Hi guys,


I've been keeping an eye out for my stuff on craiglist and last night i saw the laptop and camera that exactly like mine posted up for sale, but it wasnt locally, it was about 150 miles away.

I called up a close friend of mine to check out these item for me, shes about 20 miles from the seller. I told exactly what to look for , my laptop has a scratch on the bottom that crossed out 2 of the serial number, its a 17 in wide screen with blue color, missing power core original hard case, the camera also doesnt have a charger and box, also some scratched on the scan disk ....

Few hours later she called me up and said its exactly like what i described, she also mention that hes moving away and trying to sell all his stuff .... heres the kicker, she seen him before and she told me he`s one of my FRIEND from back in the day.

She snapped a picture of his face but couldnt get a licence plate because they met up at a starbuck or some sort ...

I realize that this is the person that i helped out years ago, i loaned him 15k + for his business and he dissappear out of no where, i still have the contract he owes me that MUCH!

I guess he knows i have money and been watching me for a long long time, i have not talk to this guys in years ... the only way he can find out where i live is only by following my ex gf. ( i met her through his' ex wife )

So now i have his pictures, his old addresses, old emails, old phone numbers .... how can i find out where he lives ?? i cant afford a private investigator so that is out of the question ... if anyone can point me in the right direction i would really really appreciate it ....

I want to put this guy in jail for good, i also contacted local authorities and they said hes not in the county so they'll transfer the case to his county, which does not make sense to me ...


p.s the ad is gone this morning, i think he knows that i know now ....

please help...

wanna know where he lives goto public records clerk of courts in his county... if he has a driving violation or criminal record hes able to be found... what a way to post #420 lol

If he has taken the add off its probably gone.I would have called the add and when I saw my stuff I would have taken it.

I have a dog.A pitbull.Im about to get another one so this one has a mate.When people come over,and I dont have people over much,I put the dog in another room so they dont get familiar with each other.A dog is the best security system for a house in the world.In my opinion a good guard dog is better than a gun.

Sorry your stuff got stolen.Atleast it sounds like you can replace it.Even though it still sucks atleast you will have what you need for school, job,etc..

Wow red thats fucked to a whole new degree. but honostly makes tons of sense. Its always some close to you or was close to you. Shit id be looking at my ex too... If they know each other and she bounced right afterwards two things happened...

1. She was freaked the fuck out and just couldnt deal with it...

Or

2. She was ready to leave and she didnt want to leave with nothing so she set this up with your ex friend.... Since they know eachother that very weird to me....

You got his phone numbers and shit but cops are worthless... a PD would be your best shot i know you dont have the money but fuck... Im so sick of shity fucking people.....

I have the contract, there were witnesses when we exchanged, everything signed, date and notaried ? ya i didnt want any of those because he was a good friend and i tried to help him out ...

i think for 15k the court wont do anything unless its 50 or more? or so i was told i would be wasting time and money trying to get that 15k back so what i did was just let it go ...


anytime time for work

cheers,

Don't do this yet but if you run out of ideas and clues, make his information public on Craigslist in his old/new county.. hell even on this site. Pics, name, aliases, addresses, old email addresses/usernames, old cars he may have had etc.

Upload everything and expose this fucker for the scum he really is. Even if it does nothing to recover your stuff it'll probably scare him shitless.
