It is February . I asked my kids if they would like to get a camper someday. They got all excited and said it would be so much better than the tent. So, the income tax comes and I get it in the bank on February 10th. They tell me I can get the funds the next day.
I call "Sneaky Pete" (no, not his real name) and tell him I will have the money in a few days.
He tells me he needs cash to take to the bank, because if his ex knows I am buying it she won't sign it over. The next day on the 11th I write myself a check and put on the memo 2006 Dutchmen Four Winds camper. Then I take the cash home and put it in my safe.
My son sees it and asks why I have cash, I never have more than 50 cash at any time. I just use my debit or credit card. I tell him it is a surprise. I have a big one for Valentine's day.
Well, it is the 13th and I haven't seen Sneaky Pete yet. He is calling and texting and being his fake self. I get a SMOOCH text, which my son sees and laughs.
The 20th rolls around and he is ready to meet to get the payoff for the camper. My son sees the money when I take it out and put it in the car. I drop my 3 kids off at school and meet with the money at a park. He doesn't have a bill of sale, but tells me he will bring it over that evening with the camper. He claims he is off to the hardware store to get a part, then to the bank to do the payoff and get the title. He calls about 10 minutes later and tells me he is at the hardware store and tells me he will call me back shortly. (This is a lie... he was never there and probably a ploy to see if I was following him)
He is taking my son hunting the next day with his State Trooper room mate and the room mate's son.
