Got stuck in line behind some dude who didn't know the right pin to use the debit/credit card & wasn't sure if it was his card or his wife's and he argued when the clerk said she would keep him rung up
Another mooch at my friend's house overstayed his welcome again. He'd been refusing to pay any rent or contribute to pay for food, utilities, internet, etc-- all stuff that he used. He used more electricity than anyone else in the house. He constantly broke the rules & argued. He kept moving stuff around without asking and even moved stuff after being specifically told not to. Complained he was treated like a child but he acted like one. Friend told him he had to start paying & he cried and had a fit. When he go this next paycheck, instead of contributing, he bought a non-working junker truck & dumped it (along with another truck) in my friend's yard. Friend was livid bc the jerk claimed he spent ALL of the money he had on it. So he stole that guy's phone. Not the first time he stole stuff either.
IMO, my friend needs to report to the cops that this guy stole a house key & needs to give it back. My concern is he may have gotten copies made.
Sorry to have to tell you this but the POLICE will do NOTHING about people like that any more! Best you can do is NEVER let a mooch/junkie into your home in the first place! Thanks to the Democrats, they now have more rights than you do! I speak as a former landlord who has gone through all that with the now helpless police! The courts won't back them up doing anything! If the police do anything to bad people, they know the courts will give them 'The Chauvin Treatment' !!!
I felt sorry for a tenant once and let him stay on for 3 months after his rent was due because I knew he had a chunk of money coming. But when he got the money he bought a car with it instead and it immediately broke down and sat on 3 wheels on a neighboring property which brought complaints to me from the property owner. I had it towed to storage until the tenant paid up. He had the police go get it, we ended up in court, he lied to the judge... judge, unbelievably, ruled that I owed HIM money! Totally angry and disgusted, I never paid him... he had the nerve to demand the money! I told him: "sue me"... last I heard of it... many years ago... but I'm sure that undeserved debt is still on my record with the courts from that crooked court!
Btw, that first guy at the checkout sounds like a criminal trying to use stolen cards by using the George Floyd Technique of FORCING the clerk to accept them any way! And, once again, the police will be hesitant to do anything about it now!
Also, we get stuck with the expense/labor of changing the locks when a bad person moves who still has the keys and can still easily burglarize or attack us in our sleep!
