  so one of the renters you evicted has left an apartment full of valueable items, you don't try to sell it to recover some of their default?

Never had that happen but I would ask my lawyer before I did anything with the stuff. I was lucky as my wife worked in a law office and as long as we did not come-off as too "needy" we got almost free services and only had to pay for court time.

Mostly it was renters skipping out during the housing boom when they could buy a house cheaper than what they were paying for rent.

The funny part is I always tried working with good renters that wished to buy a home and let them out of their lease. In fact I sold one of the homes to a renter. I did not stoop to renting to section 8ers so on the whole I decent luck with renters.

I always wondered if Karma caught up with those that skipped what with all the "creative financing" available at the time.

galahad......Hard knock world aside I'm sort of surprised that you would condone blatantly illegal activities on a public gun forum. 

I have ALWAYS supported the view that BAD LAW NEED NOT BE OBEYED, just as M.L. King, and of course the Founding Fathers believed.  One must simply acknowledge that it is entirely possible that the government will go after the victim of crime rather than do their absolute best to achieve justice.  When the government tells people that it is illegal for them to remedy a personal situation, i.e. when someone TAKES YOUR PROPERTY, it is extremely clear that from ANY moral perspective that it is the right of the injured person to make himself whole.  That is the ENTIRE CONCEPT of "justice" and is our right to seek it in the most expeditious manner possible.  In the case of $300 it is idiotic to seek "justice" from the court system, and eminently rational to remedy the situation outside of the governments "justice" system.



Look at it this way, when the guy STOLE MY LABOR he has acknowledged that I have paid in advance for whatever I want that is his.
