Well as you can see in the first post, these kids aren't the brightest stars in the sky. I can create an alibi pretty easily with them and also they still have phone booths in town that I can make my call from so when they confront me I can just say check my call log on the cell phone.
If they have no other suspects, they won't need proof or be interested in it. I can understand the sweetness of vengeance, but it's not wise to pick fights you cannot win. And from what i hear, this is one of those. [ninja edit] if it was 6 months rent, i'd say have at it, but i think 50 pounds is a very cheap lesson for you to learn to demand a deposit.
Because I have a sense of fairness, I'd like to see you do B) but unless you're moving house I wouldn't recommend it. I know myself from confronting groups of teenagers messing around on the building site which was at the time half of my cul-de-sac that it just brings practical tricks back on you (example, knocking on your windows at half 11 at night) so unless you can both make it look like it wasn't you, and prevent them easily finding you, I really wouldn't bother. That said, I imagine they will be druggies for years, so you could just wait 6 months until they've forgotten about you, and then tip the police.
Well i just got a call from the room mate who gave me an earful complaining that I painted his room when his **** wasn't all gone and that it was messed up that I would do something like that. I could have painted his room last night and told him to deal with it but I decided to wait until today since he was bitching about it being ****ed up that I would do that. I made sure no paint got on his stuff, no one was sleeping, and that all precautions were taken to make sure no paint got on his things, and while I said he had to be out by noon, he said he would be gone by 10am. I started painting at 10:33. I'm done with this joker. Within the next 24 hrs I will decide whether or not to call the cops on his new place.
If you can get the details maybe a polite phone call to his new landlord is warranted? I'm assuming you weren't contacted as a reference as this guy has a new place to go to.
It's college. He is in apartments now so the management could probably care less. I think I am going to wait until I know that there is definitely something going down at his place (party) then call the cops. It is past 12 and there is still things of here and I still have yet to get back my keys. He is a work right now and will be by later but still... like I said I am done, I am going to call the cops when I am no longer living here and I am going to make sure he gets expelled from university. The lesson here kids.... DON'T **** WITH ME!
If he's been such a pain in the ass why didn't you evict him? I think this is a bad idea, but maybe I'm just being too cynical.
I wont make a person homeless, but I have no qualms putting them in Jail or getting a felony on their record. There is a reason I live a Legal lifestyle as opposed to constantly taking risks with the law. The only thing he uses his PC for is homework, and random web surfing. He is computer illiterate. He doesn't even have facebook.
just remember karmas a bitch.. and snitches get what they get agree with krikket.. just be happy you got out with a jacked up table- at least you have the skills to fix it yourself
If everyone didn't snitch, then what would be the point in the Police? There's a difference in snitching against someone who was calling your names, and then snitching against someone who broke the law.
Sorry but there's no way in hell I can agree with your statement. If someone breaks the law, they should be reported. If someone destroys your property & does stupid sh*t, wel tough luck for them, they should be reported and they will accept the consequences of their ill-thought out actions. Actions & Consequences. Can't deal with the possible consequences of doing something? Don't do it. Simple as that. And really, snitching? "Wahhhh mommmyyyy he called me a meanie!!! waaah" is quite different than the current situation. If you see a guy break into your neighbors' house, will you not tell the police about it because it's "snitching"? Heh.
oh joy, whilst moving furniture.... Carpet with puke on it! Also the whole deal with snitching. I work doing software for Law Enforcement. I don't care about snitching, the software does it all the time. the kid is always saying he needs to stop doing stupid **** or something bad will happen, well guess what is about to happen. Like I said, i am doing this when I am moving out in 4 months so if he drives by then it is not my problem.
Then I'm definitely all for it. Make sure that idiot gets a lesson learned, or made into "Bubba's Biatch" during some jail time.
One thing worth mentioning, if your house had become a target of the police due to drug activity, you could have ended up in just as much trouble as the lodger. I would never allow anyone to bring drugs into my house or use them either, and that was the same when I was single too. I had some friends who smoked pot, and I had no problem with it, as long as it wasn't in my house. By allowing someone to consume drugs in your house, you could be seen as an accessory I think. And if drugs were found in your house, you would have to prove that you had no knowledge of them, which would be hard as it's your name on the deeds.
against you sure.. but going out to get someone on something unrelated like his drug use to put him in jail, that's a snitch.. you will be caught too it's karma.. depending on who you do it to, it may not happen now or even a few years from now.. but it will come back and kick your face up around the back of your ass I'm sure c-sniper knows this though.. or doesn't care.. it's not right in my book- but I'm not too fond of cops myself either
How is his drug use unrelated? That's what caused the problems in the first place. Hell, it's even what caused the burn marks on the table. Did you even read the OP? And stop banding around that karma crap, because it's bulls**t. The OP hasn't done anything wrong.
