    Today Was Our Day Screw-Em!!

     



    Well today was our day; I will paraphrase a little of Herb Brooks from the US Olympic Hockey team for the Title.

    I posted my story in another Thread but I didn't want to get that one started up again.

    I had stated I had been robbed for a building that I paid 75% of.

    Some of you may have read about me paying for a building last Dec. the guy took 75% our money and didn’t come back. It was my fault, my wife thought that was a lot of money and we should think about it but I said oh he’s ok.

    All I can say is if someone does you wrong get as much information and document it the best you can. I would like the think we help the Prosecutor bring him to this point. It’s not over but I’m relived we have got him this far.

    Thanks, it's been a tough year, it's like I let it consume me. Now I can relax for a while.
    I was happy we really had a good Prosecutor Lady on our side.

    Richard,
    The new building is nice. Going through this can't be easy, but it sounds like there is at least an ending in sight.

    Always nice when you can get one of the bad guys, of course getting a judgement is only half the job, next you need to collect if you haven't already.

    As for the building...................looks like a western version of the Taj Mahal (or as some call them, a garage Mahal)............nice space!!

    florida,

    For right now it's just to get some cars out of the garage where I had no room to work plus the cars that were sitting out side.

    Thanks Bob,

    We didn't think we would get anything but I wanted him to pay for what he did not only to us but the other people that could not have the Prosecutor represent them. Their cases were Civil and the Attorney fee's could cost more then they loss.

    If you don't mind saying, what was your cost for the building? Was it built from scratch or is it a prefab?
