This very, very rare item was recently stolen from someone. How? A scamming lair partner.
Please, please, PLEASE think about who you plan to let onto your account. As Aywas gets bigger, scammers start showing up, which is unfortunately what one user experienced tonight. A nice, friendly user was really a scammer - and stole all the rare items off their "new partner"'s account.
Your BIGGEST defense against scammers is to look at the activity of the person you're considering let onto your account. How long have they been involved in the community? Do they make contributions - pet colors, suggestions, wearables, etc? When did they register? Do they have things of value (customs, custom HA items, etc) that they wouldn't want to lose by scamming?
Let's face it - if you have nice things, someone will want to take them from you. Don't let it happen. Make sure that the person you're planning on trusting doesn't seem like someone who is obviously not up to par with you, riches wise. If you have a lot of nice things, they should too. Otherwise, who's to say they won't steal yours?
Lair partners can make Aywas a better, more personal game for both players. But you need to make sure you look at how trustworthy, based on activity, that person is. That way you have a better net to filter out the scammers.

....... That is messed up. I'm really sorry that happened to someone. I've heard a lot of stories about how lair partnering can go bad. I've known Nyxie a veryyyyyy long time so we have no issues but I can't imagine trusting someone and that happening. Guess it's a good wake-up call. Good luck in the future to all considering lair partners.

I'm so glad I live with my lair partner. If she stole something for me I'd just stick her hand in warm water while she is sleeping and make her pee her bed. :D

That is so sad. :(
I'm still kind of new, so I probably don't have many "rare" items to help replace the ones they lost, but I wouldn't mind donating a few things to help out. Is there any way to do that?

Wow, how uncool. D: I don't know how the scammer thought they would actually be able to get away with that.
