TT,

I have a neighbor who is friendly and seems to be a decent guy. But he borrowed a pair of clippers and won’t return them after repeated requests. I always thought he was a cool guy, but one time I saw him laughing at me in a really condescending way. Maybe I was wrong in thinking it, but I feel there is something going on. What should I do?

BD,

Your impression I’m sure is correct. You must realize that there are tons of backstabbing low-lives out there. Assume the worst.  Stay up as late as you can and march over to his front door and bang on it loudly. When he comes out, demand your clippers or you’re not leaving. Don’t be afraid to get nasty. Now if they aren’t there because he lost or threw them away, tell that arrogant dingleberry that you will report it as stolen property. Of course the police, won’t do anything so you will have to take other action. Don’t tolerate any nonsense. You have several options.
