Default Legal or street-legal advice needed: how do I deal with a (hypothetical) crook?

Posted By: David

While these cases didn't have to do with insurance, I had two notable problems with shipping-- both involving cards I was supposed to receive via mail but didn't. These were two extreme cases, due to both the money involved and, more importantly, that the intent of theft was apparent. One was a multi-thousand $ group lot of items I consigned, the other was for a trade (a Fatima Premium for 200 T206s and E cards)-- in other words, no small potatoes, as Dan Quayle might say. In the end, I explained to each that what they were doing was a felony (in particular, one was across state lines), and that if I didn't receive my cards by noon on a particular day (in about 4 or five days after ), I would consider it felony theft and act accordingly. Which I would have. I received both lots of cards (certified, naturally) before noon on the required days.
