discuss I am being hijacked - I am soooo upset!!

[MapleDots]

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

How's it going? Are you "staked out?"
This is so exciting!

At the very least try to get some video before confronting him... are you really going to confront him? What if he has friends with him or if he is huge?
(so excited over here, maybe you could go facebook live with this)

 

[usernamex]

Plus how are you to know when the keys have been left, and what would be from preventing some other person then finding your keys and taking them from that spot?

When I re-read the thread more carefully @mr-x was first to suggest video which was entirely my plot above, likely too late for any sting ops now

This is some made for t.v kinda drama isn't it?
I'm like you... the edge of my seat wondering if @MapleDots is going to wake up missing a kidney.
Lmao

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.

That's the most Canadian thing I've ever heard

 

[Dream Big]

I hope you get your keys back.

I hope so too. I guess that will happen in Season 7, Episode 15.

At what point do we call the cops and tell them @MapleDots is now missing, last seen crouching next to a rock with a $100 bill?

YES - We should have had a back up plan, if @MapleDots didn't post again by xx o'clock, we call the mounties with his last known location and look for clues.

MapleDots was last seen: Today at 6:21 PM [forum time = US Eastern ]

There's only two clues..
1. Rock
2. Hundred dollar bill

Not much to go on.

Not to forget the 911 call he made and when police said its lost and found issue.

At this point I have no choice but to pay the $100 because the police say its a 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!

 

[Aspiring Billionaire]

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.

 

[junior2]

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

 

[junior2]

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?

 

[HotKey]

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

 

[420domainer]

What's a "payphone?"

 

[junior2]

I don't think so.

 

[junior2]

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.

 

[HotKey]

I don't think so.

Yes, I'm actually sitting on one. In front of an Internet Cafe.
