So... I have a little tracker ( https://www.thetrackr.com ) on my keychain and the thing is really not reliable. It uses bluetooth to communicate and that in itself sucks, wireless would be much better.

So knowing this tracker is not overly reliable I made a sticker with my cell phone number and stuck it on the tracker key tag just in case I ever lose my keys.

Well it happened.... I lost my keys and the tracker was absolutely useless, it told me the last location was the grocery store and I knew that. My wife and I went shopping and she drove home instead of me so I did not realize I misplaced my keys.

Try as I may all I could see was the last location of my keys, then last night I get a phone call from some dick who said he found my keys and he wants $100 to return them to me. He was calling from a phone booth and told me to put the money under a rock at a specific location. He said once he has the money he will place the keys in the same location and we will both be happy.

What an underhanded son of a Bi%$h this guy must be >:(>:(>:(>:(

I don't really have much choice because the key electronic key fobs from both of my cars are on there and they would cost a small fortune to replace.

Why in gods name would he not just ask me for a reward for his time and effort instead of making me go through these insane shenanigans?

Anyways.... I said I need to go to the bank to get a $100 dollar bill and I will put it there after work today. I am inclined to go wait there to find out who the jerk is but he could be there at any time during the night and I can't stay up all night for 100 bucks.

Oh man...... I am just furious >:(>:(>:(>:(

Not to forget the 911 call he made and when police said its lost and found issue.
And don't forget about the karate class. Someone there must have seen which direction he left in... maybe they were carpooling with another kid who may have overheard something.... something!

If after I suggested to the guy that we meet instead, and he refused, I'd have written the keys off as a loss and focused my energies on spending the $500+ on the "school fees". Lesson learned, move on. Sometimes you gotta let the domains drop, or you'll end-up spending/losing even more time and money.

If he called you from a pay phone, they still have the recording on record. Have it court ordered that they give you the recording. Take the recording and show it to everybody in town, until he is caught. First take about 5 friends with paintball guns and hangout a little ways a way from the rock, and shoot the piss out of him, if he shows up.

I think you are full of crap anyways because payphones haven't been around for 5 years.

And how do you know he called from a payphone? Was you there when he called? Or did he just tell you that, and you believed him, even though payphones don't even exist anymore?

Oh yes they are still very much a part of the landscape in Ontario.

If that is true though I would be getting a hold of the businesses there, file a police report so they have to release the videos. They would have him on tape.

Just get a pain ball gun and put his eyes out, and it will be over.

Good wait for him to show up at the rock, and shoot his eyes out with a paint ball gun.

A daisy red writter would be cheaper, and it would do the job just as well.

Maybe put one of his eyes out, and give him a chance to give you the keys so he doesn't loose his other eye. Pull his trick back on him. If he is going to be a dick, be a punk towards him.

Either that or follow him home not letting him know you even saw him. Then you will have an address to give the cops.

But don't leave the $100 bill.

Hmm maybe the guy with the keys has kidnapped @MapleDots and is logged into the forum using @MapleDots log in details from Maples mobile phone, now he knows that Maples owns lots of domains and he is now standing over Maple with a pair of pliers threathening to extract his teeth one at a time unless he transfers all his domains over to him...AND give him the $100 he originally asked for! :xf.grin:

These are the intense situations where you wish you were friends with that gang across the street to back you up if things gone south. O_o:xf.rolleyes:

Maybe, that's what actually happening.

I called the cops and was put through to an officer who said it is a lost and found issue. He said its not ethical but would be hard to prosecute. In other words..... WE DON'T CARE
You're kidding! Lost and Found eh? You should have asked them what department that is, and to please transfer you there.

Hmm maybe they don't deal with stolen/lost property below $5000, which is the threshold for convictions vs fines.
