You can run, but you can’t hide!

There are all kinds of sketchy folks out there who think they can outrun their problems and hide from the folks who are after them, but most of the time, their luck runs out and they get what’s coming to them.

And if you’ve ever been screwed over by someone who skipped town, we think you’re gonna love this story.

Read on and see what happened!

Trashy tenants moved out of parents’ property in the middle of the night. Few months later I got them on social media.

“Tenants on the trashy side had been living at my parents’ property for a while.

After a cash windfall they decided it was time to move out.

Fine. Whatever.

They start complaining and being late on rent. Mold, etc….and take us to court.

This is super sketchy…

They never show up to court. This elongates the process so they end up basically living for free in our house while taking us to court for poor living conditions (I know, right?).

A few months go by until they HAVE to go to court. One of them shows up crying that their baby is dying because of the mold, blah, blah.

Judge goes in on her saying you’ve been living there rent free for over six months. If your baby is sick, why don’t you leave?

Whoa!

And we also had a mold guy come in and inspect the house and he basically said it’s not mold that’s giving your kid breathing problems it’s your cigarette smoke.

Case gets thrown out, they gotta pay back rent.

Literally that night they get a U Haul and leave town. I followed their every move on Instagram knowing they were eventually gonna slip up. A few weeks go by and they start posting pics of their house and such.

It was payback time!

Eventually they put a location on one of their pics. Bad move, honey. Bless your heart. Got on google earth, found street, found actual house by matching the red door to one of their pics.

Sent it to lawyer.

They got served and the guy had to sell his vintage car to pay us back.”

Boy, was that satisfying, or what?

You can say that again!

Nice work tracking these dirtbags down!

These sketchy folks thought they could get away with whatever they wanted!
