lot of details about when she loaned the defendant the machine. She was believable. The defendant said "maybe" she had it because she had lots of stuff doesn't make sense. Not responding to the texts doesn't make sense either. It is possible that she may not have overheard the conversation correctly and should have talked about it with her friend. She has now moved, so wonder if she figured out who bought her house? Must not be the plaintiff.

The defendant should stop being petty and return the sewing machine to the plaintiff. The plaintiff doesn’t want a new machine she wants her machine.

This was crazy! How can you just give her $700? She should be able to get another machine and $700 won’t cut it. Stop being nice, nice gets you screwed over

Some years ago, a friend's sister's daughter ( married & with a 15 yr old son) had visited our home and asked to borrow our oven for making something. I gave it and she never returned it, and when after months I kept asking on the phone and she did not return it, I visited her home and then she said with a cold voice that she had sold it as she needed money. She had an earning husband and lived in a good house owned by them. It was too shocking to even comprehend, and the shameless way she said it was awful.

The plaintiff looks like Jackie Kennedy.

I wonder if the machine broke while the defendant had it, and she didn't want to pay to fix it.

I think she had it but was mad when they didn't give her a loan lol

The same thing happened to my wife. She loaned her sewing machine to a friend to make socks, mittens, and other clothing items during the pandemic but never got it back. My wife decided to not pursue getting the sewing machine back. It's an expensive machine that my wife had for many years but she stopped using it years ago. Hopefully it's getting used for what it was initially borrowed for.

The plantiff loaned the defendant the machine who overheard the talk of buying her home once she's gone. Both can be true. Good decision by the judge.

Imagine while they were in the case they machine is just on her draw in the back lmaooo

All she had to do was reply to the text saying she didn't have the machine 🤷🏾‍♀️ if she has it, sold it or gave it away that would've been the best way to go about it

I bet the plaintiff is relieved and happy the defendant moved out. The defendant is a liar, she absolutely has the machine

She overheard what she claims she did and she indeed stole that machine BECAUSE of what she overheard. Whether what she heard was actually about her house or not, who knows. She felt justified in keeping it after discovering their plans. It was still stealing and just plain wrong.

She is lying and something happened to it.

Sad that there're so many people like the defendant. Emotional problems for sure. Glad she moved!

11:00 - "Why would you look for something if you didn't borrow it?" 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

Why would you look for something you didn’t barrow?? This woman is a NUT!

there is something fishy about the Defendants story not worth throwing away a 22-year friendship

I totally believe that the plaintiff wanted the defendant's house and that the defendant stole her sewing machine. I don't know why the man interviewing at the end always has to say that they will have to pay the judgements because apparently the show pays the judgement not the one who lost. Which is so upsetting in such a case because the thief will still have the sewing machine that the plaintiff has an emotional connection to. It's also not horrible to buy someone else's old house that they lost but you shouldn't expect them to be happy about it.

Distasteful? I don't know judge's. My younger brother stole from me SEVERAL times and it was finally the time I called the police and had him locked up for 90 days that he finally clean and sober and turned his life around. Sometimes rock-bottom is the exact place someone needs to be to get better. It definitely Depends on the circumstances. My brother is now 5 years clean and sober

These judges are so smart Judy Marilyn Mathias and all the others

The Plaintiff seems like a good neighbor. 👍

I had a "friend" who stole my work slacks. Left with a much bigger bag than she came with. 😶

Please… you know you were talking 💩 about her 😂 No way she would leave without saying bye.

My sister in law paid six hundred dollars for a sewing machine from an older woman who bought it, but never used it. She only uses straight stitches to make quilts. I make just about anything, and everything on my machine, and it was about half, or a third of that. It’s really all in the name, and different functions a machine could do that makes it worth more $$.

Yeah, I don't know. Texts seem to be the new contracts. I'm not sure if I like that or hate that.

I am curious what the significance of the whole.... "I carried it over and its heavy and I have steps and she has steps.. and my husband offered to help me but I told him I could carry it". But I clearly see why the Judge sided with the Plaintiff.

VERY CREEPY DEFENDANT................ Good that she's no longer the plaintiff's neighbor.

"I have my own" yeah, HERS 😂

The televisions on the podiums are funny to me...oh man this covid stuff is driving me crazy.

Judge is GORGEOUS 😘😍

Court, land of either 2 partial liars or 1 complete liar. Always fascinating.

Hahah I love it when the plaintiff said “it’s not actually a sewing machine. But it’s a computer that sews” 🤔lol. Aka computerized sewing machine. The defendant said she does have the sewing machine. And I believe her. She just forgot to add “anymore”. She tossed that machine the minute she heard the comment about her misfortune.

I completely believe the plaintive.

It makes zero sense to say that you're absolutely 100% sure that you don't have something, but then to say that you need to go check to see if you have it, then to keep going back and forth. I think defendant does have (or had -- maybe it's sold) the machine, and was so mad at plaintiff that she decided to lie and deny it. When asked why she hadn't responded to plaintiff's texts, she would have been much better off saying, "I was so mad at her that I wanted nothing to do with her, so I just ignored her" rather than "well I wasn't sure that I didn't have it and I needed to check in my attic." She wrecked her own argument when she said that.

At the end when the judges are talking about the gold plated pen set... my brother took many of my father's things when he passed by walking into my mother's home while she was gone. He also took an expensive power tool set my husband and I gifted my father. I cant imagine how upset and angry my mother is and I don't even speak with my brother anymore. I know it was dad that passed but that doesn't mean a free for all and take what you want. Sick.

That is an embroidery machine - why would she lend an expensive embroidery machine to make curtains instead of the other machine ? My embroidery machine was £6,500 and I would never lend it as the tensions etc are very complicated and not to be messed with.

I believe the Defendant couldn't help but want to steal the machine from the Plaintiff. Sad--

Defendant was a dosie od a liar. She knows she has the sewing machine cause the Plaintiff brought it down for her to take to her home. And then the Plaintiff was asking for it back, defendant played the dumb me game.

If you were such great friends, why would she have to request to borrow the machine "several times"? Plaintff is way off...

The defendant is a flat out liar. She fled without saying goodbye because she either stole that machine or she broke it and didn't want to pay for it.

I think the defendant had it also

Good call Judge

What a horrible woman she totally stole her sewing machine. I wonder what other items she does not have that belong to other people??

She stole it.

That plaintiff is so cold in her hart to say that abt a frend, if I was that frend I would've done worse things than keep a machine

What a cold hearted lady the defendant is . She is lying and she is ducking out of giving it back .

They fly off the shelves here.😱™️

Sad about the judges question. When my father passed not one of us 8 kids thought we could take anything from our mother. She passed 15 yrs later and we were able to receive sentimental items we wanted associated with our Dad. But I will say if my son wanted a pen I would probably give to him. Maybe it meant a lot to her though and she was still holding on to her husband. The son should not of taken it for sure.

The defendant is a total liar .

That defendant is lying like a rug.

How do you buy a house from "under a neighbor? A neighbor loses the house, sells the house, whatever, the house is then put up for sale for anybody to buy.

Plaintiff was screwed by the judge,those machines cost around 1200 on the low end and she only gave her 700

I don't believe either one of them about different things. I 100% believe the plaintiff said that about waiting her out to buy her house, mainly because of her "uhhhh..." before saying nope. I also believe the defendant has her machine.

I’ve lived in my home/neighborhood for 30 years. I am always friendly and cordial with my neighbors but I always made it a point to never be friends with my neighbors.

Worth every penny

I think she borrowed it knowing she was moving without telling her friend. She pretty much stole it.

The defendant is a liar, and a thief. She literally started off the case saying *”I have my own machine”,* and then two sentences later, she admits to having used the plaintiff’s sewing machine… supposedly in the plaintiff’s sewing room. If she had her own machine, why would the defendant ever have to use the plaintiff’s machine? Then later in the case, she *denied* having ever used the plaintiff’s machine, but JM didn’t pick up on that lie. This is why I don’t borrow anything, and I don’t loan anything.

I believe the defendant kept the sewing machine out of spite, and I believe the plaintiff was caught talking that mess. 🤷‍♂️

Defendant got a couple of Screws loose

Defendant probably sold it.

The defendant def stole it. They are expensive as hell :)

They’re both lying. The plaintiff says she wanted to buy her friend’s house for a steal. And the defendant took the sewing machine when she moved because she overheard the conversation about “stealing” her house.

The defendant was lying. If the plaintiff had made it all up, she would have still been thrilled with the judgement of $700. However, the look on her face showed the was not happy at all.

The defendant definitely has the sewing machine but probably got rid of it when she moved. She didn't reply to the texts and kept talking about wondering if she had it, even saying she didn't have time to go upstairs and check. That would take one minute. I cannot be sure about the conversation. How did she move without them noticing? Was there no FOR SALE sign or anything like that? Did they not notice the moving? If they were going to buy the house from under her then you would have thought they would be more vigil to that. Also why would they have that conversation when they knew she would be able to hear it if their gardens are so close? On the other hand the plaintiff did look shocked when she heard the story and took a long time to answer. What about the story of always asking to borrow money to finish her second floor. I just cannot decide whether the plaintiff had that conversation. But I am positive that the defendant has the sewing machine.

You watch more and more episodes of friends bringing friends to court. It’s 😢 sad!

I think the neighbor sold the machine because she was desperate for money and made up that tale about overhearing them discussing buying her house. That's much more plausible.

The things you make are the emotional attachment, not a machine. But the defendant is terrible for stealing the machine and it's possoble she sold her house due to financial problems and likely sold the machine.

Defendant took the machine. I also believe she misheard the plantiff.hope the perloined Bernina breaks on her. They cost a fortune to repair. My mom still has one and she was a tailor.

She doesn’t have that sewing machine…anymore! Sold it when she was struggling financially.

The defendant also did admit she had used it at the plaintiffs house. If she had her own $1000 machine for 10 years that she was gloating about then why did she ever need to use her neighbors? Then she went on later to say she never did use it? What? She lied in there somewhere. I think she was ticked they wouldn’t loan her money and made up the part about overbearing them. This plaintiff has no reason to sue someone who apparent is having hardships and may never get the judgement unless it’s true.

What a thief
