look what i can do!!
So Bob is in Moab (EJS) having a good time at a party with his friends and others, when another attendant (Stella) decides to leave the party early in the morning and runs her truck into Bob's property (4RUNNER TOP) and DESTROYS it! (Stella should not have been driving probably;)) Stella does not take the time to find out whose property she has damaged and leaves... bob the next morning discovers the damages and with little effort is told by several sources that Stella was the cause of the damages! Moab EJS ends... Bob wife drives home in the rain with no top! Bob gets home and calls Stella, at which time Stella admits to damaging Bob's property and says that she will pay for all the damages. Total damages for used top is a minor $300 Dollars. Keep in mind bob just wants comparable replacement, forget the fact it was extremely inconvenient for him to have to locate and have shipped from SLC to St. George. Bob still only asked for the replacement part price of $300, Bob’s friend did not ask for gas and or travel expenses. Bob calls Stella sever times to get compensated for damages with no answer; he leaves many polite messages with no response. About a month ago Bob runs into Stella at the bar and confronts her at which time she says she gets paid two days later and will pay up. It has been a month and Stella still will not return phone calls... Stella has a nice diesel tow rig and a Tacoma crawler on 40" tires, and owns a business the probably makes more than $300 in several weeks, Stella has also been spotted at the bar several times since spending BOB'S money on liquor! When confronted at the bar by bob's friend (who drove 650 miles round trip to deliver the top for free), Stella says she has no money, but had enough to pay for her tab no problem... WHAT SHOULD BOB DO NEXT?

Why was this original thread pulled????????


But anyway. Bob ought to start thinking about court, because she's dodging him and needs to make it right. He's done his part and given her enough time.

I don't know about Bob but Stella seems like a drunk and should pay Bob just before she checks into rehab.

Pirate always loves some drama!!! Anyone aware of names/numbers coming out on Pirate would likely be VERY willing to pay up.

Of course ... go through the motions on Pirate, not just an immediate posting of name/number -- keeping this post linkied up to the pirate helps all enjoy the drama

oh, and bummer about the top/situation ... hopefully some peer presure will resolve this quickly for you

I'm with Tacoma, its time to go to court. Bob's got witnesses and hopefully something in writing or recorded a phone conversation. After he gets his money out of small claims Bob should issue a $300 beatdown though. Mostly because I want to see what a $300 beatdown looks like!

so basically we need a new option ... almost all of the above

Bob is SOL and Stella is stupid for driving. The real problem is that Stella got behind the wheel, what if someone was passed out UNDER/NEXT TO the top? Bob (and others at said party) should have been watching out for idiots driving under the influence... and prevented it.

Drama... :rolleyes:

Oh, I think Stella is digging a hole. If I were Bob, I'd be upping the anne and adding in freight and personal suffering. Small claims goes up to $10 grand these days me thinks.

cause that would solve the problem.

you want my oppinion? Court won't solve the problem because they can't MAKE you give money if he really doesn't have it. Fighting him over it or damaging his personal property won't get anywhere and just puts you at an even lower level--intentionally damaging someone's property would eliminate any recourse you could have had in court Vigilante justice died in the 1800's anyway.

I'm pretty sure stella doesn't have much money. I know for a fact that Stella's friend El Guapo has loaned her money to come have a beer at the bar several times in the last couple months because of a lack of funds. Further, I think we all know that when you have 20 bucks in your pocket it's a lot easier to go and spend it on a beer with some friends than it is to put it in savings to pay back a bonehead debt.

It sucks, but the best and probably the only way to get anything out of stella is to continue to be friends with her and hope that when funds do come around she'll own up to her mistakes and pay up. I think it would eventually happen and it's not like she meant to damage anything just like she doesn't mean to be broke.

Besides, those 40's are bald anyway ;)

It might make you feel more comfortable being attracted to me if I were a girl.......but I'm not. Don't take the easy way out man. There is nothing wrong with.........that.

Maybe Brett could lend you bubba for a night to talk through the transition you're about to go through. I've heard he's very, uh, supportive.

:eek:
