Heres the bottom line on law enforcement, as I knew it when i got out last year. There isnt a LOCAL cop anywhere who is going to do anything about this. If I contact the jurisdiction there I MAY be able to FILE a report, and that will be the entire extent of their involvement. This kid was all worked up and begging me to call the police in his town to tell them it was all good. This is a GENTLEMENS agreement over an internet forum that didnt go as I would have liked and thats that.
There was a post about it not being cool that I let someone else run with this or something along those lines. I cannot control what anybody in Washington does, nor have I asked anyone anywhere to do ANYTHING about this. I refrained posting after my first initial posts because the kid HAS been in contact with me, and it appear(s)(ed) that he was going to satisfy his obligation. EVEN if he doesnt I am a 37 year old man with 37 year old responsibilities, and if he doesnt ship rims and tires for my "toy" truck then I suppose I'll get up an hour earlier for a few days to make sure the sun still rises as I suspect it will.
I posted the text messages more to show his frame of mind to anyone else who may fall "victim" as I did.
Lets keep it all in perspective. Am I disappointed in the trade? sure. Will this be the last instance of disappointment I encounter in my life? I doubt it.
As far as I am concerned, this thread can be deleted or locked or whatever else a moderator feels is appropriate.
DOO DOO DOES OCCUR
I can buy another wraith, Axial will make more.
Thanks everyone
