Hi all! I want to share with you a life changing experience that I had a few weeks ago. This is difficult for me to talk about but I hope some people can also learn from this. A few weeks ago, there was a knock on my door and three police officers were there.They asked for me and this began my nightmare. Before I had moved to the state where I am at now, I had rented a tower for a computer through a local rental store. In the midst of moving and job transferring, I had lost all the paperwork and took the tower with me, hoping to make good on it and finish paying once I found the paperwork that I needed. (bad mistake on my part should have just returned it right away) Anyway, they said I had a warrant from the state that I moved from for the tower. I have never been in trouble with the law before so I was a little freaked out. I ended spending two weeks in jail and now am having nightmares over the whole experience. I was able to return the tower thru Fed Ex and the store did drop the charges but it was an experience that I will never forget.

Wow! They put you in jail for two weeks because of a computer? That's crazy. They think you stole it? That's awful. My goodness. People who are real criminals get less than that. I'm sorry that happened to you that is just awful.
