help on getting laptops back from ex.

[hitmanchronicles]

I have a little dilema and i need you guys opinion on this.

Last night i had an argument with my girlfriend and i broke up with her and i don't plan to ever go back with her.

The dilema here is during the argument, i was too tired to argue with her so i was packing my belongings and was bringing them to my car, soon as i was walking out the door she shut it and locked me out of her place while my 2 laptops are still inside which i plan coming back in again to get last.

Anyhow, to make the story short. NO, i do not want to get back with her, and YES i do want my laptops back. How do i go about to get it back? should i get the cops to involve in this? i tried to talk to her earlier this morning to get them back but she refused to give it back to me. I do need my laptops by tuesday for work. If i do get the cops into this do i have to file a complaint or how does it work? anyone? thanks in advance.

Give her one more chance to produce your property, informing her that you will call the police if she refuses. Then, if she refuses, call the cops. They'll either come out and help you retrieve your property or they will have you fill out a police report.

Moving to Anything Else.

Dillema? What dillema?

The h0 stole your laptop, and is refusing to give it back.
Call the cops on her!

If you want them back here's what to do.

1) Call the police- If she refuses to give the laptops back then she can be arrested for theft. If your side of the story is convincing enough it should give probable cause to obtain a warrant to enter her home and get the laptops back.

2) If step 1 doesn't work then file a lawsuit in small claims court.

Instead of using these tactics....try something a bit more subtle.

Leave her a message saying that you were in the wrong and would like to talk things over. Do whatever you can using manipulation to get her to let you come over. Once your inside the house start with the conversating, take note of where the laptops are (if they're in eye sight, or if she is suspicious and hid them, this will determine your plan of action).

If they are in eye sight (on the livingroom table where you left them or whatever) make a grab for them and bust out of the door. Its best to have them in your hands so that she cant take them and destroy them.

If she hid them well then its up to you to convince her to hand them over.

If all this fails then call the cops.

Shouldn't have to through all this effort just to recover what is rightfully his.

Usually, just the threat of contacting the police is enough to motivate the appropriate behavior.

If it doesn't, actually contacting the police will usually get results.

Yeah, and mention to her that they must be undamaged.

Don't give her any ideas. Just retrieve them. If they are damaged, sue the sh*t out of her.

Don't try to trick her with a fake apology. You meant what you said, don't take it back when you don't need to. Go to her, tell her that you want your things back without having to involve the police. If she doesn't comply, the law is on your side - use it.

Completely argee.......No cops, No mess. If it aint working, try other methods such as using make up sex.
If you get that far, start prowling the bed room, and if she asks, tell her your thinking of something kinky and getting ready (give her a wink too). Use the notion of sex or reward as your excuse for prowling. Just dont forget something else at time around


As for lawsuits and ****...............NOT WORTH IT! She stole your ****......deal with it. Calling the cops and going thru court is VERY time consuming and you could easly lose out dys of work for it. Court isnt just, arrive on time and get it done. You usually end up waiting for other cases to finish and come times they tell you to show up again!!!!!!
Unless it is absolutely impairitive you get it back, then do it.

She is not gonna go to court for his stuff because she knows that she will lose. As soon as he involves the cops, she will be scared sh!tless and end her little drama.

Its fair to say that statement, its your stuff, not hers. If your going to approach the situation striaght, get everything out in the clear.

Example:

"I want my laptop I left at your place last night. I was in a rush and missed taking it back to the car. I would like my laptop back in the condition I left it in. I don't want any excuses, I am aware it is here. Our relationship is over and I want to go our seperate ways."

Also, bring a recording device........if she objects and is angered, she may say something stupid which will earn u points in court (if you need to).

if you call the cops and they go to her house

she can deny the laptops are there

the cops ask to come into her house to look for laptops

she says NO

the cops need a search warrant

by the time they go and obtain a search warrant she has moved your laptops to a new location

NEVER GIVE A WOMAN A HOSTAGE !

you need to learn from this

maybe if she is weak she will hand them over

BUT most people when faced with police will deny the laptops are there because THEY ARE AFRAID OF BEING ARRESTED

admit the laptops are there

admit your murdered the butler ?

what you think i am ddddddduuurr... dumb ?


me i would obtain illegal access to her house when she is not home

BREAK AND ENTER

get my laptops back


my plan B would be to take some hostages of hers and exchange them for my laptops

her car is always a good one


WAR IS HELL

See this is why I always try to break up on good terms. No hassles, no theft, or keying your car (and trust me, proving someone keyed your car is impossible!)
