The question was directed towards someone else but I got curious about this and looked it up. It's kinda interesting. (kinda is used loosely)

All rise.

The petitioner Cowboy Angel come forward.

Know all burners by these presents:

Know ye that such statutes as pertain to the poking of bearers of white mustaches define penalties not exceeding the following should the mustaches together curl no less then 30 degrees tangential to the septum therebetween: the offender shall be deemed and thereafter known by all as a nudnik. Further, the offender shall be required to place on his/her person a pair of wool underpants, then shall he/she be seated in the back seat of vinyl upholstered sedan between the parents of his/her spouse, of those of his nearest, yet least loving relations.

In cases wherein the ofender shall dispute these penalties, yet such penalties be upheld by the Law Giver, and additonal penalty shall be assigned consisting of eating two pounds of semi-soft, unpasteurized sheeps's milk cheese and the imbibing of 1 (one) liter of Two Buck Chuck merlot which shall have remained open for a period of not less than three days prior the the assigning of said further penalty.

All rise.

The removal of mattress tags and all such insignia bearing notice of the existence of flame-retardent substances contained within such bedding shall be met with either of the following penalties, application thereof solely adjudged by the Law Giver and none else:

The offending party shall suffer the wetting of such bedding like unto that of a toddler. In cases deemed sufficiently egregious by and only by the Law Giver, such urinal emission shall occur whereafter the offender has failed to adequtely hydrate during a heavy meal of asparagus.

In the same instance, the Law Giver shall have at his sole discretion the ability to assign the following penalty:

The cat of the offender, or the cat of the offender's least favored housemate, relative or neighbor shall give birth to not less than 6 kittens on the bed wherefrom the tag was removed by the offender. This shall take place on the first evening following the departure of the offender for Burning Man, and shall be accompanied by unseasonablly warm weather for the duration of the offender's absences. The offender shall then experience no substantial degree of sleep or rest during said period of absence, and shall discover the couch to have already been claimed by a Rastafarian (though he shall have white skin and a trust fund) with lower than desired personal hygiene and a collective sense of property and victuals extending the last three remaining Dove Bars, the remainder of any pizza thereupon extent in the fridge, and that last vicodin the offender had been holding in reserve for just this sort of thing.

The Law Giver has spoken.

All are dismissed.

Law Giver -

I come to you for a judicial writ, or other form of vindication.

I posted this to the FUCK page a while ago, and now need help in order to figure out what to do.

Let me take you back to BM 2006. one of my life long mates and I (and 28 other friends - some better and some less known) all go th BM, This friend Tyler is broke, so I offer to help him out to BM 2006.

I pay his share of the fuel, buy his ticket, and let him eat my food. During the event my camera goes missing (casio EXLIIM 6MP, 2 2MB cards, 2 extra batteries, case, and all peripherals - 850bucks worth)

So I am sitting in my office last week and the mail comes in. In the daily mail is a refund check and a computer generated note expressing sorrow that the camera I returned was not to my liking. Included was the check for the extended warranty (79.95) and a copy of the return slip. With my friends info on it. I bought it enroute and simply put the sales slip in the box with all of the stuff incase of problems during BM

Tyler has made no attempt to rectify the situation, when I faxed him the cover letter, and a note that said simply -

Tyler -

What The Fuck? scribbled across the letter from CompUsa

Any thoughts -

While I cannot speak for the Law Giver, it would appear that Tyler stole your camera and cashed in the warranty. That's what the fuck.

So go get him.

A pajama party does sound like fun! Just don't invite Tyler, okay?

BTW, have you contacted CompUSA about this? I'd be curious what they have to say about refunding the money to him.

they refunded the purchase price for the camera, and peripherals to him directly in the store. The refund I received was for the extended warranty as it was through a third party.

I was thinking that conntacting CompUSA, with a copy of the refund letter, and telling them that the camera had been stolen and they should not have given the guy the money might prompt them to do something to accomodate you, and for them to take action against Tyler. It would then be their and Tyler's problem to work out.

It would be worth a shot, IMO, and cheaper than small claims court (the other idea which comes to mind). Well, there is also the approach to just forget about the whole thing, but that doesn't seem as likely to satisfy you.

Not that it makes a difference now, but why wouldnt compusa ask for ID when returning such a large purchase? It seems to me that Ive always had to show My Drivers license to return larger purchases? ie...so they can track possible "repeat returners".?????

I still say kick his butt! Or wait and watch as Kharma gobbles him up into the deep dark abyss that will be the rest of his misserable life.
