Squatters destroy house, steal car...no charges.

[Zundfolge]

I came home, squatter pulled a knife and attacked when I inquired who he was and why he was in my house, I dispatched him. Police show up. knife in squatters hand. justified self-defense. not another word to be said.

Well now that you've posted that, better hope it doesn't actually happen to you or this thread will show up in your trial as evidence.


Hey if I get seated on your jury, don't worry I'll vote to nullify

The last tenants I had did a lot of damage and skipped on rent. They also took the car they made two payments on under contrac5t, and took it with them when they left. I can't find them to sue them or get my car back. I went and tried to report it stolen, but because it has a contract the PD can't report it stolen. I went to the DA, who said to report it stolen. After $7000 in damages and skipping on $2200 for a car, I'm done "helping" people.
The laws are definitely written to protect law breakers. I'm no longer going to be a landlord because of all the BS laws.

How awful. You could hire a skip-tracer to find out where they went. It'll cost a bit of money, and they may not be ale to locate them until about 30 days have passed, but it may be worth it.

WRT financing a car privately, I have to ask: Does it EVER work?

It just seems to me that when someone says "I really need to buy this $4000 car but I only have $150. Can I just make payments to you?" what they are basically saying is "please let me steal your car."

I haven't had it happen to me in over a decade but back around 2006 I put my old Subaru up for sale. I got at least half a dozen people emailing me with stories of woe and asking could they make payments, swearing they were "good for it" and adding that "I'll let you hold on to the title!" as if that is any kind of security.

I told them all the same thing: If you need a loan, go to the bank.

But the fact that they asked told me that there were people out there who actually do this and it amazed me. I could see maybe - MAYBE - doing this kind of arrangement with a family member but a total stranger? No way in hell.

I learned long ago: do not give loans; give gifts or cold stares, but never a loan.

That doesn't mean shit. You think you're going to bat your lashes and go, "tee-hee, I'm just a girl," and everything will be all right? After what you posted?

It wouldn't be the first, or last time, someone on here posts the same exact thing.
