In one of my previous threads titled: "Man, am I mad!" I bitched about buying a really nice three-place Herman Miller "Chicklet" sofa for a pittance at a local thrift store.
Someone later showed up and removed the 'sold' tags, and away it went.
This week a police detective friend of mine ( who also happens to moonlight in art and modernist furniture) found it!
Sure enough, it is in the front window of a very small "mod shop" in the city.
Tomorrow I am going to confront the owner - who happens to be about 6'5" and about 275 lbs ( I will have to stand on one of his Saarinen model 71's to look him in the eye).
Anyway, I will let you all know how it goes.
Awesome!
What I always do:
First, shave you head and sculpt a new haircut out of peanut butter.
Then, put fake blood under your eyes and nose.
Next, bark like a dog and threaten to bite if said chicklet is not returned.
It also helps if you have an iguana on a leash.
Repeat until desired results occur.
I could see him doing two...
I could see him doing two things;
Claiming that the item did not have a sold tag on it when he purchased it
He got if from a 3rd party and it must have been this ?mystery man? which nabbed it from the thrift store
You could even call his bluff with some ?testimonies? 😉 from the thrift store sales staff
Run through every scenario before you go in, that way you?ll be well prepared for battle! Best of luck
Cover me - I'm go'in in!
I have a job interview tomorrow (Friday ) so I will be near the "perps" store.
To add a bit more folly to the situation I will be making my visit to him in a very stuffy business suit afterward.
I thought it prudent NOT to confront him beforehand and leave open the possibility that I show up for my interview with a flattened nose and a fist full of my hair missing.
Perhaps I should remove my tie before confronting him...as to eliminate at least one easy hand-hold by which he may lever me off the floor...hmmm.
Anyway, I will keep you posted.
round up the D.A. posse
Can you imagine if we all show up? But of course, we will only refer to ourselves by our forum aliases. I will not be wearing my business suit, but perhaps sweatpants, a black muscle-T, accessorized with a gold chain, a toothpick, and plenty of hair gel.
I hope he doesn't read this forum....
