I had some issues with a polygamist woman here in Utah that really made me think. Well, my things were located inside of the house. I had been a tenant at the house for three years. Wow, come to think of it, it was exactly five years ago when I moved my stuff in there.
After living there for three years, she decided to change the locks. Why? Something in her brain broke. It is the only logical explanation. I keep thinking, "She can't do this. It is illegal what she's doing. She can't do this." I call the cops, they say it's a "civil matter." Well, she can't do this.
Not only could she do it, she did it. Without any consequence at all whatsoever. My home of three years, one day, not my home. She takes my things, puts them in the garage & then changes the code. I call the police again. I wait for the police to show up.
Three hours later the police show up. Zero help. I can't get my things. I have to file some bullshit. I kept thinking, "This is illegal what she is doing, she can't just do this without getting in trouble."
Next thing I know, her lawyer is telling me that I need to go through him to get my things out. At roughly $30 an email. He wants to know what belongings of mine are in the garage. I tell him everything. He asks what specifically. Everything. That is $120 right there. Which is wrong.
I get a lawyer. That was no help. Another $2,500 down the drain. I call the police to get my things. Wait around for three hours. They come by & tell me I need to wait for a court date a month or so down the road.
Well, during that time, waiting for the police, she takes pictures of me in my car. Her lawyer then says I am stalking her. Whatever. I tell the police. They tell me there is no way a judge would sign off on a stalking charge because I was sitting out front waiting for the police.
I get a job at a law firm (not a lawyer) for one day. ONE DAY. I GOT HIRED & THEN FIRED THE NEXT DAY. Why you ask? Cause my background check said I had a stalking injunction. I was fired for stalking. Stalking.
I sat in my car, waiting for the police, to help me get my things out of the garage. I called the police to avoid this bullshit. The police tell me, no judge will sign off on it. I get fired.
Well, that's great. Eventually, I get the pieces put back together. Get to have a bunch of LDS missionaries move like 8 truck loads of my things into a tiny ass storage unit I am renting for $75 a month. I paid for that thing for two years.
What happens next? eBay steals my last chance at any chance of having a relatively sad life. eBay steals money for two items I sold to pay rent, my car, the damn storage unit with all of my things, my phone...
Car gets repossessed. Phone gets shut off. THE STORAGE UNIT WITH MY THINGS THAT I GOT A STALKING CHARGE WAITING FOR THE POLICE TRYING TO RETRIEVE & RUINED CAREER OVER...
It gets auctioned off. Now here I am. Like an idiot trying to make a podcast. Oh nothing, I just lost everything. No big deal. Just threw a decade of my life's work down the drain. Clothes, valuables, whatever. Polygamist woman? Still living happily ever after. No consequences.
I guess, maybe one consequence. Her lawyer thought I wasn't going to follow through, but I did. I was going to get that stalking charge removed so I could be a slave for an hourly wage at a shit job paycheck to paycheck. I only lasted there two months. It was the only job that I just got up & left. Walked right out.
However, when the hearing to dismiss the stalking charge came around... the hearing her lawyer thought I would not follow through with. I lit those two up. She ends up crying, her lawyer Hanks & Peterson ends up being a bumbling idiot for an hour and a half.
Drags her into court and humiliates her & himself. Sure the stalking charge was dismissed. I show the law firm I was fired from, with no reply. Now I am about to be homeless. Probably a few weeks out from street life. But oh well. It was an okay life up until the finish like here.
Check out The Bling Viera Podcast. I talk all about it in past few episodes. Biggest crock of shit I have ever experienced. But it did feel good to bring it down for minute. Even though I lost everything. It felt get to get it dismissed & call out her & her lawyer for being evil.
TL;DR: Polygamist woman loses her mind. Lawyer takes advantage of her for billable hours. I get a stalking charge after police tell me it won't happen. Lose career & everything else.
