A week later I'm over at another friend's house and he starts going off about how him and his brother's board's got stolen out of their garage. I ask him if one wasn't by chance a 159 burton custom. Sure as fuck it was. So I bring him over the board, eat my loss on the money, and tell him who took it. The plan was that we go kick this kid's ass and deal with the situation as is. What happens? They end up calling the police and saying I'll be a witness. Fuck me, what a god damn headache that turned into. I'm lucky I got out of it without being charged myself. The a couple months later I wind up getting SUbpeona'd as a witness, miss a week of work, which put me out about $1500 + travel costs to get to the court room. I get there and show up for court, and they don't even need me. Didn't even so much as call my name. Apparently they settled with the Crown behind closed doors.
Never again will I do the "right" thing if I find myself in this sort of situation again. Fuck the police...

heh, fuck the police indeed. i was arrested once for 'stealing a bike'. of course i never stole anything. what happened was this guy (who was known for stealing shit around town) was caught riding a stolen bike, told the cops i sold it to him. at the time i was in college in another town and they come right to my class, arrested me and put me in a holding cell. i spend a few hours there until the cops from the other town (where it happened) came and get me. after talking to the chief of police for about an hour there i was able to convince him i had nothing to do with it. why they arrested me on the word of a known criminal, i will never understand.
