ok, so on freecycle, i give away stuff i dont need. so my mother in law gave me 75 brand new purses from her collection she acquired over many years. i picked out what i liked and the rest i gave away.

2 months later, she realizes she hid $4000 in cash and a diamond necklace in one of the purses i gave away.

do we have any legal right now? to get it back? it was a complete accident and i know the person has it, and now is avoiding me because they dont wanna give it back.

the necklace was of much sentimental value and my mother in law is distraught out of her mind now,as am i.

i know the person has it, and since ive called her and emailed her about it, she is suddenly MIA and avoiding me. heck i even went to her job and she wasnt there, when she owns the place!!!

what can i do?? anything?? (i hope)

Did you resolve the ethical issue at work, or will you resolve to solve the problem head-on in 2008?

Is there a price to pay for ethics on the job?

Is there a logical solution to resolving issues of conscience at work?

After reading an article, I am simply devasted. An entire family wiped out due to a drunk driver who of course only suffered minor injuries!

"The 36-year-old mother and three children died at the scene.

A 6-month-old baby later died at a nearby hospital.

The driver in the pickup truck is believed to be Michael Gagnon, of Adrian, Mich.

He suffered minor injuries in the crash.

According to police, he was driving at three times the legal blood-alcohol limit."

Our laws are too numerous, too harsh, some are unconstitutional, and this garbage pile of legal code continues to grow each year as politicians run on a "get tough on crime" platform and pro-Three Strikes Law activists push their hate. Nowhere is there redemption and rehabilitation anymore.

And unless this impacts us personally, who is going to acknowledge this problem and oppose it.

I know there are some out here who feel our laws are too draconian, but know that civil disobedience will only turn those same laws against us. Is the answer to over turn bad laws when sitting on juries? To exerise "jury nullification", a seldom-mentioned right of all citizens?

So your good Earl received a letter through the post informing me I had won some Spanish lottery I have never heard of...all I had to do to claim my winnings was send off my bank details...yeah right...
It is obviously a scam.
I'm sure I heard once that you can report these things to help stop them. Citizens advice? Trading standards? What do you reckon, hmmmm?

There is this guy at work in his 40s. Because he did a lot of drugs in the past, his brain is pretty fried. He says very unprofessional things to customers all the time, asking questions that are none of his buisiness. He doesn't even do his job and walks at an old lady pace all the time. He is incapable of even the simplest of tasks. He stands around most of the time just watching other people work. People are nice to him because they can tell he is pretty much a self made retard. The only reason he got hired in the first place is because of Axcess (or something) it's like a vocational rehab thing. He clearly has no future in his career and he needs to go. Even if he is somewhat protected by this "Give stupid brain fried druggies jobs" program, is there something I can do to make management see that he needs to go? Oh yeah, and he smokes in the bathroom which is very much against company policy.

denies over 45 million people access to medical treatment? How can you honestly and morally think it is okay that real people really do die because of the current system? I am just wondering your justifications.

Many years ago a family friend would touch me places that he shouldn't. Then after that happened he would have sex with me. I know that what he did was wrong. For years I have considered what he did to me was molest me. During a recent conversation with a friend, they said that this man repeatedly raped me. Is this possible? Which one of us is right?

A man named 'Farnsy' just posted a question about thinking he 'may be' a pedophile. it was taken down just minutes ago. I got onto his 360 profile, got his pic, his state, and numerous perverted comments that have to deal with kid role-playing. I work at microsoft. It's not hard to find him. Besides driving there and killing him myself, I can't find any FBI sites or numbers that I can talk to RIGHT NOW, and the local cops just told me it's not thier job. pedo's almost never talk about thier actions until they have actually planned something or done it. He says he has young children. I would die of guilt if I found out he did anything in the meantime. I've already got a few co-workers watching him, but we can't do anything until he admits an actual action or gives evidence. any way to do anything, please? my daughter was taken by a pedo neighbor and found almost dead behind a store *she's 7* if THIS guy gets away, I'll die. HELP!

The other day I was pulled over. The police officer asked for my liscense and blah blah blah. He then suspected us of smoking marijuana because my windows were foggy. Ironically I had paraphenillia on me and marijuana but we wern't smoking in the car and there was no way I smelled of anything because I didn't even smoke that day. I have no idea why the windows were foggy... cuz of body heat?. I had a BB gun in my back seat (my trunk is broken) and the officer asked me why it was there. It was there because I was going to pawn it earlier for gas money but the pawn shop was closed. The officer then asked me to step out of the car and searched me. He didn't ask too or anything. He found my marijuana and bowl. The police officer then had me wait in the back of his car and didn't tell me anything about what was going on. Police searched my car and found some joint papers and other little things. After sitting in the police car for about 20 minutes, the officer tells me I am under arrest and

This happened on my provisional license, I know it is two points. My questions are, how much is the fine, and how much do I have to pay to get the points taken off. And how many points are allowed on a provisional license before it is suspended.
