possibly it couldnt be taken to court with that due to the evidence being purely circumstantial (even a shit lawyer spins a good story once in a blue moon) or, the other two charges she pled guilt to in order to avoid the animal abuse charge.
I’m from the U.K, England and our courts have started to punish cruelty to animal charges with imprisonment and owning bans, but only recently though and I think that’s down to publicity. I fully agree she should have been prosecuted fully, the animal cruelty plus stealing a patient’s medication deserve a tough punishment. How she was so easily prepared to let animals and poorly people suffer is terrible.
My sister had a cat named Lucifer and he attacked our mother when she tried to leave the house with my then infant nephew. He's 23 now and the cat lived to be 20 and never attacked anyone else again.
Reminds me of my old cat Kitty (real name Henny i was just to young to remember that name) she used to always crawl from underneath the bed to come out and scratch my legs until i started feeding and playing with her then she just layed down next to me and lick my hair and ears for no reason
There was a cat named Lucifer where I work. He was a true feral. Did not meow, would only hiss. He had two hisses, one was the “I’m going to F you up” and the other was reserved for the one lady that always fed him. You could tell by his body language which hiss was in use.
I had a huge black cat with half a tail, which, combined with his size, led me to believe that he was probably half bobcat. We had a neighbor that refused to keep his dog at home or control him. The dog was always coming to my place, chasing my kittens, trying to get to the baby goats and piglets, and our farm dog would send him packing. One day our dog was recovering from an injury to her leg, so we had to keep her inside and quiet until it healed. I suddenly heard a dog yelping and terrified. Running to see what was happening, I saw Shadow on top of the dog’s back, raking and clawing like crazy! His claws were huge too, and a blood trail started just outside our baby goats’ pen, where, apparently the dog was trying to attack the kids and was following the pair. The dog never came on the farm again. His owner was griping days later that some wild animal had attacked his dog and the vet bills were near $1,000. This was in the early 1970’s. So it was a huge vet bill.
Yes. But there's no way to actually prove it. A cop can't enter the premises without permission or a warrant, and you need a LOT more than just one dude saying something on a phone call as evidence for a judge to sign off on a warrant.
If the package was addressed to his address it isn't fraud, but OP's name was on it instead of his so that makes it less black and white. The resident did nothing except open a package addressed and delivered to his home. A-hole move but not really illegal
@@hectorsmommy1717 This might be different depending on which country we're talking about - but at least where I live that's not how this works. If a letter or package doesn't have your name on it, you're not allowed to open it. The name counts, not (just) the adress.
I babysat a Siamese cat one time called Loki. The only reason he didn't eat me, was because I fed him when the owner was out of town. She was an artist and one day she got a call from a client and she warned the client before she came over to pick up her art, don't look at the cat, don't talk to the cat, don't touch the cat. So I hear the doorbell ring as I'm working on framing art in the back room and I hear a " Oh what a pretty kitty you are"! Then a roar from the cat and a scream from the human and the door slamming shut. She was worn not to touch the cat, talk to the cat, or look at the cat. People don't listen!😂
My cousin had a Siamese, and let me tell you that little monster was named Prissy for a reason. You wanna steal a cat? Steal a Ragdoll. Siamese will make you regret it as Karen learned.
I had a miniature poodle named Prissy. Maybe its a cursed name because she was a vicious land piranha. If she bared her teeth at you, it wasn't an idle threat, it was a warning, and sometimes you wouldn't even get that if you were holding a piece of food within lunging distance and your hand happened to be in the way of her getting that tasty goodness. I can't recall how many times she drew blood from me and my brother over the years we had her. Don't recommend poodles, try a Shiatzu instead.
I had a cat whose mother was Siamese. Dad? some neighborhood Tom. But oh my that was one super smart and loyal feline. He passed the day before his 19th birthday.
@@meh2510yeahhhhh as someone with a Shih Tzu they ARE absolutely sweethearts but not when it comes to their snacks, they WILL draw blood when food is involved
Good kitty for scratching the Karen that kidnapped you 😻 Of course, Karen would want the cat to be put down afterwards because of course she would be all like “If I can’t have the cat, nobody can” 🤦🏻♂️
Only thing wrong with that, if the pet has a Microchip, then when Karen tried to have the cat put down...the Vet has to decline since it would show that it wasn't her cat to begin with...
@@JadenYukifan28 It would depend on if a court ORDERED the cat be put down. At that point OP's ownership wouldn't mean much other than she'd be paying for it, either directly or thru court fees.
@@merlinathrawes746 This wasn't taken to trial though, besides Karen's case would basically go out the window when the Judge sees what she did to OP's cat
My mother had two Siamese cats in the 1970’s. The first one was named IPO (Hawaiian for darling - my father played Hawaiian steel guitar)x She was mostly an indoor cat, later she was allowed to wander outside. A young German Shepherd entered our yard and growled at IPO. You hear stories about how quick Siamese are and this cat lived up to it. She swatted one rear flank and did a perfect vault over the dog and swatted the other side. Totally confused, the dog put its tail between its legs and ran off down the block. We never saw that dog roaming around our block again.
I think what the guy said was, I only got one package but if any more comes I'm throwing them in the trash. So OP was given the one but knows their not getting the rest. I'm not sure but that's how I took it. OP is Not the Asshole, hehehe😂
Never never never mess with a Siamese Cat unless they love you very much! They aren't usually really big. But oh boy, can they hurt you! 🥺 Mine taught me the understanding that they own you if you're fortunate. Even then, they are known for a temper.
We had one when I was a kid it was the meanest damn animal I've ever known You did not turn your back on him, he would Walk up to you and give you a look and just bite or claw you for no apparent reason Everyone except Mom
I have 11 cats, only one of them is chipped. All of the others see strangers as something to hide from.....all except Mia. Rabid dog at the door? Friend! Boa constrictor that hasn't eaten in a week? Friend!!! Psycho killer with a knife? OMG!!! BESTEST FRIEND EVER!!!! So yeah she's chipped just in case.
My late sister once had a pair of cats. Orange Tabby "Football", and Black/White Shorthair "Warrior". Warrior, all 18 lbs of him, lived up to his name, would swipe anyone trying to pet him. Football, about ten lbs., was a sweetheart. He and I got along very well. I liked catsitting for him, not so much for Warrior. I called Football "The Rubber Kitty", as I could do anything with him. I was sad when he passed.
@@lancerevell5979 I had a cat named Road Warrior, because as a tiny kitten he rode into town with his original owner hanging on under the car where he had been hiding.
@lancerevell5979 I have an orange/gold cat, named Tator and I can say oranges are real lovers! Football sounds an awful lot like mine! I live his little goofy self and wouldn't trade him for the world!
The second one, the people should have called the police if the Karen is barging into their homes that’s trespassing. And it goes without saying PRESS CHARGES
Story 2... my Siemese Seal-point takes offense to being branded as violent in nature😂😂... she is the most sweetest angel with her white body and brown face, brown paws, and brown tail and blue eyes😻😻
I have a Seal Point. She's protective, loyal and her name is Donatella after Donatella Versace, because she has an attitude and personality to match. She's sweet, but despises other cats and hates anyone that crosses her the wrong way. Hahah
Story 2: This is a very old story, but yeah Karen is really mental with the sheer kleptomania she committed. Not to mention that she really tried to steal a cat by bleaching it, dunno how she expected that to work, pretty sure the color would eventually come back
Yeah... I always have an issue with calling them "Karen" when it's clearly a mental issue. A "true" Karen would have plainly steal the cat while saying she need it more or that the cat will be better with her. They find reasons ; they don't try to mask stuff!
Yes--color point cats (Siamese are the classic, but there are other color point cats that are not Siamese, including random-bred DSH and DLH [domestic short/long hair]) basically have a version of albinism which is temperature-activated. When first born, the color point is all white because it had been warm in utero. The points develop on the cooler parts of the body (tail, legs, ears, face), and as they age, their bodies generally drop mildly in temperature, resulting in gradual darkening over the years on the rest of the body, too. So, the bleach would only be temporary (until the bleached fur was replaced by new fur which would once again be dark because that is how the color point gene works). This is also the reason why color point cats have blue eyes into adulthood. Cat skin is pretty sensitive, so that bleach could really have done harm.
Anyone who thinks they can just bleach a cat has never gotten bleach on their own scalp. That stuff hurts after two minutes. So even a well tempered cat would start fighting after a minute because it hurts! That's horrible and disgusting to do and I'd never forgive anyone for doing that.
2nd story I worked with a farmer that had a bull named Lucifer. The 2 things you never ever did to him were 1 enter his corral without a second set of eyes and 2 never EVER take away his main squeeze a sterile cow named Daisy. She couldn't carry a calf due to a deformity of her uterus it never formed properly when she was a heifer in her mothers womb. But she was the only cow that could keep him calm. If she was not in the pen with him even the fence at full voltage shocks wasn't enough to slow him down from coming after you. Problem was Lucifer produced freaking great calves out of the rest of the herd so he was kept around
Don't know why but I just LOVE this story. Intact bulls are one type of animal you put up with any personality as long as they do their job. Funny that he had a BFF, they are usually loners unless a cow is in estrus.
@hectorsmommy1717 that cow had estrus cycles but never got pregnant with a calf and we tried keeping him alone in a 20 acre pen but if he smelled a cow in heat he literally would destroy any fences in his way or other bulls in his way. Why he was so aggressive goes back to when the boss got him. I was the guy sent to pick him up and bring him home. Problem was that he was on the way down the market for his unbred heifers. On the day I was picking him up from his first owner I had 50 heifers in my trailer heading for the market. Well I get him loaded and separated from the heifers and sure enough a few were in heat. He smelled fresh girls and wanted to breed them and tried to get to them. Here's were it gets interesting I was pulled into a scale house with him rampaging in the trailer trying to get the heifers. He wasn't giving up easy. I get the heifers unloaded and he is severely disappointed by the fact he didn't get laid. Well I get back to the yard and get him into the bulls pasture. He sees the other bulls. Now the boss had a Hertford bull of about 2500 pounds in size and Lucifer literally walked up to this bull and he mauled the crap out of him. So the boss was getting desperate and separated him from the herd and kept him happy with a nonstop line of heifers and older cows. Then he remembered the we had Daisy we were getting ready to send her to the slaughterhouse but he goes let's see what happens with her with him. Lucifer literally becomes somewhat easier to handle. Yes we still didn't get in his pen alone but we were able to know he wouldn't destroy everything he would to get to a girl.
The second story is a old story but one of my favorites. I am a very proud kitty mama to two beautiful cats Gretal and Tucker and nobody dears messes with my fur babies.
I had a boyfriend years ago who had a half husky half wolf that was standing in the front yard when some neighbors drove up and assumed he was lost and coaxed him into their car. They took him home and closed him into their garage and he chewed his way out of the screen door and found his way home. The dog nappers tried to make my boyfriend pay for their screen
Some guy tried to steal my co-worker's cat when she was on the train. Grabbed her carrier and tried to run, but she yanked him back and kicked him hard enough to cause testicular torsion. He probably ended up losing that one
Backyard story: if I was your mom op I would've said, "how do you know it was us who destroyed your backyard?" It could be anybody who did it since you keep on going into your neighbors front yard and steal their property as your own.
Story 4: You hire people, even if it's a one time thing, you pay them. If you don't want to pay, then do it yourself, and if it ends up going badly, well tough beans. I bet Karen would cause a fuss if she was scammed like that, so she shouldn't be too surprised that this happened
AND make sure you update your information if you move. If your pet gets lost and is scanned for a chip, the chip company can't locate you if they don't have current info.
The one with the cat reminds me of something in my neighborhood back in the early 2000s. A guy sued his neighbor because his neighbor's dog had bit him. He was suing for thousands of dollars and to have the dog put down. As it turned out, the dog have bit the guy because he had been beating it with a shovel. Not only did he not get any cash, but he spent six months in jail for animal abuse.
Story 1: I'd be careful going back to the apartment complex. They might have filled in the "holes" in their camera security net. Cat story: Any cat will strike out when mistreated, but Siamese cats are INFAMOUS for it. They're also known for being very temperamental in who they allow to handle them. One of the reasons I've never tried to own one, despite having many cats over the years since I was a kid (68 now). Karen was lucky she didn't lose an eye or even two Last story: Don't stiff people on what you owe them, they can and will get creative in how they get even and it will generally cost you more than what you owed.
In my former apartment complex, a group of us would congregate outside on the patio and visit. A neighbor would ask if she could go inside whatever apartment and fill her glass with ice. No one thought anything of it until items started going missing, namely prescription pills. She ended up getting caught with a full bottle and moved immediately.
Final Story - What OP did may’ve been extreme but… he gets points for driving his point across and costing that Karen More money than what she should’ve paid him.
Story 1 - I agree that the cops should’ve done something about the guy that was clearly stealing packages that are not his. Especially since the guy knew the packages were Christmas gifts for kids. He’s committing a federal crime!
@@hectorsmommy1717 Not if they had someone else's name on them. It's illegal to open someone else's mail, even if they live in the same house as you (same address). However, the reason the cops couldn't do much is likely because the packages were *not* 'federal mail.' That's only packages sent USPS. Packages sent with other shippers (FedEx/UPS) aren't technically federal mail, so they don't have the same protections.
Story 1. A wise Volcan once said "Stonn, she is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true". Especially when you want a cat named Lucifer. Story Last. Always pay for yard and garden work because SALT IS SUPER CHEAP.
Consider yourself lucky we live at a time when salt is super cheap. In ancient history, salt was worth a lot more than gold and that is where the phrase "worth your salt" comes from.
12:28 “… when the cat attacked her.” *Objection!* Your honour, that was self-defense. I fail to even imagine any circumstances where fighting back against an unlawful, unprovoked assault and bodily harm with a caustic chemical could not be self defence. It was not even excessive force, the cat applied just enough force to escape the violent assault and immediately ran to safety - the cat would have been fully in the right to make the assailant combat ineffective, but was not remotely interested in that.
Story 2: She'd be hospitalized quick. You come in my home without permission that's home invasion, a home invasion implies ill intent and will be answered in kind.
I had a Siamese cat, named Tuk Tuk, that I raised from a baby, who had also been rejected by his mother. And I can confirm, Don't mess with a Siamese! He was a sweetheart, but strangers were warned not to cross him! And they do like to howl! I can just imagine the chaos Lucifer left in his wake! Good kitty!!!!😅😂❤
Last Story: Similar thing happened with my stepdad. My stepdad is a tiler, he works by fitting tiles in kitchens and bathrooms and one day, I decided to help him with his job due to him pushing 62 so he needed an extra pair of hands. As we were working on this guy’s kitchen, we finished the job but the guy rung up by his cell phone and refused to pay and made up some bs story that he will pay later, which was a blatant lie, so my stepdad ripped up all the tiles before the cement coding could set and put them all back in his truck, which led the guy’s kitchen in an unfinished mess. The guy tried to call the cops on my stepdad but the cops ruled in my stepdad’s favour because the guy signed a weaver and refusing to pay counts for repossessing. In short pay your tradesmen.
Funny, didn’t realize how many people named their cats Lucifer until today 😂 I thought it fitting for my boy, being bright white (as a kitten) & the first born, but changed his name to Lucifur after a bit
I was playing this video and my s/o laughed hearing the cat's name. Our piebald cat is named Lucifer (Luci for short) and our tabby is a female named Loke.
Poison Oak and Poison Ivy? Normally I’d say that’s overkill, but in this case, I think it’s justified. Side note, that poor gardener probably didn’t fully trust anyone ever again.
My mom had a Siamese cat named Bonkers growing up. And that kitty didn’t like strangers even being on his turf. Unless you were brought in by mom or another of her family members, Bonkers would be tearing your skin off. Just like the drunk college guy who tried to break into their house one night. Let’s just say that he was never able to play football again (which is how he got in on scholarship 😅)
Story 2 - As a person who’s had a lot of cats since I was 8 this hits home with me. If someone like that Karen had done that to my beloved Snowshoe cat (closely related Siamese cats) that I’ve raised since he was a baby… let’s just say they’d have more than a few scratches, a deep bite wound, and a black eye. They’d be on the ground spitting out teeth and blood. And I‘m not surprised that Karen’s hand got infected from the cat’s bite. When I was 12 I did cats in 4-H and learned that cats, like a lot of animals, carry a lot of bacteria in their mouths. Karen mostly likely didn’t clean the wound properly and waited too long before seeing a doctor.
Yeah cats' mouth are filthy. They are exclusive carnivorous (unlike dogs that are opportunists, mainly carnivorous but they can eat some greens once in a while) that mean that the bacteria in their mouths are the truly putrid kind. When you're bitten by a cat, disinfect immediatly and closely monitor the wound.... At the SLIGHTEST sign of infection, rush to the ER. Isobethadine can't do anything for you at this stade, you need antibiotics.
Last story: Nothing would piss me off more than me doing alot of work for a relative who promised to pay me only to wait until the job is done and then claim they are using the family discount and refuse to pay me. I don't think I'd ever do what Op did I would probably tell the rest of the family and see if they can make them cough up the money promised if not I would be satisfied knowing that their reputation in the family is ruined or at least tarnished.
Story 2, naw call the cops at least two or three times with it from your house (to establish a documented legal paper trail), the next time, hold her at pewpew point (this will traumatize her, making it even less likely she'll be back), and up the charge to home invasion. And aren't Siamese cats _very_ expensive? Oh, and when someone says they will get lawyers involved, it translates to 'I can't afford a lawyer's friend, let alone a lawyer'.
I’d pissed off one of my friends a few years back and to get back at me, he put laxative in a meal he’d made for me when he lodged with me before getting his own place. He did this trick on me a few times but I never noticed because being on the meds I’m on, and having IBS, sometimes I go from one extreme to the other regarding No. 2’s. My friend owned up to this about a year ago and I thought it was hilarious ! We’ve been friends for 25 years this year and I love him to bits ! We’re always saying witty remarks to one another - he’s quicker off the cuff than me though and other people think he’s being mean to me but they don’t know him like I do (and I have a thick skin !)
First story the guy openly admitted to mail theft. Which is both a federal and state crime. So that is b.s that the cops couldn’t do anything about it.
@@hectorsmommy1717 if it is not addressed to you meaning if it is not in your name and you open, hide, keep, or destroy the mail it is a crime. It doesn’t matter if it has your physical address on it .
Story #2 reminds me of our very sweet, docile Siamese, Queenie. When I was a baby and my older brother was almost 2 yrs old, my parents got her as a kitten from a dear family friend, and everyone told my parents, "Don't get a Siamese!! She'll scratch the kids, she'll tear up your furniture and your curtains!! Siamese are nasty and destructive!!". She was a sweetheart and she LOVED being roughed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣 whoever was the roughest is who she slept with that night. My mom told me this from when I was a toddler: I had picked up Queenie by her ears when my mom wasn't looking and shook her as hard as a toddler can shake a 10lb Siamese cat. The second my mom saw me, she yelled "drop her!!", and I dropped her, which was not far being I wasn't that tall. Queenie just kinda shook it off, licked herself and walked away. Any cat would've torn me up for that, let alone a Siamese 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Queenie went over the Rainbow Bridge when I was 16, waiting until my mom got home from church, sat on her lap and passed away, and I still miss her to this day. Until we meet again Queenie, fly high over that Rainbow Bridge 😢😢
Story 1 - think i would have gathered photos of the items he didn't return, and a note of "he stole these from foster kids", put a copy on the door, on the car, at the mailbox (with the unit number to name and shame).
My cat was a stray but she's very beautiful and cute. She looks like a Norwegian Forest cat or Main Coon and still looks like a kitten even though she's already 2 years old. She is also leash trained and when I lived in Berlin we went on walks through the city or took the subway together. One day an idiot teenage girl thought she could steal her in the subway... My cat loves walks but hates people (just like me). So when that stranger picked her up and tried to run for it at a stop of the subway she just bit and scratched that girl. My cat managed to get out of her grasp and ran straight back to me. The girl escaped but I think she was bleeding pretty badly in the face and my cat was fine so I didn't get the police involved or anything. It was just like a minute or two long but definitely the most "What the hell?"-moment of my life. That was like maybe six months ago. Cat is still a little monster.
A very good friend of mine had a Siamese, who apparently decided to claim me as a zone. He would literally climb up my leg climb up my arm and wrap himself around my neck and you know I never felt a single claw ever. And if anybody got too close, he would give them that raspy meow that told you not to get too close to his propertyJunior, I still miss you. you were one in 1 million.
I wonder if Lucifer (love that name!) actually got out of the house on his own, or if that crazy witch walked in unnoticed and STOLE HIM FROM THE HOUSE.
The parcels. We don't have individual mailboxes, we have a community mailbox where are individual boxes are. And there are a couple of large parcel slots. Before Amazon started delivering to houses, parcels would be mailed out. No biggie. Once the postmistress put a parcel for me into the parcel slot, but the key for the slot she put into my neighbor's box by accident. Well neighbor took the parcel, they too were expecting amazon, got it home and opened it. Only when they saw stuff for a dog, did they look at the name and see that it was our stuff. So they brought it over, and apologized for opening the parcel. Hey, I don't know how many times I've just opened parcels WITHOUT checking that they were actually ours. After saying all that, I think that guy was a real 'richard' for KEEPING stuff that wasn't his.
Last story: I've got no problem with what OP did to their cousin. Shouldve added a "well like you said cousin, be careful who you trust, and be careful who you screw over because they might lose your house key, then anyone could be able to trash a house"
Story 1: Stealing post is a federal crime, so there is very much OP could do, and that the cop could do! The cop can't enter the apartment, but since the dirtbag have said what he said, there is proof that he has it and the cop could warn the idiot that if he doesn't return the packages, he will be arrested for postal theft... What OP should have done first of all is to contact the postal service and make sure they send the packages to the new adress since the old one isn't working (They shouldn't give out packages when the name is wrong, and they can be sued for postal fraud themselves)
Trying to steal a Siamese cat, NOT A GOOD IDEA KAREN!! Siamese are very vocal and love to have conversations, even more so, they are really, really temperamental animals. Meaning to mess around with a Siamese, and your certainty do not get a Siamese pissed off for any reason. My Siamese cat Mittens, loved to have a full conversation with me. I could talk to him, and he would answer me back in that horse-meow of his. But man, if he was done with that conversation or wanting nothing more to do with an activity than that was it and God help you if you engaged him more than he wanted, getting very annoyed, and being very vocal, and if you didn't get the message than a few hisses and growls usually worked. As for Karen, she got what she deserved messing with a pissed off Siamese. She's lucky that the cat didn't do more damage to her considering what she was trying to do to him! But he was a very loving lap cat. R.I.P MITTENS!!
Depends on the level of Karen. You've got the oblivious Karen that says or does something annoying without realizing they're in the wrong and then quickly slinks back in shame or embarrassment when they finally get a clue. You've got the entitled Karen who doesn't care how much they're inconveniencing anybody as long as they get their way, they'll double down in an argument and won't apologize at all when they lose and flip you off when they leave. Then there is the Malicious Karen, who is purposefully looking for trouble or trying to get other people into trouble just for the fun of it. Finally, the Psycho Karen whose shenanigans often ends up in violence, police involvement, and jail time.
I want to know if the cats OK after having bleach poured on him? Like did he need to go to the vet, did just washing it off work? Poor cat was innocent in all this and she literally could have killed him if he tried to lick the bleach off.
Story 1:yeah admitting he had the gifts and not going to return them is admitting to a federal offence... it may have been to his address but not his name and mail fraud is a federal felony.
On the third story they should have added some stinging nettles and some really thorny bushes. Where I lived once there are rose bushes in the woods and when those thorns get your clothes they don't let go easily!! They are fairly big thorns and hurt enough if you unwittingly grab them not realizing it!!
Last: Another OP is a master carpenter in UK, and travels from site to site earning big bucks. He rents a house for the duration and leaves it spotless and often better than it was when he moved in because he likes to repair wooden fittings. On his last day, this time, however, the LL shows the middle finger and asks him "what can you do?". OP takes a room at a hotel and comes back after 9 PM. The neighbors knew he had stayed there so he wasn't worried. He used the house key he forgot to return and undid every fitting made of wood, plastic that used screws. Like cupboards, wooden floors, wall fittings. He randomly placed strips/ pieces in different rooms so the owner (and any carpenter he hired) would face a hell of a time. Then quietly left, threw the key in the trash and went back to his hotel. The LL easily lost 10 times what he "saved" by cheating on the deposit
Story 1: When the law won't help, you've just gotta do it yourself. Within reason of course. Story 2: She got what she deserved. No matter how pathetic she looked the others who called the cops should've sent her to jail. Story 3: You can't go on vacation if you're an asshole. How she expected no one would ever get her back is beyond me. Story 4: Yeah, just as OP said, pay people who do work for you. When it comes to contractors they usually can't destroy what they installed if it's been make part of the property (ex. windows, cabinets, tile flooring) that won't stop them, or people you've made deals with, from getting some get back when the opportunity arises. Also, once again, don't leave town if you've made enemies.
The Christmass gifts story. Isn't keeping mail/post that is not addressed to you, considered mail theft ?? I think that filing a complaint to USPS or Fed-Ex or whichever service, that should deliver the packages, CAN help. Theft of mail/post is a federal crime, and one that is very costly to the thief. At least that is what I have heard over the last couple of years.
Story 1: The address on the packages is irrelevant...the NAME on the packages was not the name of the person who had unlawful possession of them...report them as stolen. Story 2: I guarantee Karen would come into my home uninvited only one time...because she would hear the unmistakable sound of a pump-action shotgun being racked.
2nd story: If she had watched more Disney, she could have avoided the whole mess. Lucifer is the name of the cat that harassed Cinderella. Also, Lady from Lady and the Tramp was harassed by a pair of siamese cats.
She tried to BLEACH the cat?! Normally, I’d put a comment about not stealing someone’s cat and adopting from a shelter… but this woman has no business having a cat in her care.
Story 2: OP's sister is a damn hero. Let's be real, we hear stories all the time like this, but OP's sister actually squared up and punched Karen straight in the face, AND pressed charges enough to get Karen arrested, but we never see anyone actually do anything about these kinds of Karens. Breath of fresh air.
I had a cat that I discovered was borderline allergic to topical flea medication. The very smell set him off.Unfortunately,it was me trying to give him the medication and he bit me in the wrist. I didn't bleed much but he got a tendon and the wrist was sore for weeks. He was instantly sorry that he bit me and did all he could to show he was sorry. I knew I'd screwed up and cuddled him until he calmed down. No I did not blame the cat, but I could see how bleech could totally set a cat off and especially if it was used by someone who it didn't like.
He's holding mail hostage, That might actually be a legal issue. Cat's hate overbearing people. Once I went to dinner with my aunt and a friend who brought along a kleptomaniac friend. The woman was constantly grabbing stuff and saying oh I'm just going to grab one of these and stuff it in her purse. It was so embarrassing to be in public with her.
i'd tell cousin's parents what they did and demand payment for my services. and warn all the relatives that she doesn't pay people for doing work for her.
Not the cops job actually. That's for the postal police. They have their own form of police and agents to enforce these laws. Locals aren't in jurisdiction on federal law
Let's not forget she put effing bleach on a cat! Jfc, where was the animal abuse charge?!
possibly it couldnt be taken to court with that due to the evidence being purely circumstantial (even a shit lawyer spins a good story once in a blue moon) or, the other two charges she pled guilt to in order to avoid the animal abuse charge.
Karen ended up in jail, my guess it was added to her sentencing by the police.
I’m from the U.K, England and our courts have started to punish cruelty to animal charges with imprisonment and owning bans, but only recently though and I think that’s down to publicity. I fully agree she should have been prosecuted fully, the animal cruelty plus stealing a patient’s medication deserve a tough punishment. How she was so easily prepared to let animals and poorly people suffer is terrible.
Well even if she get charge for animal abuse. The cat did punished in a form of infection from those scratches. So yeah justice well deserved.
My sister had a cat named Lucifer and he attacked our mother when she tried to leave the house with my then infant nephew. He's 23 now and the cat lived to be 20 and never attacked anyone else again.
Reminds me of my old cat Kitty (real name Henny i was just to young to remember that name) she used to always crawl from underneath the bed to come out and scratch my legs until i started feeding and playing with her then she just layed down next to me and lick my hair and ears for no reason
You mean like, kidnap??!! 😱
. .. Good kitty.
Cats always know when something is up. Smart critters
There was a cat named Lucifer where I work. He was a true feral. Did not meow, would only hiss. He had two hisses, one was the “I’m going to F you up” and the other was reserved for the one lady that always fed him. You could tell by his body language which hiss was in use.
Lucifer: where are you going with my kitten
I had a huge black cat with half a tail, which, combined with his size, led me to believe that he was probably half bobcat. We had a neighbor that refused to keep his dog at home or control him. The dog was always coming to my place, chasing my kittens, trying to get to the baby goats and piglets, and our farm dog would send him packing. One day our dog was recovering from an injury to her leg, so we had to keep her inside and quiet until it healed. I suddenly heard a dog yelping and terrified. Running to see what was happening, I saw Shadow on top of the dog’s back, raking and clawing like crazy! His claws were huge too, and a blood trail started just outside our baby goats’ pen, where, apparently the dog was trying to attack the kids and was following the pair. The dog never came on the farm again. His owner was griping days later that some wild animal had attacked his dog and the vet bills were near $1,000. This was in the early 1970’s. So it was a huge vet bill.
Good meow meow!!! You protect those kids!!!
Karma!!
Story 1: isn’t that mail fraud? That’s a crime. It’s so weird that he got away with it.
Yes. But there's no way to actually prove it. A cop can't enter the premises without permission or a warrant, and you need a LOT more than just one dude saying something on a phone call as evidence for a judge to sign off on a warrant.
If the package was addressed to his address it isn't fraud, but OP's name was on it instead of his so that makes it less black and white. The resident did nothing except open a package addressed and delivered to his home. A-hole move but not really illegal
@@hectorsmommy1717 thanks for the reply! That makes sense because it was the “correct” address , wrong name.
@@hectorsmommy1717 This might be different depending on which country we're talking about - but at least where I live that's not how this works. If a letter or package doesn't have your name on it, you're not allowed to open it. The name counts, not (just) the adress.
The Post Office is the place to file the complaint. It is illegal to open someone else's mail.
I babysat a Siamese cat one time called Loki. The only reason he didn't eat me, was because I fed him when the owner was out of town. She was an artist and one day she got a call from a client and she warned the client before she came over to pick up her art, don't look at the cat, don't talk to the cat, don't touch the cat.
So I hear the doorbell ring as I'm working on framing art in the back room and I hear a " Oh what a pretty kitty you are"! Then a roar from the cat and a scream from the human and the door slamming shut.
She was worn not to touch the cat, talk to the cat, or look at the cat.
People don't listen!😂
"Please do not the cat"
My cousin had a Siamese, and let me tell you that little monster was named Prissy for a reason. You wanna steal a cat? Steal a Ragdoll. Siamese will make you regret it as Karen learned.
I had a miniature poodle named Prissy. Maybe its a cursed name because she was a vicious land piranha. If she bared her teeth at you, it wasn't an idle threat, it was a warning, and sometimes you wouldn't even get that if you were holding a piece of food within lunging distance and your hand happened to be in the way of her getting that tasty goodness. I can't recall how many times she drew blood from me and my brother over the years we had her. Don't recommend poodles, try a Shiatzu instead.
My tabby is half-Siamese and you can tell he's got Siamese in him. He'll make you regret messing with him.
I had a cat whose mother was Siamese. Dad? some neighborhood Tom. But oh my that was one super smart and loyal feline. He passed the day before his 19th birthday.
@@meh2510yeahhhhh as someone with a Shih Tzu they ARE absolutely sweethearts but not when it comes to their snacks, they WILL draw blood when food is involved
😭 my ragdoll got out once and that's what I was worried about
Good kitty for scratching the Karen that kidnapped you 😻
Of course, Karen would want the cat to be put down afterwards because of course she would be all like “If I can’t have the cat, nobody can” 🤦🏻♂️
Only thing wrong with that, if the pet has a Microchip, then when Karen tried to have the cat put down...the Vet has to decline since it would show that it wasn't her cat to begin with...
@@JadenYukifan28 It would depend on if a court ORDERED the cat be put down. At that point OP's ownership wouldn't mean much other than she'd be paying for it, either directly or thru court fees.
@@merlinathrawes746 This wasn't taken to trial though, besides Karen's case would basically go out the window when the Judge sees what she did to OP's cat
If I'd been an American citizen in OP's sister's shoes, the 911 call would be dealing with a report of a tresspass defense darwin award winner...
The first story: i wouldve called the Post Office General on him after doing what OP did. Im sure there is something they couldve done.
Yeah, those guys don't mess around.
@kristinpraus1600 Yeah........ PMG Probably would've given him a free colonocopy.
I'd also make sure to drag them on every possible social media platform. Make sure everyone knows what POS's they are.
The delivery may not have been by the post office. Maybe Fed-ex. So not mail fraud.
Mail fraud IS a federal crime after all
Final story -- Cousin said "Don't trust anyone"; should have taken her own advice!!😂😂😂
My mother had two Siamese cats in the 1970’s. The first one was named IPO (Hawaiian for darling - my father played Hawaiian steel guitar)x She was mostly an indoor cat, later she was allowed to wander outside. A young German Shepherd entered our yard and growled at IPO. You hear stories about how quick Siamese are and this cat lived up to it. She swatted one rear flank and did a perfect vault over the dog and swatted the other side. Totally confused, the dog put its tail between its legs and ran off down the block. We never saw that dog roaming around our block again.
Story 1: I’m with Fluff and thought the cops should have done something when he knowingly kept those gifts. What a POS.
I think what the guy said was, I only got one package but if any more comes I'm throwing them in the trash. So OP was given the one but knows their not getting the rest. I'm not sure but that's how I took it. OP is Not the Asshole, hehehe😂
Plus mail theft is a federal crime, those cops aren’t doing their job.
Should have contacted the Postal Inspectors, those folks don't mess around.
Yeah, just take that to the post office and report mail fraud.
The store is.more at fault than the post office. Wtf couldn't they just change the address or cancel the order? Totally unnecessary behaviour.
Story 2: the best part is at the end where OP reveals that the cat’s name is Lucifer
Hey, wasn't that the namesake of the cat that Cinderella's sisters had? 😼😈
Still, that cat put that Karen into Hell itself!
Never never never mess with a Siamese Cat unless they love you very much! They aren't usually really big. But oh boy, can they hurt you! 🥺 Mine taught me the understanding that they own you if you're fortunate. Even then, they are known for a temper.
We had one when I was a kid it was the meanest damn animal I've ever known
You did not turn your back on him, he would Walk up to you and give you a look and just bite or claw you for no apparent reason
Everyone except Mom
"Dogs have owners, cats have staff. Siamese cats have slaves." 😅
@@lancerevell5979 na cats had human pets
Story 1: Refusing to turn over packages delivered to you by mistake is theft. Get the police involved.
And here I am cheering for Lucifer the cat!
What the devil got into that Karen ? Oh it was the cat, Lucifer ! 😂
Lucifer - " Bringer of Light". Hopefully, after getting her just karma, Karen "saw the light"! 😅
*_(Cue comedic rim shot!) *BUD-TUM... TSSSH!!!*_*
👏😂 👏😸 👏😹
@lancerevell5979 hes also the god of music.... 😂 he made some music that day Allright!!!
I have 11 cats, only one of them is chipped. All of the others see strangers as something to hide from.....all except Mia. Rabid dog at the door? Friend! Boa constrictor that hasn't eaten in a week? Friend!!! Psycho killer with a knife? OMG!!! BESTEST FRIEND EVER!!!! So yeah she's chipped just in case.
My late sister once had a pair of cats. Orange Tabby "Football", and Black/White Shorthair "Warrior". Warrior, all 18 lbs of him, lived up to his name, would swipe anyone trying to pet him. Football, about ten lbs., was a sweetheart. He and I got along very well. I liked catsitting for him, not so much for Warrior. I called Football "The Rubber Kitty", as I could do anything with him. I was sad when he passed.
@@lancerevell5979 I had a cat named Road Warrior, because as a tiny kitten he rode into town with his original owner hanging on under the car where he had been hiding.
@lancerevell5979 I have an orange/gold cat, named Tator and I can say oranges are real lovers!
Football sounds an awful lot like mine!
I live his little goofy self and wouldn't trade him for the world!
The second one, the people should have called the police if the Karen is barging into their homes that’s trespassing. And it goes without saying PRESS CHARGES
Story 2... my Siemese Seal-point takes offense to being branded as violent in nature😂😂... she is the most sweetest angel with her white body and brown face, brown paws, and brown tail and blue eyes😻😻
IIRC, Siamese cats were temple protectors, right? Sounds like any invader would be a scratching post for them! 😼😼😼
I have a Seal Point. She's protective, loyal and her name is Donatella after Donatella Versace, because she has an attitude and personality to match. She's sweet, but despises other cats and hates anyone that crosses her the wrong way. Hahah
Story 2: This is a very old story, but yeah Karen is really mental with the sheer kleptomania she committed. Not to mention that she really tried to steal a cat by bleaching it, dunno how she expected that to work, pretty sure the color would eventually come back
Yeah... I always have an issue with calling them "Karen" when it's clearly a mental issue. A "true" Karen would have plainly steal the cat while saying she need it more or that the cat will be better with her. They find reasons ; they don't try to mask stuff!
Yes--color point cats (Siamese are the classic, but there are other color point cats that are not Siamese, including random-bred DSH and DLH [domestic short/long hair]) basically have a version of albinism which is temperature-activated. When first born, the color point is all white because it had been warm in utero. The points develop on the cooler parts of the body (tail, legs, ears, face), and as they age, their bodies generally drop mildly in temperature, resulting in gradual darkening over the years on the rest of the body, too. So, the bleach would only be temporary (until the bleached fur was replaced by new fur which would once again be dark because that is how the color point gene works). This is also the reason why color point cats have blue eyes into adulthood.
Cat skin is pretty sensitive, so that bleach could really have done harm.
The cat would more likely got balding at paws and tail.
Anyone who thinks they can just bleach a cat has never gotten bleach on their own scalp. That stuff hurts after two minutes. So even a well tempered cat would start fighting after a minute because it hurts! That's horrible and disgusting to do and I'd never forgive anyone for doing that.
2nd story I worked with a farmer that had a bull named Lucifer. The 2 things you never ever did to him were 1 enter his corral without a second set of eyes and 2 never EVER take away his main squeeze a sterile cow named Daisy. She couldn't carry a calf due to a deformity of her uterus it never formed properly when she was a heifer in her mothers womb. But she was the only cow that could keep him calm. If she was not in the pen with him even the fence at full voltage shocks wasn't enough to slow him down from coming after you. Problem was Lucifer produced freaking great calves out of the rest of the herd so he was kept around
Don't know why but I just LOVE this story. Intact bulls are one type of animal you put up with any personality as long as they do their job. Funny that he had a BFF, they are usually loners unless a cow is in estrus.
@hectorsmommy1717 that cow had estrus cycles but never got pregnant with a calf and we tried keeping him alone in a 20 acre pen but if he smelled a cow in heat he literally would destroy any fences in his way or other bulls in his way. Why he was so aggressive goes back to when the boss got him. I was the guy sent to pick him up and bring him home. Problem was that he was on the way down the market for his unbred heifers. On the day I was picking him up from his first owner I had 50 heifers in my trailer heading for the market. Well I get him loaded and separated from the heifers and sure enough a few were in heat. He smelled fresh girls and wanted to breed them and tried to get to them. Here's were it gets interesting I was pulled into a scale house with him rampaging in the trailer trying to get the heifers. He wasn't giving up easy. I get the heifers unloaded and he is severely disappointed by the fact he didn't get laid. Well I get back to the yard and get him into the bulls pasture. He sees the other bulls. Now the boss had a Hertford bull of about 2500 pounds in size and Lucifer literally walked up to this bull and he mauled the crap out of him.
So the boss was getting desperate and separated him from the herd and kept him happy with a nonstop line of heifers and older cows. Then he remembered the we had Daisy we were getting ready to send her to the slaughterhouse but he goes let's see what happens with her with him. Lucifer literally becomes somewhat easier to handle. Yes we still didn't get in his pen alone but we were able to know he wouldn't destroy everything he would to get to a girl.
A heifer is a cattle that's at least a year old and the term bull implies he is intact otherwise he'd be an ox.
The second story is a old story but one of my favorites. I am a very proud kitty mama to two beautiful cats Gretal and Tucker and nobody dears messes with my fur babies.
Thunberg : "What?"
Carlson : "What?"
I had a boyfriend years ago who had a half husky half wolf that was standing in the front yard when some neighbors drove up and assumed he was lost and coaxed him into their car. They took him home and closed him into their garage and he chewed his way out of the screen door and found his way home. The dog nappers tried to make my boyfriend pay for their screen
Some guy tried to steal my co-worker's cat when she was on the train. Grabbed her carrier and tried to run, but she yanked him back and kicked him hard enough to cause testicular torsion. He probably ended up losing that one
Backyard story: if I was your mom op I would've said, "how do you know it was us who destroyed your backyard?" It could be anybody who did it since you keep on going into your neighbors front yard and steal their property as your own.
Story 4: You hire people, even if it's a one time thing, you pay them. If you don't want to pay, then do it yourself, and if it ends up going badly, well tough beans.
I bet Karen would cause a fuss if she was scammed like that, so she shouldn't be too surprised that this happened
Story 2 lesson: ALWAYS. MICROCHIP. YOUR. PETS.
AND make sure you update your information if you move. If your pet gets lost and is scanned for a chip, the chip company can't locate you if they don't have current info.
The one with the cat reminds me of something in my neighborhood back in the early 2000s. A guy sued his neighbor because his neighbor's dog had bit him. He was suing for thousands of dollars and to have the dog put down. As it turned out, the dog have bit the guy because he had been beating it with a shovel. Not only did he not get any cash, but he spent six months in jail for animal abuse.
Story 1: I'd be careful going back to the apartment complex. They might have filled in the "holes" in their camera security net.
Cat story: Any cat will strike out when mistreated, but Siamese cats are INFAMOUS for it. They're also known for being very temperamental in who they allow to handle them. One of the reasons I've never tried to own one, despite having many cats over the years since I was a kid (68 now). Karen was lucky she didn't lose an eye or even two
Last story: Don't stiff people on what you owe them, they can and will get creative in how they get even and it will generally cost you more than what you owed.
In my former apartment complex, a group of us would congregate outside on the patio and visit. A neighbor would ask if she could go inside whatever apartment and fill her glass with ice. No one thought anything of it until items started going missing, namely prescription pills. She ended up getting caught with a full bottle and moved immediately.
Story 2: I love that you saved the cat's name to the end of the story.
Final Story - What OP did may’ve been extreme but… he gets points for driving his point across and costing that Karen More money than what she should’ve paid him.
3rd story: wow, OP has a great and highly detailed memory from when he was 4 years old.
Story 1 - I agree that the cops should’ve done something about the guy that was clearly stealing packages that are not his. Especially since the guy knew the packages were Christmas gifts for kids. He’s committing a federal crime!
Technically no. The packages were addressed to his home address so legally they were his. Total a-hole move but not a crime.
@@hectorsmommy1717 Not when he's told they're mis-delivered and who the true owner is. It's theft - knowingly keeping what isn't yours.
@@hectorsmommy1717 Not if they had someone else's name on them. It's illegal to open someone else's mail, even if they live in the same house as you (same address). However, the reason the cops couldn't do much is likely because the packages were *not* 'federal mail.' That's only packages sent USPS. Packages sent with other shippers (FedEx/UPS) aren't technically federal mail, so they don't have the same protections.
@@hectorsmommy1717 y’all really out here telling on yourself with your perceived loophole
@@wjm1319 But, didn't OP say the packages were being delivered viz USPS.
Story 1 - Oh, my sweet sweet summer child. It’s so adorable that you think people aren’t horrible.
Story 1. A wise Volcan once said "Stonn, she is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true". Especially when you want a cat named Lucifer.
Story Last. Always pay for yard and garden work because SALT IS SUPER CHEAP.
Consider yourself lucky we live at a time when salt is super cheap. In ancient history, salt was worth a lot more than gold and that is where the phrase "worth your salt" comes from.
12:28 “… when the cat attacked her.”
*Objection!*
Your honour, that was self-defense.
I fail to even imagine any circumstances where fighting back against an unlawful, unprovoked assault and bodily harm with a caustic chemical could not be self defence.
It was not even excessive force, the cat applied just enough force to escape the violent assault and immediately ran to safety - the cat would have been fully in the right to make the assailant combat ineffective, but was not remotely interested in that.
Story 2: She'd be hospitalized quick. You come in my home without permission that's home invasion, a home invasion implies ill intent and will be answered in kind.
S2. Siamese cats can be heard up to a mile away. 2 of them once caused a would be burglar to rethink his life choices. They did serious damage.
I had a Siamese cat, named Tuk Tuk, that I raised from a baby, who had also been rejected by his mother. And I can confirm, Don't mess with a Siamese!
He was a sweetheart, but strangers were warned not to cross him! And they do like to howl!
I can just imagine the chaos Lucifer left in his wake! Good kitty!!!!😅😂❤
Last Story: Similar thing happened with my stepdad. My stepdad is a tiler, he works by fitting tiles in kitchens and bathrooms and one day, I decided to help him with his job due to him pushing 62 so he needed an extra pair of hands.
As we were working on this guy’s kitchen, we finished the job but the guy rung up by his cell phone and refused to pay and made up some bs story that he will pay later, which was a blatant lie, so my stepdad ripped up all the tiles before the cement coding could set and put them all back in his truck, which led the guy’s kitchen in an unfinished mess. The guy tried to call the cops on my stepdad but the cops ruled in my stepdad’s favour because the guy signed a weaver and refusing to pay counts for repossessing. In short pay your tradesmen.
first off, stealing mail is a felony.
Second off, when police refuse to enforce the law, it's moral to break it further in pursuit of justice.
Stealing mail delivered by the US postal service is a felony but it’s not a felony when delivered by Fed Ex or another delivery company.
If someone did that to my cat- I'm scared of what I might do!! Glad he was ok 😸
The various people she “visited” should have called the cops every time she just barged into their homes. She really wanted the cat that bad. ❤❤❤
Funny, didn’t realize how many people named their cats Lucifer until today 😂 I thought it fitting for my boy, being bright white (as a kitten) & the first born, but changed his name to Lucifur after a bit
Disney's _Cinderella_ was a factor and another one is the fact that the name Lucifer means "bringer of light". OP's cat is a real morning star.
I was playing this video and my s/o laughed hearing the cat's name. Our piebald cat is named Lucifer (Luci for short) and our tabby is a female named Loke.
Poison Oak and Poison Ivy? Normally I’d say that’s overkill, but in this case, I think it’s justified. Side note, that poor gardener probably didn’t fully trust anyone ever again.
My mom had a Siamese cat named Bonkers growing up. And that kitty didn’t like strangers even being on his turf. Unless you were brought in by mom or another of her family members, Bonkers would be tearing your skin off. Just like the drunk college guy who tried to break into their house one night. Let’s just say that he was never able to play football again (which is how he got in on scholarship 😅)
Story 2 - As a person who’s had a lot of cats since I was 8 this hits home with me. If someone like that Karen had done that to my beloved Snowshoe cat (closely related Siamese cats) that I’ve raised since he was a baby… let’s just say they’d have more than a few scratches, a deep bite wound, and a black eye. They’d be on the ground spitting out teeth and blood.
And I‘m not surprised that Karen’s hand got infected from the cat’s bite. When I was 12 I did cats in 4-H and learned that cats, like a lot of animals, carry a lot of bacteria in their mouths. Karen mostly likely didn’t clean the wound properly and waited too long before seeing a doctor.
She was too busy throwing a tantrum to clean the wound.
Yeah cats' mouth are filthy. They are exclusive carnivorous (unlike dogs that are opportunists, mainly carnivorous but they can eat some greens once in a while) that mean that the bacteria in their mouths are the truly putrid kind. When you're bitten by a cat, disinfect immediatly and closely monitor the wound.... At the SLIGHTEST sign of infection, rush to the ER. Isobethadine can't do anything for you at this stade, you need antibiotics.
Last story: Nothing would piss me off more than me doing alot of work for a relative who promised to pay me only to wait until the job is done and then claim they are using the family discount and refuse to pay me. I don't think I'd ever do what Op did I would probably tell the rest of the family and see if they can make them cough up the money promised if not I would be satisfied knowing that their reputation in the family is ruined or at least tarnished.
Story 2, naw call the cops at least two or three times with it from your house (to establish a documented legal paper trail), the next time, hold her at pewpew point (this will traumatize her, making it even less likely she'll be back), and up the charge to home invasion. And aren't Siamese cats _very_ expensive?
Oh, and when someone says they will get lawyers involved, it translates to 'I can't afford a lawyer's friend, let alone a lawyer'.
I’d pissed off one of my friends a few years back and to get back at me, he put laxative in a meal he’d made for me when he lodged with me before getting his own place. He did this trick on me a few times but I never noticed because being on the meds I’m on, and having IBS, sometimes I go from one extreme to the other regarding No. 2’s.
My friend owned up to this about a year ago and I thought it was hilarious !
We’ve been friends for 25 years this year and I love him to bits ! We’re always saying witty remarks to one another - he’s quicker off the cuff than me though and other people think he’s being mean to me but they don’t know him like I do (and I have a thick skin !)
First story the guy openly admitted to mail theft. Which is both a federal and state crime. So that is b.s that the cops couldn’t do anything about it.
They had his address on them so no, it wasn't a crime.
@@hectorsmommy1717 it didn't have his name on it, though
Its still a crime if you have the same address/residence as someone and you open their mail
@@hectorsmommy1717 if it is not addressed to you meaning if it is not in your name and you open, hide, keep, or destroy the mail it is a crime. It doesn’t matter if it has your physical address on it .
It's possible that it's a phoney story.
@TheDevilbuster that can be said about any reddit post that doesnt have photo evidence or links to news stories
Story 3 reminds me of the purple pot lady my grandma had to deal with. She’d steal shit from people and spray paint it all purple.
Story #2 reminds me of our very sweet, docile Siamese, Queenie. When I was a baby and my older brother was almost 2 yrs old, my parents got her as a kitten from a dear family friend, and everyone told my parents, "Don't get a Siamese!! She'll scratch the kids, she'll tear up your furniture and your curtains!! Siamese are nasty and destructive!!". She was a sweetheart and she LOVED being roughed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣 whoever was the roughest is who she slept with that night. My mom told me this from when I was a toddler: I had picked up Queenie by her ears when my mom wasn't looking and shook her as hard as a toddler can shake a 10lb Siamese cat. The second my mom saw me, she yelled "drop her!!", and I dropped her, which was not far being I wasn't that tall. Queenie just kinda shook it off, licked herself and walked away. Any cat would've torn me up for that, let alone a Siamese 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Queenie went over the Rainbow Bridge when I was 16, waiting until my mom got home from church, sat on her lap and passed away, and I still miss her to this day. Until we meet again Queenie, fly high over that Rainbow Bridge 😢😢
Story 4- Always get agreements in writing. If they refuse, they're trying to cheat you.
Two rules for a happy life:
1. Be nice to your neighbors
2. Be nice to the people who serve you
Story 1 - think i would have gathered photos of the items he didn't return, and a note of "he stole these from foster kids", put a copy on the door, on the car, at the mailbox (with the unit number to name and shame).
My cat was a stray but she's very beautiful and cute. She looks like a Norwegian Forest cat or Main Coon and still looks like a kitten even though she's already 2 years old. She is also leash trained and when I lived in Berlin we went on walks through the city or took the subway together. One day an idiot teenage girl thought she could steal her in the subway... My cat loves walks but hates people (just like me). So when that stranger picked her up and tried to run for it at a stop of the subway she just bit and scratched that girl. My cat managed to get out of her grasp and ran straight back to me. The girl escaped but I think she was bleeding pretty badly in the face and my cat was fine so I didn't get the police involved or anything. It was just like a minute or two long but definitely the most "What the hell?"-moment of my life. That was like maybe six months ago. Cat is still a little monster.
Oh, learning the cat's name at the end--Lucifer--is the cherry on top! 😂😂😂
A very good friend of mine had a Siamese, who apparently decided to claim me as a zone. He would literally climb up my leg climb up my arm and wrap himself around my neck and you know I never felt a single claw ever. And if anybody got too close, he would give them that raspy meow that told you not to get too close to his propertyJunior, I still miss you. you were one in 1 million.
I wonder if Lucifer (love that name!) actually got out of the house on his own, or if that crazy witch walked in unnoticed and STOLE HIM FROM THE HOUSE.
The parcels. We don't have individual mailboxes, we have a community mailbox where are individual boxes are. And there are a couple of large parcel slots. Before Amazon started delivering to houses, parcels would be mailed out. No biggie. Once the postmistress put a parcel for me into the parcel slot, but the key for the slot she put into my neighbor's box by accident. Well neighbor took the parcel, they too were expecting amazon, got it home and opened it. Only when they saw stuff for a dog, did they look at the name and see that it was our stuff. So they brought it over, and apologized for opening the parcel.
Hey, I don't know how many times I've just opened parcels WITHOUT checking that they were actually ours.
After saying all that, I think that guy was a real 'richard' for KEEPING stuff that wasn't his.

OP: Im going to destroy his personal life
Yeah sounds about right.
Ah yes, the don't mess with a cat named Lucifer story. One of my favorites
Messing with a SIAMESE cat named LUCIFER? What a missed opportunity for a Darwin award.
Last story: I've got no problem with what OP did to their cousin. Shouldve added a "well like you said cousin, be careful who you trust, and be careful who you screw over because they might lose your house key, then anyone could be able to trash a house"
Story 1: Stealing post is a federal crime, so there is very much OP could do, and that the cop could do!
The cop can't enter the apartment, but since the dirtbag have said what he said, there is proof that he has it and the cop could warn the idiot that if he doesn't return the packages, he will be arrested for postal theft...
What OP should have done first of all is to contact the postal service and make sure they send the packages to the new adress since the old one isn't working
(They shouldn't give out packages when the name is wrong, and they can be sued for postal fraud themselves)
Trying to steal a Siamese cat, NOT A GOOD IDEA KAREN!! Siamese are very vocal and love to have conversations, even more so, they are really, really temperamental animals. Meaning to mess around with a Siamese, and your certainty do not get a Siamese pissed off for any reason. My Siamese cat Mittens, loved to have a full conversation with me. I could talk to him, and he would answer me back in that horse-meow of his. But man, if he was done with that conversation or wanting nothing more to do with an activity than that was it and God help you if you engaged him more than he wanted, getting very annoyed, and being very vocal, and if you didn't get the message than a few hisses and growls usually worked. As for Karen, she got what she deserved messing with a pissed off Siamese. She's lucky that the cat didn't do more damage to her considering what she was trying to do to him! But he was a very loving lap cat. R.I.P MITTENS!!
Anyone else find it impressively redundant when someone says "entitled Karen"?
Depends on the level of Karen. You've got the oblivious Karen that says or does something annoying without realizing they're in the wrong and then quickly slinks back in shame or embarrassment when they finally get a clue. You've got the entitled Karen who doesn't care how much they're inconveniencing anybody as long as they get their way, they'll double down in an argument and won't apologize at all when they lose and flip you off when they leave. Then there is the Malicious Karen, who is purposefully looking for trouble or trying to get other people into trouble just for the fun of it. Finally, the Psycho Karen whose shenanigans often ends up in violence, police involvement, and jail time.
She should have been charged with animal cruelty for trying to bleach the cat. Those chemicals are toxic to cats.
I want to know if the cats OK after having bleach poured on him? Like did he need to go to the vet, did just washing it off work? Poor cat was innocent in all this and she literally could have killed him if he tried to lick the bleach off.
Story 3:Should have salted her ground, too.
Story 1:yeah admitting he had the gifts and not going to return them is admitting to a federal offence... it may have been to his address but not his name and mail fraud is a federal felony.
Story 1: if I were an officer, I'd be competent and escort them to the residence to get their items back because stealing mail is a crime 🥃
On the third story they should have added some stinging nettles and some really thorny bushes. Where I lived once there are rose bushes in the woods and when those thorns get your clothes they don't let go easily!! They are fairly big thorns and hurt enough if you unwittingly grab them not realizing it!!
Story 3 - A true embodiment of the saying ‘What goes around, comes around.’ Serves her right.
If someone tried something like that to my dog, I would be pissed.
Siamese cats are the best!!
Last: Another OP is a master carpenter in UK, and travels from site to site earning big bucks. He rents a house for the duration and leaves it spotless and often better than it was when he moved in because he likes to repair wooden fittings. On his last day, this time, however, the LL shows the middle finger and asks him "what can you do?". OP takes a room at a hotel and comes back after 9 PM. The neighbors knew he had stayed there so he wasn't worried. He used the house key he forgot to return and undid every fitting made of wood, plastic that used screws. Like cupboards, wooden floors, wall fittings. He randomly placed strips/ pieces in different rooms so the owner (and any carpenter he hired) would face a hell of a time. Then quietly left, threw the key in the trash and went back to his hotel. The LL easily lost 10 times what he "saved" by cheating on the deposit
the way the first OP decided to get back at the curmudgeon that wouldn't give his gifts back was a bit bizarre.
If someone tried to steal my cat not even god could save their souls from my wrath
Story 1: When the law won't help, you've just gotta do it yourself. Within reason of course.
Story 2: She got what she deserved. No matter how pathetic she looked the others who called the cops should've sent her to jail.
Story 3: You can't go on vacation if you're an asshole. How she expected no one would ever get her back is beyond me.
Story 4: Yeah, just as OP said, pay people who do work for you. When it comes to contractors they usually can't destroy what they installed if it's been make part of the property (ex. windows, cabinets, tile flooring) that won't stop them, or people you've made deals with, from getting some get back when the opportunity arises. Also, once again, don't leave town if you've made enemies.
The Christmass gifts story. Isn't keeping mail/post that is not addressed to you, considered mail theft ?? I think that filing a complaint to USPS or Fed-Ex or whichever service, that should deliver the packages, CAN help. Theft of mail/post is a federal crime, and one that is very costly to the thief. At least that is what I have heard over the last couple of years.
Actually, if the guy kept someone else's mail, that's not small claims, that's a federal
Story 1: No the cops can’t do anything about it. But if USPS handled it. They can do alot.
Story 1: The address on the packages is irrelevant...the NAME on the packages was not the name of the person who had unlawful possession of them...report them as stolen.
Story 2: I guarantee Karen would come into my home uninvited only one time...because she would hear the unmistakable sound of a pump-action shotgun being racked.
Could OP have turned the guy into the postal service for withholding mail?
2nd story: If she had watched more Disney, she could have avoided the whole mess. Lucifer is the name of the cat that harassed Cinderella. Also, Lady from Lady and the Tramp was harassed by a pair of siamese cats.
#2: "the cat hated her." Karen was too dim to notice this. The cat was smart.
She tried to BLEACH the cat?! Normally, I’d put a comment about not stealing someone’s cat and adopting from a shelter… but this woman has no business having a cat in her care.
Story 2: OP's sister is a damn hero. Let's be real, we hear stories all the time like this, but OP's sister actually squared up and punched Karen straight in the face, AND pressed charges enough to get Karen arrested, but we never see anyone actually do anything about these kinds of Karens. Breath of fresh air.
I had a cat that I discovered was borderline allergic to topical flea medication. The very smell set him off.Unfortunately,it was me trying to give him the medication and he bit me in the wrist. I didn't bleed much but he got a tendon and the wrist was sore for weeks. He was instantly sorry that he bit me and did all he could to show he was sorry. I knew I'd screwed up and cuddled him until he calmed down. No I did not blame the cat, but I could see how bleech could totally set a cat off and especially if it was used by someone who it didn't like.
should have complained to the PO tampering with the mail gets more action
9:25 bleach!? That's animal abuse!!!
He's holding mail hostage, That might actually be a legal issue. Cat's hate overbearing people. Once I went to dinner with my aunt and a friend who brought along a kleptomaniac friend. The woman was constantly grabbing stuff and saying oh I'm just going to grab one of these and stuff it in her purse. It was so embarrassing to be in public with her.
i'd tell cousin's parents what they did and demand payment for my services. and warn all the relatives that she doesn't pay people for doing work for her.
Story 1. You were expecting the cops to do anything? If it ain't donuts and coffee, forget it
Story 2. My aunts siamese cat was called Satan. Lol
Story 1: You go to the police. That is theft - keeping something you know is not yours.
The cops actually broke the law by not investigating the mail because that's a federal offense
Not the cops job actually. That's for the postal police. They have their own form of police and agents to enforce these laws. Locals aren't in jurisdiction on federal law
