Where is your store? I need some shit.

It is theft of service and unfortunatly it is a crime. These rental places charge outrages prices and skate around the credit industry, then they use their local PD to collect for them. These laws were actually designed for heavy equipment back in the day now these rental places take advantage of the law. Once I got all my local stores lined up on making it easy for us to file them my CID Sgt took over the process. He takes the case, wrights it up, and makes a call. 90 percent of the time they bring it back and he clears the case. Ten percent of the time we file charges. Once charges are filed we will not drop them even if they bring it back. They had their chance.

Wow, that's crazy!

Yeah felony charges on a TV and stand you could have bought for half the price anywhere else is a bitch.

If the people have made most of the payments we tell them to go to court on it because that is a little much. The ones I like to file are the butheads that make the original 75 dollar payment and then tell RAC to kiss it and get ugly with the employees thinking nothing will be done. They usually go to jail and we get the stuff back.

Oh and to the OP you need to follow the proper proceedure and just file them. The way you want it done sounds like the mob. Hey police I will pay you some cash to lean on a fella for me. Thats not gonna fly.......

Its rent to own so its theft of rental property talisman. No its not a bluff. I know all it would take is one call and she'd give it back. $200 for half an hour and 15 phone calls? Thought someone might have been interested

That "part time job" would not be authorized by the Chief's office.

Sounds Civil, not criminal. Good luck.

Look, I can assure you none of us po-po will put our necks on the line (literally) when we aren't under the umbrella of the department we work for. Plus, who is to say she will actually believe us to be LEO. I second the notion someone made above to get a lawyer. I don't quite understand the exact charge or circumstance you are talking about, but if this is a criminal charge then goto ur local PD and file a walk in report. If this turns out to be a civil issue, which it appears to me to be, then you need to contact your local JOTP or constable. I would actually start there. Find out what precinct you are in, call and as for a deputy constable, and see what action he thinks will work. To me it sounds like you have locked yourself into a civil monetary agreement which PD's are NOT responsible for. That's why god made constables
