| | | We have a situation!
If anyone remembers [URL=http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/showthread.php?t=29794&highlight=fake]this thread[/URL] involving my cardboard eagle's looking real to Wisconson people talent, they would remember how rediculous it looked. Anyways, I lent it to a girl for a weekend who was driving to Wisconson. 3 weeks passed, and now it "loves her more" and "I will never give it back" have become her words of choice to me. This creates a problem. My 5 dollars that brought so much hilarity has been wasted because this fat girl has hijacked it. This is my checklist of things I will do to attempt to get back the eagle. Action on the left, result on the right.
1. Asking politely - resulted in the "it loves me" and "I will never give it back comments"
2. Asking angrily - resulted in calling me a stalker
Both results failed. So, I am left with two options, both are taking the cowardly route. But the eagle is important.
Option A: Call the fat chicks parents
Option B: Randomly show up at her house and ask the parents to make her get it.
I am planning on randomly showing up one day after school (tomorrow) and getting it back. Should the parents resist (it can happen here, trust me), I have a plan of action.
1. Point out how they failed to raise a daughter that gives back borrowed things
2. She is in love with a piece of cardboard that has feathers glued to it.
3. Random yelling and screaming
Anyone got any other alternatives?

| | | Well you could get the police involved but thats a bit extreme. I say just make random visits to her house.

| | | LOL. Or you can do that. Thats a sure way to get the police involved but like i always say it's not a crime unless you get caught.

Not entirely true. While yes the arguement will be made that it was his FAKE eagle, and she in essence also stole the FAKE eagle, he would have trespassed into her house, and depending on his method of entry, could be a crime. I say random visits, and definetly get her parents involved, it'll make things so much easier.

I wasn't saying stealing it back was a crime, I was saying the methods of doing so could be. i.e. forcing an entry which is trespassing...for all practical reasons he might set off an alarm, then he'd at the least have some "splaining" to do. All I'm saying is that its easier to get her parents involved.

| | | Murder her
Or you could make friends with her and just go to her house to chill out after a while (give a few weeks to allow her to cool off and forget about it). Sure, you have to hang out with a fatty, but eventually you can grab the damn thing and run off with it, laughing all the way. Never talk to her again.
DON'T get her parents involved. |

| | | The parents are not going to get involved, I've devised a plan with one of my friends that's a girl that will involve the girl nabbing it and running away with it. All of this will be done for a candybar. This'll be happing on Thursday, so hopefully it'll work.
I'm not going to break any laws in my lawsuit happy neighborhood, that's suicidal here. Just trust me on that.
