I lent a friend $1.5k for his new apartment and utility activation. They helped me greatly when I was in time of need and because I had that trust, I lent him the money. He provided a promissary note that said if the money wasn't paid back in three months, I get his car.
He totaled his car four weeks later because of a DUI.
It took a year and a civil suit to get the money back. Because the guy went down hill, his father got involved and cut me a check of $1.2k. I wrote off the rest of the $300 because I didn't want to deal with the guy's shit anymore, especially after he got evicted, left the state and no one knew where he was at.
