Hey,
This drummer I've been in a band with the past year has filed theft charges against me that are about $1160 in value. The penalty is 15 years / $25,000.
Here's the list of things he says I've stolen:
1. guitar stand
- he's a drummer and i used this thing at shows and stuff all the time, when i moved out of his house, he said it was cool if i used it
2. lightscribe cd's
- these were for burning demos on the lightscribe drive i bought for burning demos - he doesn't even have a lightscribe drive
3. "computer hardware"
- he doesn't own any computer hardware besides a laptop he still has
4. an office chair
- this wasn't even his, was other guitarists chair. there's two more and the dude's fucking DOG at this guy's house. also, i don't have an office chair, i'm sitting on an old tv. A Television. no shit.
5. Said i was using his credit card without his knowledge
- he agreed to cover my car insurance with esurance and talked to esurance associate on the phone and entered his information online himself.
Does anyone have any experience or pro tips they can share?
I've never been to court for anything but a speeding ticket, so I'm completely in the dark here.
