Just got screwed ...

Bought some rims and found out that they were stolen , now the owner wants his rims back.. and of course I won't give it back, but he still got a case against me for buying stolen items ... anyways he's willing to settle it and give me his current rims(15"s rota slips) to trade in with his old advans .. but man... i'm about to just go ahead and take his 15s and call it even ... I have too many problems in my life right now and now another problem ? this is too much drama for yo momma ... I should've checked with him first before I bought the rims ... tsk tsk tsk ... oh well .. u win some u lose some .. !

well its not my fault, but it was my responsibility to check the original owner first before i bought the rims... ! It was a good deal and I couldn't pass it up ... I can get all my money back and sue the guy that I bought the rims from, but i'm not gonna freaking go through all that trouble .. so i'll just take his rotas and give him his rims ... I gotta take care of other things and I don't wanna have a shootout with nobody ... so i'm willing to take take my loss and live on .. this was the risk that I was thinking about when I was buying these rims ... !

well, he doesn't work at discount tire anymore ... he said he used to work at discount tire ... but anyways, I can't even get a hold of this dude and I have a feeling that there is no way that this guy is gonna give me my money back ... i'm about to head out to the police station and try to get this settled.. hope it goes through with me .. !

Heres the deal :
From Marcus's(guy who owns the rims) side for the story, he's cousin made up the story about him owing him any money. What happened was, when Marcus was out of the house, Mike called him and told him that their apt. was broken into and stole some stuff including Marcus's rims. Well they both went to the sheriff dept. and reported the burglary, the police report states that both Marcus and his cousin said that the rims were stolen. Well the whole time his cousin stole the rims from him, hide it and then sold them to me. I didn't know that these rims were stolen, but I knew that these were previously marcus's and I believed his cousin's story about Marcus owing him money.

Well we got it taken care of at the police station today and Marcus provided all the documents (receipts and a call to the shop) stating that these rims were his. Theres only a few set of 4X100 here in houston, probably one or two, but the owner of the shop were he bought it from said that those were marcus's rims, no doubt. But anyways the cops issued a warrant on marcus's cousin, so they can bring his *** to jail and I can get my money back. And Marcus was kind enough to let me roll on his rims for the time being, until I can get my money back and get some new rims.

I have a paperwork, which was a receipt of the purchase for the rims from mike... which was notarized by the notary public .. !

So Mike, the cousin, who wanted you to believe that Marcus was the deadbeat loser, was really the deadbeat loser the whole time!

****** smelled a rat, I did!

So that was really nice of Marcus to let you hang on to the rims til cousin butt ****** gets arrested and gives you your money back!

I hope someone gets him up the rear in jail like he tried to do you!

I hate thieves!
Yeah, me too....
its sad that it had to happen to me ... I just see it as a challenge in life .. i deal with it and get on with my life .. money is not important to me ... my family, my gf, my friends and my life is important to me ... thats why when i sell stuff to most of my friends i'm willing to lose almost everything, so that they would know that I wouldn't **** them over or try to lowball them... I guess i'm just too kind ... if this was me 5-6 yrs ago .. I would've raised hell and shot someone, but i'm getting old .. I don't need to be into that .. !

um I didn't read all those long posts...lol but from what I read according to law u can keep the rims you bought off of that guy, even though the owner said the rims u bought were his rims, because unless he has his vehicle's VIN number inscribed in the rims or wrote his name in it, he can't really say it's his...where's his proof? There's none if I can assume, but u have the proof of a reciept.

oh yeah, no doubt i'll win.. a bunch of my friends can witness that he sold them to me, even eklipz and 6thgener were there when he was sellin it. I even took down his drivers license and got a notarized receipt for the rims... so he basically screwed himself in the *** ... but I don't really want to go through all the court troubles ... I hate courts ... I just wanna get it done and over with... if I ever see him on the streets, there is no doubt that i'll demand my money .. !
