Accidentally stole a Mesa cab
- Thread starter InAbsentia_
- Start date
yea well the guy who the cab belonged to needs to not be a dick about it because HE LEFT HIS SHIT SITTING OUT ON THE STREET
i don't know about you guys, but where i live, i assume that if my kid leaves her 16" barbie bike in the front yard for a couple hours, come crackhead is going to run off with it. not to justify this sort of shit at all, but come on - you leave an item worth hundreds of dollars sitting out on the curb, completely unattended, for a lengthy period of time...and then he wants to get shitty about someone taking it? fucking please.

Well I'm curious as to where exactly the cab was left; first of all, is this like a typical house with a small front lawn and then a sidewalk? So was the cab sitting on the sidewalk away from the house (where people often put their garbage to be picked up), or was it close to it?

you should give the cab back, then beat the shit out of the guy for assaulting you, all will be fair then.

I still think my suggestion would've been your best bet to begin with (1st thread response)... it is completely passive (no confrontation, no arguments, no hassle), it gives the guy his gear back and depending on whatever you wrote, it would maybe give him a little perspective.
All that said... you tried to help the guy out and he laid hands on you, so IMO it's NOT your responsibility anymore to make sure your friend does the right thing, it seems you attempted to and the guy hindered you helping him. If you still assisted him in getting it back after all that, it'd be above and beyond at this point.

Typical house. It was sitting next to a bin on the sidewalk. Within one foot of it.
Surprisingly, yes.
I just assumed the guy would be civil about someone trying to return his stolen shit. Apparently such assumptions should not be made ever!

At this point I would've rather put this thing aflame with lighter fluid in front of his house than give it back. If that guy had any sort of functional brain he would have understand the nature of this problem...stuff you place next to the trash could be considered trash and picked up... its not that hard. Instead he assaulted and threatened you.
my vote: screw that guy, keep the cab

I hate that supercow !
Or tell him: I dropped it off where it was before, next to the dumpster, maybe someone else took it.

Not sure what country you're in, but I'll guess that in most reasonable societies, "uttering threats" is a crime. It is here in Canada, anyway.

A major +1 to this. Give the cab to the cops, tell them everything and don't leave out that this guy, who is obviously a psycho, threatened to kill your friend. Hell, he went driving around the neighbourhood with a knife the evening it was taken. Where I'm from this seems to have gone so far that the only way to properly get out of the situation is to contact the cops.

Sounds like shit!
This here.
UNLESS your taking shit from a club/bar when they don't pay the guarantee. Take all that shit and sell it. Fuck asshole club owners (92% of them).

The venue I work in doesn't usually do guarantees cause the crowds can be hit or miss, occasionally they do and when they've got independant promoters obviously it's their choice whether or not to have one, but how do you know what the club owns and what belongs to others?
Where I work I've got some backline, the monitor rig is mine, I've got a few extra pa tops, some outboard and tons of mics/cables. If a band stole this "shit" to get back at the bar I'd be the one out of pocket not the bar, had people attempt this and it's not cool when some shitty band walks off with some of your mics and passes it off as an accident when they get caught. I make a living doing sound/recording so if someone robs my drum mics I can't work

Really, have you EVER seen a Mesa cab just hanging out on the sidewalk? who just throws their cab away, really? I'd have assumed it most likely was NOT garbage if I was in that situation.

Like a boss
I would create a series of videos, similar to the beheading videos. Threaten the cab in a foreign language, and have it tied up or something.
