Out of pocket for the rest of the day. In Charleston, SC to help my daughter in her breach of contract lawsuit against her former tenants who bolted three months into a two-year lease and maliciously destroyed her pristine brand-new $250,000 home.

Financial issues forced my daughter and son-in-law to leave Los Angeles where they'd rented a pricey downtown apartment and return after just three months. My son-in-law is a film and video editor and had a great job at a post-production house in Santa Monica.

I filed the lawsuit in October myself to save them legal fees. I'm not arguing the case but we are meeting with a lawyer this afternoon to represent them in court.

Chickaboomer will return maybe tonight! A good hump day to all!

This is what these sociopaths did to the carpet (which once was cream-colored Berber) in three months with banned by the lease pets:  urine stains, fleas, lice.  Flea bombs didn't work.  Not even professional exterminators were able to eradiate all the pests.

The perps painted 90% of the walls and poorly.  Verboten  according to the lease. 

And that's just for starters.... My lawsuit asks for $30,000  in rent to fulfil the breached contract; actual and punitive damages. 

Too much P&S for 26 and 32-year-old responsible, law-abiding, conservative young adults. 

Thanks to CB's Sam Spade - the intrepid PI Joseph Culligan of Web of Deception for tracking down the perps and acquiring everything but their underwear sizes!
