Only a 3 hour drive...... but I would wind up leaving there with a bigger headache after beating this guy down.....
SO that is why I ask a mutual 3rd party that does not have my level of anger with this guy to help in a "level headed" manor. Someone has to know someone in the area who could use the cash and has the time to pressure this guy into repayment.
If I could get in contact with a local police officer I am sure they would like the extra cash and would have the means to keep this guy in check and get him to cough up the money.....
