Maybe there was a genuine mix up and the copy was for themselves.
Wouldnt hurt to ask them.

Has anyone else borrowed it? Maybe a previous 'borrower' did the sneaky.

Hi Marion,

No nobody else has borrowed it as he is so funny about loaning things.

Do the girls know it is her Father's? How well do you know the parents? Are they approachable. Best to go in as if you think it is a genuine mix up, if you accuse them they may get stroppy with you.

Dad did not know and thankfully i got it all sorted out and the cd is back where it belongs and daughter has said she will not loan her Dads cds out again.

Thank you for all your help.

So pleased you got it sorted, I assume between you and the other Mums. Well done, and a lesson learned by your daughter.

Oh good, you got it back.
Did they own up then or was it a genuine hic-up?

Glad it is sorted,

I speak as a non copier of commercial cd's,
but I would have thought that the Original would be a more professional product than a rip off,

Is it possible privately to copy a Cd musically,and to superimpose the original "original" decoration also?

The girl owned up ~now she has been told to keep away from my daughter ~like you say who`d have kids.

My daughtet is naturally upset about whats happened.
Hugs when she gets home.

RB, lending records, CD's, Tapes, books etc is fatal to a friendship.
A lesson I learned YEARS ago.
And what I love most about this story is that she has been told to stay away .....from the victim!!
Yes.... the same old story..... it never changes.
Give her a big hug, she has already learned a wonderful practical lesson, bless her.

It is upsetting when a 'friend' does the dirty on you ;((

Oh well at least it's sorted out now.
