So, "TheHoss" talked me into letting him take one of my vehicles on payments back in August. Okay, I’ve financed vehicles before. Had relatively few issues till now. I suppose it was a matter of time before it would bite me. At the time I had an uneasy feeling, and regret not telling him to shove off. Even though I had sold him a car before with no issues. He sold that one back to me and was suppose to get the title. Turns out he got a title loan so I can kiss that title goodbye.
So he heads off to Washington for a “well paying job” but funny how he couldn’t (or wouldn’t) pay me.
After a go round of excuses, in between jobs, etc, I let it go for a minute.
Went to message him today for an update about payment and see he blocked me. I go to find his wife. She also blocked me. Got on my 2nd acct and messaged both.
Talk about timing, because I got a letter today from a tow company in Washington. Vehicle had been abandoned. From what the lady tells me, police report stated it was abandoned IN the road and someone called 911 as they had almost had a collision with it. Drunk? On drugs? Who knows. I know he has several DUIs.
So while I am running numbers to see if it’s even feasible to run up there and grab it, I decided it wouldn’t be by the time I pay towing, storage, lodging and fuel. So I’m cutting my losses.
TheHoss finally replied, said he has no room for negativity in his life and that he has no idea what vehicle I am talking about. That got my BP up. Why are people so incredibly dishonest? Absolutely no qualms lying about taking a vehicle. Unreal.
We had been friends since 2012 and he never displayed this type of outright thieving dishonesty. I thought he really wanted to start over and make a go with his family but instead he screwed me over. Thanks Hoss. If you ever see this post and want to man up, please do.
All I can do is pray God takes the anger/irritation away and I forgive and move on. Bit of a spendy lesson, but a lesson learned just the same. Thing is, I was willing to work with him, but the problem with crooks is you give them an inch, they take 347 miles.
Before someone comments that I should sue. I don’t believe in suing. I believe in people keeping their word, and if they don’t, they can exit right out of my life.
And just maybe, karma is real and he’ll receive his. Who knows.
Another thing that bothers me. What is it about me that attracts these crooks? This isn’t the first time, and sadly probably not the last.
The last one I let in my life stole all my pain pills. And this was a “good guy” from church. Can’t trust anyone.
