I know what you are saying but Nicole's comment seems to be the most porper to consider for his situation.Dick Starbuck said:Yeah, then your "lawyer" can get in on screwing you, too!!
You're probably right, Nicole, but I hate the fact that we need lawyers to take care every little legal issue that comes along, like buying a house, for Christ's sake. As soon as lawyers are involved, even the "winners" are losers...

No, if you're going to do anything you've got to do it legit, as you've already said. There's no point in you ending up in jail over this crap.KBear said:Her driving around on $2000 worth of tires you bought would be annoying. Know that cutting the sidewall when the tire is inflated causes the tire to shred and is noisy and dangerous. If you are caught you could be charged with trespassing.
I was thinking the same thing Mlam.....the story kind of read that she was living with him and bailed out of HIS apartment.MLAM said:...the first part of the fish reveals itself.
She didn't move in with you...you moved in with her.
BIG difference.
While I agree one shouldn't "sweat the small stuff" but having your property stolen isn't "small stuff" IMO.....people like the woman in question rely on this attitude and never face the music for their actions.bestillmehard said:I think to chalk it up as experience and remember its just stuff, is the way to go. Dont sweat the small stuff and let the bastards get to you. You may think its not small but believe me....stuff is replaceable. You, your life and your future are not.
I definitely feel for the guy as we all work hard to obtain our possessions. BUT compared to a life sentence, or financial ruin and worse, makes the furniture, leather or not....just stuff. To be consumed by this type of situation by trying to sue for your chattels in small claims court or by taking actions into your own hands makes for a potentially awful situation. You need to have an address of the other person to file small claims. It costs about $35.00 but the hassle might not be worth it. I am not trying to minimize his loss. IMO his loss might be greater if he pursues it.tboy said:While I agree one shouldn't "sweat the small stuff" but having your property stolen isn't "small stuff" IMO.....people like the woman in question rely on this attitude and never face the music for their actions.
I think there is more to this story than is being let on and I was just thinking: if the apartment was in her name, and she bailed, she might be in trouble for breaking the lease (if there was one).
I'd also like to know what was taken. For eg: If it was his favourite football sweater and a dumpy old couch, then yeah, that's small stuff. But if she took all the new leather livingroom furniture, the new bedroom set, and his new 42" plasma tv, then fight for it......
Financially it would most likely be better to cut his losses. But he may not be able to put it behind him without some attempt at making her reap the rewards for her actions, (I mean legal actions, as tempting as it may be, illegal actions would definitely be counterproductive in the long run most likely)bestillmehard said:I definitely feel for the guy as we all work hard to obtain our possessions.
