Well tomorrow is the time to go into action. Sharlene told me today that he is peddling my laptop for $140. Now this is a rumor mind you, but I've got to do something soon before this idiot actually sells the thing and I lose all the files and pictures I have saved. Now there's a hard way and an easy way to do this. I was so angry that this prick would have the nerve to do anything to my laptop......since I don't owe him a dime....that my first idea was to go to his place...kick his door open....bust his head with my "police flashlight".....grab my laptop and leave. But that might land me in jail...but it might happen anyway. After talking to Sharlene we decided to do it the way I had told her to to get her clothes and personal items back. And that was to go to his house and call the police for them to meet her there and "escort" her into the house. It's called some sort of Protective type thing, like when a man and woman are getting a divorce and one wants to go back into the home to get their things but are afraid of a confrontation. Her problem was that since she has no transportation yet, she wold have to take the bus, and it would be hard carry all the things back to where she lived. So I told her to email me her current address and I would pick her up in the morning and we would both go to his place....call the police....and have them escort us into his place. I'll be bringing my Fry's receipt to show the laptop really belongs to me and it has of course the serial numbers to match to the laptop. If you all remember, I bought the laptop at Fry's in Vegas for about $800 on a trip when I got tired of going to Kinko's to go online.
I called this guy yesterday and told him I wanted my laptop back via voice mail, and he never called me back. After I spoke to Sharlene today and she told me it was rumored that he was selling it, I called him and went ballistic on his voice mail. I probably said some things that I shouldn't have said like, "if anything has happened to that laptop...or if you sold it....I'm going to slit your throat from ear to ear!" I also mentioned something about bashing his head in over and over until his own mother wouldn't recognize him. I flashed back to my bookmaking days when I had a customer that didn't want to pay up.
Now the trick is, how do I "sneak" up to L.A. that is about an hour and forty five minute drive.....and back....without Faye finding out? I guess I'm going to have to tell her I was on a "stake out" for serving process. But I really want that laptop back. My other choice if Star could get a ride, would be for her to go to his place....call the police.....and she get the laptop back with the police at her back.
BULLETIN!! BULLETIN!! This guy just called me and told me he didn't have my laptop. He's full of shit. He told me Sharlene had it but I know that's a LIE since she had just emailed me before she went to do the laundry and that's when she got arrested. This guy must have sold it and now he's going to have to pay.....dearly!
Well I have to email Sharlene and tell her the good news. I'll fill you in tomorrow....if I'm not in jail!
