Brutal place here---state the obvious and oh well! It sure is not looking good for Art.

1. Art has something that does not belong to him and will not return it by his own written word.
2. Art�s friends that continue to attack the OP are really showing the lack of honor and character they posses as well as misguided loyalty. Will be interesting after this is over to see not only how Art but his friend Sean will be treated by the people here because now it is clear that neither can be trusted. Art if he really was their friend should have told them to stand down because all they have accomplished is making themselves look like fool�s.
3. Hopefully with all of the alternatives pointed out here and the Post Office is a very good idea to look into the OP will get his property back because at some point Art will measure what he has to gain by what he has to lose. The respect part is gone but at least he might save himself some money, time and further trouble by just sending the stuff back because once LEO and others are brought into this situation in a small town tongues will wag like a pack of hounds chasing a coon.



If all else fails don't get mad get even!
