Question

I lost my phone and committed to donating money to charity. Later, I found the phone and donated the money. After the fact, it turned out that my friend had hidden it. Can I claim the money from him?

Answer

Hello 

The friend is exempt.

He did not cause you damage, but rather indirectly influenced your decision to spend the money.
