Serious moral dilemma

Okay, so after the second shop closed down, I moved in with a friend in Orange County. This turned out to be a bad idea. Drama ensued. His mother was there. I wasn't aware how this would all turn out, as she was an insane biiiiiiisomethingorother and wound up turning my friend against me. I move back to Los Angeles and open my new store. I go back for my stuff and a lot of it is somehow missing. A mini-fridge, some personal stuff, and almost a thousand dollars worth of NES and SNES games.

Yeah.

So I'm leaving for the east coast and have no time to sue him. But I can't let this lie. I do have a list somewhere of all the stuff that went missing and I'll dig it up... so I had a potentially rotten idea, but an effective one.

Do I start posting their public information anywhere I can with this story, urging random internet people to call up and encourage him to return my stuff or the equivalent value? Or do I let this crap lie? Or is there another way that doesn't involve a nasty cross-country lawsuit?

Well the harassment idea sounds good BUT it is harassment which could lead you into legal trouble and then you'd still have a cross country legal battle...

That's the potentially delicacies part. Not only would he be bringing the core issue to court, he'd be getting the brunt of the filing costs.

They have your public information too and means to get any updated info too.

It's a lot of money. If you even take legal action, will you ever get the money anyway?

If the guy hasn't got a pot to p**s in, then you can't have it right?

Revenge could be fun.

A nice concerted effort to bring $1k of misery. You have the name, address, telephone, mobile, email addresses right?

Dating sites, fetish sites, pizza delivery, bank accounts, local police, Drugs enforcement, facebook, gas company, it's all pretty easy to register, unregister, alert, inform, delete, reformat and update through the miracle of communication right?

I could point you at doing Spoof emails, loading a back door on his PC, some sort of drive-by hack. Then the fun really begins right? There is all manner of stuff that could back loaded onto a compromised PC

Just a thought.

Don't do business with someone who is still with his mummy. He might be a child (in the head). List your stuff. Was there a big ebay auction sometime? Or a flea market near the child's home? How can you prove that you brought the games to his home? Do you have a video of you and him in your shop with the games around? Do you know his alias in forums, auction websites? Warn the people, yes.
