Thumbs up

You might decide to hold off for a couple days just to give the person the chance to return it first... you know, save you the time and hassle in court - save the forum the scandal (it's one of those things that we'd almost rather not know, know what I mean?).
Post your mailing address and let the person return the money - best of both worlds.. or let them contact you via made up hotmail account etc.
I't sounds like a spur of the moment thing as opposed to premeditated - that tells me that they probably wish they could take back their mistake, and this would be their chance...
If you don't get any results that way, then, by all means, take the ugly route and contact EPS (and we'll watch the show).

Unbelievable. I would gladly pay a 10% surcharge to any future purchases to help you get this money back.

Some people suck.

Man that sucks. I sure hope you get the money back. I do know that if I had gone to see you that day I would be more than happy to speak to the Police just to clear my name and try to help you. Cause unfortunately those 6 people that come to see you, in the back of your mind there all guilty (Not to put words in your mouth). Man I feel bad for you.

My wife works for the RCMP in morinville. She suggests filing a police report as soon as possible in this matter. If you give the chance for this thief to spend the money it is possible you may not see it again.

I Hope it all works out in the end. A 10% increase in price is nothing for the service you provide to your customers.

That is disgusting. Would this be a member on this board?

i appreciate the support
there were some members of this board at my home today.
Once again, I am not pointing any fingers and want everyone to know that was here that I have a hard time believing it was anyone that is from this board. Everyone that was here today from the forum has been in my home a few times and I haven't had any problems.
So I don't know what to think.
I do have the name and phone numbers of the people that were here. However, I really don't want to involve, incriminate or definitely judge anyone unnessarily.
I am truly sorry for those who have become inadvertently involved in this simply because they were at my home today.
Once again
thanks for the support
Neal

Good luck. I hope the person who did this drops off the money before the police have to get involved.

Default Okay, my two cents

Sorry to hear about the loss.

Based on the fellowship you receive from this site, I think you must be a pretty decent person ... but, I do have a `but' for you ... I'd feel `funny' buying stuff from you that has a 10% stealing surcharge added to it. I didn't take anything, so why should I be paying for that?
