As an objective outsider, I see two possibilities: 1) Your neighbor is lying: he snuck onto your yard, wrote his name on the underside, and the called the cops. 2) Your neighbor isn't lying. He really did buy them and put his name on them. Somebody else came by his house, stole them, put them in a box and returned them to Walmart (getting >$100 cash by returning them). WalMart re-shelved them. You, unknowingly, purchased them and put them on your lawn. I think that the first scenario is more plausible.
Lol, I was wondering when someone was going to suggest that particular option...emotional distress indeed; what with being separated from santa himself!
This is pretty damn funny regardless of the turnout. Hopefully, the cops can sort this out. How can they deny your co-worker's facts if he has a legitimate receipt and boxes? Hell...go to Wal-Mart and check their surveillance video showing the co-worker buying the merchandise on the date/time on the receipt. Are cops so gullible that they think it's not possible for someone to sneak on someone else's property in the middle of the night and write their initials on the bottom of inflatables? Just because it is completely absurd doesn't mean it didn't happen. I think some polygraph tests are in order as well.
Good, that should be easy to prove that he bought them, then. You know, your opponent this week is an attorney (actually, about half our league is). Maybe he'll help your friend out if you somehow forget to start Larry Johnson.
Logic dictates there is something else afoot here. This would have to be a part of an ongoing fued probably precipitated from a misunderstanding or perceived slight. One note, many credit cards will cover the replacement of lost or stolen items within a certain time period. The story as told is certanly theft by deception though the request would probably be honored for it's entertainment value alone. The call center dude that got that one would be the hit of the water cooler.
the more i think about it, the more i feel the "reporters" aren't the real culprit here. if anyone is to blame, it's Walmart. They were the ones who robbed your coworker of $100 b/c there's no way they were worth even half that.
reggietodd said this is a coworker's story, not his own. reggietodd, I hope your coworker at least can describe the policeman and remember the patrol car number, and sue his ass and the neighbor or anyone else involved for this treachery. I say you call JIM ADLER!!! El Martillo Tejano!!!!!
LOL. My team is peaking right now, but I still need some RB help outside of LJ. Maybe Fred Taylor will be healthy this week. How do you know who I play already? Who do I play?
I should've posted this earlier... Hey, reggietodd, is your coworker MEXICAN? We have a tendency to bring each other DOWN like crabs in a bucket...
Your coworker's got a date with INTERNAL AFFAIRS and a call to make to MARVIN ZINDLER, EMILY AKIN, WAYNE DOLCEFINO, or PATRICIO ACOSTA (univision 45's version) that's even funnier. TRUE.
