Security deposit not fully refunded

This past May a group of family and friends went to stay at the Sandpiper House near Gold Beach, Oregon. The house was nice, though not as clean as we would have liked. The hot tub was fine, and the beach was a short walk away. The website said the deposit would be refunded if the house was left as found, with a load of laundry started and a few other things.
My friends cleaned the house and left the laundry for me, since I was leaving later. The instructions said to start a load of sheets but because there were two loads of sheets, I put the ones I washed in the dryer, because I was afraid they'd get musty. I couldn't start another load because there was only enough detergent for one.
The friend who paid for our stay was not refunded the deposit because the manager said that some sheets were missing. Or not exactly missing, but not matching the sizes that should have been there.
This is ridiculous as well as insulting. If I needed sheets, I would spend less and get new ones that would fit my bed. Years ago, a business owner in that area told a dissatisfied customer (my dad) "You should have known better." Well, now I guess we do.

I rented an average studio apt at 209 North Ft. Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33304 nine years ago. It was very bad time for US - when 9/11 happened. I rented it from David Shwaery and Clifford Cone (on 11 floor)- for7 months and all 7 months payed top dollar for their empty, average, with dirty wall studio, when no one could pay no rent - economy went dramatically down and people lost their jobs...
Next door, in same building, people were renting marble floor, with great furniture apts for twice less than I payed to these guys - I was sending them every month to RI checks, issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank.
What happened next... When after 7 months I was moving out, I, practically was robbed by these guys. I left in apt series of big expensive canvases/ paintings (with an agreement to sign and send to me) so D. Shwaery could put them on display in his hair salon in RI (this is what he said we'd like to do).
When I called after couple of weeks, asking where paintings are, Clifford Cone said that they were demolished by workers who came to repair this apt after I left. Imaging my feelings...
And this is not all... I had many friends in that building, but doorman didn't let me come inside to the building after I moved out - my ex-landlords asked him not to.
Reason: these guys-Shwaery and Cone- after they performed their crime, decided to destroy me emotionally and make me look like a bad person in front of others, so I couldn't fight for my rights. And it almost happened.
As an active artist, I cannot function without my work.When I said to Shwaery that I will sue him for what he did, he said that he will tell to police that I didn't pay him rent, this is why he got paintings. (Rent was payed by checks and it is fact,)
Eventually, after many-many months of calling and askinng other people to talk to Shwaery, I got my paintings back. But damage had made. Emotional and physical.
I would never go back to this old story, if these crooks - or how to name them? (then they were around 65, and now over 70) didn't remind me about themselves. Before, in 2004, I was receiving from Shwaery lots of spam - emails, infected with spyware, he also did other damaging stuff online. After was a break for about 2 years, and now again this person bothers me with his spam and otherthing. I do not want to be bothered!
WARNING other people who going to rent property from those guys... They are never give up their bad activities (and you maybe even won't know it) and you risking stuck with them for many-many years even you won't remember their names - because they remember yours. Dangerous and nasty people, who use internet for their bad purposes.
