Take the guy with the Xbox to small claims court. They will make him pay or return it. If he returns it broken, take him back to small claims. He needs to learn to no do stuff like that to folks.

Taking him to small claims court won't get the X-Box back even if you get a judgement in your favor. All that gets is a judgement which he will never pay off. There is no criminal penalty involved. That may be your only recourse if the police won't do anything but all it will do is cost you more money and get a judgement that isn't worth the paper it's printed on. It will show up on his credit record but that's all.

I'm so sorry to hear how people have treated you. I have met some jerks also but don't stop believing there are good people out there! You have a generous heart. It would be fulfilling for you to give quilts to a homeless shelter or children going through foster care. I think the 'Linus project' could use some blankets. I'm not sure how to contact them. Maybe you could google Linus blankets or something.

God brings people in our lives for a reason, if only for a season. just live and learn. You are appreciated by a great many, we just dont have the quilts. ((((HUGS)))))

Thank guys. Now I don't think my quilts have some sort of relationship breaking up curse on them anymore. :)
And in regards to the XBox, I told him that he has until Thursday to set up a time so I can pick up my things and if I don't have them before then I'm calling law enforcement. All he is getting from the quilt I made for him is the label. Only because it has the jerk's name on it. When I finish the Slipknot quilt its going to my brother, who has been watching me work on it from day one and likes Slipknot so I know he'll appreciate it. |
