Advise needed.

[Scott Lee]

TheDragon...Anyone can sue anyone for anything for any reason. Whether they can WIN is the question. Is it worth all the expense and aggravation is the next question. The answer to both is no. Do not worry that he may take you to small claims court. You do not need a lawyer. It's, at best, a civil issue...not a criminal issue. You both go in front of the judge...tell your stories...and the judge decides. Doubtful that he would decide in the favor of the father missing his daughter's cue. Worst case scenario, the judge decides in his favor and he gets a $125 judgement against you. You can wish him good luck collecting on it. End of story. Don't worry about it...it's NO BIG DEAL.

What's gonna happen if he file the charges?

What's gonna happen if he file the charges?

The police would ask him a couple of questions then politely explain that they don't arrest people just because he suspects you may have taken the cue.

Like I said, politely reason with him and he will sense you didn't do it.

Blue Cue

I'm missing a blue cue too.
It disappeared the last time I was around a bunch of AZer's.
If anyone see's a blue cue with a curley porchwood forearm please call the FBI.
This cue was my main blue player.
Reward offered, no questions asked.

Just tell him

to kiss your blue covered a**!

Unfortunately, he is shit out of luck. You can legally tell him to kiss your ass, you don't have it and he doesn't have a leg to stand on. If there were people in his house moving something, then he let them in there and it is his responsibility to watch them at all times. If they took something, it's his fault, not yours.

I'd ignore the guy because there is absolutely nothing he can do or prove.

And, if he keeps pushing the subject. ....

Tell him to Feck Off or you will press charges for harassment. Start documenting/recording the times he calls you if you are really worried about it.

[TheDragon]

Thanks for all the advise guys.
I sent him a picture of the rack with all the house cues and politely told him to F**K off and stop wasting my time, and then he told me that he will call the moving company in the morning.
To be continued...

Go buy an ugly, cheap, blue cue and set it on fire on video and send it to him, or put it in a wood chipper. Sorry but $125, get a lawyer, hahahahaha that's funny. I was 10 or 12 years old and watching the peoples court, this gentleman that was 65-70 had been cheated out of .65 cents from a vending machine. After months of calls, and even certified letters he spent $65-80 plus lots of hours trying to get back .65 cents. The Judge stared at him and started to laugh, explaining to the man that yes, it's your money and you deserve to be compensated, but I'm only going to grant you $1. And told him some time's when you win, you really Loose.

Don't get bent out of shape. Do you mind telling us, what kind of table it was: brand and size and how much you spent on the table. This might add some more laughter to this thread. NOT LAUGHING AT YOU, BUT AT HIM. Getting a lawyer to even write you a letter might cost more than he got for the table.

Who ever said: the daughter sold it and bought some blow, now that was funny

 

[thrash attack]

Nothing. He's got NO CASE. The burden of proof showing that you stole the cue rests in HIS camp. If, as you say, you are completely innocent of his accusations, then you have absolutely no worries!

Dude, let it go!!!

Maniac

Of course he doesn't have a case it was probably stolen with the cue

 

[poolhustler]

Tell him you honestly looked for any cue matching that description and the only thing you had were plain house cues. Continue with letting him know that while you understand that he is upset that his daughter misplaced her cue, accusing you of stealing it is completely out of line and if he feels he needs to pursue this in small claims court than he is more than welcome. Lastly, let him know that you would never think this of anyone, but this could easily be construed as an attempt to scam you out of another $125, which you are sure he would never even think of, but you would be more than willing to mention in court if it went that far.

Yes.. Do that in writing and mail it to him certified, return receipt mail.
