Friend Destroys Valuable Antique In My Collection, Now I’m Pressing Charges

What happens when a friend breaks over $6k worth of your valuable collection? One AITA poster had to deal with that after a friend didn’t believe they had an 1861 Springfield rifle and entered their collection room without permission. The friend tripped and broke $6k worth of items, causing the poster to tell them to leave and press charges. While some friends think the poster was too harsh, the poster argues that the friend was wrong for entering without permission and breaking sentimental items. The poster is now questioning if they were the a**hole for their reaction. What do you think?

Sharing my story of pressing charges against a destructive friend.
