Homeowners insurance on an island

eyenotall777,

I have to say it was probably the most frustrating experience of my life and I just wanted to move on from the experience. The cost to take this individual to court in a civil case would have rivaled the actual lose and dragged the experience for another couple of years. He had done it twice before and was sued both times. Dragged the cases out for 2 or more years and cost each of the other victims even more money and time. The mistake I made was including the Alton PD in on the collection of the items. First they acted like Barney Fife for 3 months, then screwed my case up the the county prosecutor due to their poor questioning. Once they were involved I couldn't do a thing on my own, for fear of being arrested or sued myself. Next time, if it ever happens again, on any of my properties, I'll go into the perps house swinging a big stick and asking questions later. Live and learn. It seems sometimes that the laws are only around to protect the guilty.
