You should have reported theft. I bet she stole it. I'm 100% almost maybe certain. :P

You have severe decentering problems with the lens in the middle (1st photo). But I suppose bokeh must be tasty. :P

1. Don't buy variable ND filter. They are usually not very high quality in the first place, they are difficult to adjust precisely, and can give you the dreaded X-mark effect, especially on wide-angle shots.
2. If you want to buy only one "all-rounder", I'd suggest going for 6-stop ND, which in most conditions will give you shutter times between 0.5 and 10s, easily adjustable with minor changes in aperture and ISO.
3. Mid-tier filter of aforementioned brands (Marumi, B+W, Hoya) should give you a decent quality, IMHO. Don't be afraid even if there's slight colour-cast, because it can be fixed in post-processing, just like white-balance. What's more important, it is uniformity of a filter, lack of faults in the glass and good coatings.

Maybe built-in flash in the red one can do HSS? :p

1. This is what you get for using cheap, no-name memory cards.
2. You could try to remove carefully remaining bits from the slot with tweezers (preferably plastic or ceramic ones), after turning off your camera, obviously. I don't think you'd be able to do more damage than it's already done. I don't think it will do anything good anyway. Most probably there's some damaged electronics or maybe it's "only" some electrical connections. I don't know how Pentax warranty treats this kind of damage.

:confused: I've never performed such voodoo rituals with mine and it works flawlessly. :p
@OP: I've heard about two or three cases like yours, when this lens didn't work straight out-of-the-box, but after a couple of tries it kicked in. I don't know how many times you've tried to mount and unmount it, but it's worth to try to do it a few times. Maybe a gentle knock from the side or at the back of chassis.

What is really weird, it is that Nikon/Pentax have 7 aperture blades and Canon/Sony have 13.
It must be some kind of conspiracy, most probably Illuminati and repti-aaarrghhh... ;)

Yes, you don't. :D Coatings are important on every air-to-glass surface, not only for physical protection (scratch, dust, water, grease, which is important for front and, to lesser degree, rear elements), but to reduce flares and improve light transmission. Best coatings have losses of 0.2-0.3 % of light for straight beams in the middle of the visible spectrum. Without coatings, losses increase more or less by an order of magnitude.
