Ok, so I tried calling all my friends cause I just had to vent, but no one picked up so I have to vent on here!
Every single cop I have ever known (professionally or personally) was a lying, God-tripped, ego-centered piece of garbage!!!!
So I find an classified add on an unnamed forum for an almost complete black intererior out of 1992 GT and it's in cherry, cherry condition for $425 picked up and it's only about 3 hours from me. (he also had it listed on eBay)
So I contact they guy and he tells me to send him my phone number so he can call me. He calls me, and after asking him some questions and getting some detailed info and him telling me I'm the first to contact him on it, I tell him that I will 100% commit to buying the full interior and that I will drive down ASAP. I tell him I can send him a complete Paypal payment or a partial down payment or whatever he wants.
He then tells me he will for sure sell to me and he is 100% committed to selling it to me and there is no need for a down payment as long as I bring cash to pick it up and will consider it sold and end the eBay auction for it. He even said word for word:
"Dan, I'm not an ass, I'm a State Trooper and a stand-up guy and I'm not going to go and sell it to someone else . . . and I will end the eBay auction."
I also ask him if I can program the number he called me on into my phone book and contact him on it, and he says yes. So I tell him I'll contact him shortly with a date within the next week when I can drive down and we leave it at that.
So then I get on my eBay on Sunday morning and notice that he still has not ended the auction and there's only a couple hours left and it's at like $350. So I call him to see if I can get a hold of him and just leave him a message saying:
"Hi, I guess you forgot to end the auction on eBay, so I'm going to put a bid on it just to make sure you don't get some guy on eBay pissed off at you, but if I have to bid over $425 I'm gonna hold you to our original deal of $425."
So I bid on it a few times within the last minute and get outbid. So I call him back and leave him another message saying:
"I bid a few times but didn't bid high enough and got outbid, so I don't know what you wanna do, but I'm telling you right now if you back out and screw me over I will be pissed."
24 hours goes by and I don't hear from him so I call him again the next day and say:
"Look man, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt right now and maybe you're just working or haven't got my messages, but I would expect a guy who says he's a police officer to be a stand up guy and stick to his word, call me back."
Try call him a few more times that day with no success and another 24 hours goes by and I leave him another message this morning saying:
"I'm beginning to think you're ignoring my calls man and screwing me over, but I could be totally wrong and you just haven't gotten my messages yet. But if you're going to screw me over at least have the balls to call and tell me so, I would expect a cop to at least do that. And if it's about the money, I would be willing to give you $500 for everything."
I try call several more times with no luck and finally call several times in a row and get him to pick up. At first he tries to play dumb and not remember me, then I said:
"Man, just tell me what you are going to do - are you going to sell it to me or to the other guy on eBay??"
Then he says, "Well I'll tell you what I'm going to do, I'm NOT honoring our agreement and I'm going to sell to the guy on eBay!"
He then goes on and on and tries to pull all this BS about how we had no agreement and how he said he "might" end the eBay auction and sell to me and there was no commitment there. And trying to down talk me and convince me he is a stand up guy and a bunch of BS!
I would not have been so mad if would not have lied through his teeth, so by this I'm just steaming and I said word for word:
"You know what, it's my fault, I should have known better than to trust a PIG!!"
Well, that really got him worked up and he starts to tell me how I've done nothing but harass him and all my voicemails have been threatening and he tells me he's opening a class 3 misdemeanor felony for harassment or some bull crap.
"So I said, you do whatever you feel like you gotta do to help you sleep at night, this conversation is over!"
And I hung up!!
Anyway, it just pisses me off how so many cops think that just because they are cops they are "stand up guys" no matter what they do or who they screw!! And you do one thing to piss them off they think they can rip your world apart!
Edit: I am in no way saying that all cops are like this, just saying that every cop I have ever know is like this.
