my faith in decent people continues to falter
recovered the scooter. cops found some douche bag riding it in west asheville (read: ghetto). got the scooter for us, but we won't know until tomorrow if said bag of douche was arrested, released on bail, and/or available for us to press charges and possibly sue for a few paltry thousand. my dad said the dude prolly doesn't have that much, seeing as he stole the scooter, and i say i'm flexible and will accept monthly payments.
the bottom line is that the scooter was tore up. from the floor up. if it's not missing, it's damaged. every. single. piece. on the thing will have to be replaced, which will end up costing more than what we paid for it. and since we bought it used for half off, that's saying a lot. so, even if suing does not commence, we're still going to try to get another car. because even though the scooter is returned to its rightful owner, it is not drivable, and prolly never will be.
so i'm starting to understand why some people choose to lead sheltered lives. because living isolated is better than living in the path of dangerous humans.
