Is there a better way to report all of my damage and get reimbursed?

[Justin215]

A group of ten Catholic high school teachers stayed in my house for the weekend to see a football game. They were family of one of my friends, and I knew they weren't wealthy, so I gave them a discount of two hundred dollars! They repaid me by bringing me a bottle of Canadian whiskey and totally trashing my house. I'm trying to go through the request money process, but I don't know how to give the replacement or repair value of many of these things, and who has time to do all of this?! I didn't see an option for a cleaning service reimbursement either.

Items damaged, broken or missing:

Kitchen cabinet door

Bathroom closet door

Garbage disposal

Bathroom sink drain plug

Ceramic pan

Teflon pan

Dish towel

Leather recliner

Bathroom wainscoting

Cleanliness:

Trash on the floor, nightstands, and sinks in nearly every room

Food on the kitchen floor

Various stains on kitchen table, dining room table, kitchen sink, coffee tables

Dirty clothing left behind including dirty underwear, socks, an old pair of shoes, a jersey, a windbreaker, a towel

Dozens of pebbles left in my clothes dryer, which was apparently used without permission to dry all their shoes

Various other jerk moves:

Lights were left on

TV was left on

Several windows were left open in the 30 degree weather with my heater set to 75 degrees

I found my fine crystal, used for God knows what, in the upstairs bathroom

Seemingly every cabinet in my house was rummaged through, from the bathroom closet (which they broke), the cupboards in my den which were left ajar, my kitchen cupboards from which they removed random things like my 10 pound bag of whey protein…

Various other kitchen items were left around the house and in the garage

My garage door mechanism was unhooked so that I had to park on the street, and try to figure out why my garage door wasn’t opening in the middle of the night. I couldn’t sort it out until the next day.

Since they broke things like my kitchen cabinet, and then tried to conceal it by propping it in place, and my dish cloth was simply thrown away in the garbage, I have no idea what else might be missing which I have not been told. I have been finding more damaged, broken, or missing items since I returned a few days ago.

What should I do? How do I give an estimate for something like one broken kitchen cabinet? Some of this stuff I might be able to fix myself, but do I then bill for my own time? I've never had this happen before and I'm totally overwhelmed.

@Rene-and-Zac0 aaa ok then, I misunderstood 🙂

No discounts except to my returning guests ... sometimes... and friends, of course. Our prices are already very low due to too much competition.
