You're "negligent" because you forgot a jacket? Wow, that's a new one.
Let her call her lawyer; it's quite obvious that you're dealing with someone who lacks general common sense. If she wants to spend the cost of 10 jackets to involve her lawyer over the fact that you forgot it one night, all the power to her. The irony in this is that I assume you pay child support? How do you "steal" something that you contributed to the purchase of in the first place? On top of that, what were you going to do? Wear it yourself?
There's overreacting and then there's what you've just described.
I suppose she has never left anything behind when she's taken the child somewhere?
