    I've been robbed!

    As if it's not hard enough to get a *nix business going in Ohio, someone has to go and steal from me.

    I'm out 1000 bucks on a server to a guy I used to call a friend. I suppose the old saying, "Don't s*&t where you eat" comes into play. It seems to me that old friends and family will screw you over faster than regular customers.

    It really puts a damper on the growth of a business to have so much money be wasted so early in the business's life.

    Remind me not to do anyone favors.

    Ouch, that sucks.
    Hopefully you'll be able to cover up those losses with good business.

    Dude, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get your money back or at least beat it out of him

    We go to court tomorrow. I plan on trouncing him soundly in front of the judge.

    Good luck. Unfortunately, getting a judgement is often easier than collecting the money.
