I have had similar situations many times. You must not trust a thief to do you a solid. Next time, call the non emergency police number immediately. When they arrive, show them the footage of his admission, (if not the theft) They will get his ID, and perhaps find some fun warrants on the knucklehead. You could agree to have him return the ladder. At the very least the fact that they have the incident on file, you can call later and file a theft report. When you confronted him he had likely already pawned it.
@KingofLaundry Yeah Danny I thought about keeping his clothes as collateral but as I walked alway from that exchange I chocked it up as a learning lesson and one less customer like him around. I don't think he will return.
I feel like you trusted him too much and go based off words a little too much. I get it you are a nice person and wanted to give the man a chance to right his wrongs but bro he literally stole from you and you been working your ass off to get the laundromat running. Man next time if some shit like this happens, just take custody of his clothes and say how about I take care of your clothes while you go run and bring me back my ladder. Obviously call the non emergence police number so they can at least be in route. My overall point is STOP BEING SO NICE, start using the law bro or take it in your own hands bruh. We are talking about money here, nothing is free in the US and quit letting people get a slap on the wrist. Life is hard in general.

Everyone thinks it’s perfectly normal to just steal and lie.
@@patrickdreis9174 He stole and kept coming back to wash clothes. 🤣
That guy is an old tweeker
@matthewmcdonald9107 Luckily he has never came back.
You handled it well good job. I hope you get it back.
@@marc-mv1kf I have a new ladder now and one less bad customer.

@pabloescoburr2704 I do agree I was a bit too nice here. Also I did think about taking his clothes. You're spot on with your post.
