Well, he didn't "steal" the tapes, exactly. We spent hours and hours editing the crashes, putting them on a master, and mixing music, (which I also recorded). We started shopping it around, and Tower said if they could get "X" number of the tapes, they would agree to sell. So did a few other places. I even went sofar as to look into bulk quantity VHS tapes lables, ect. Everything seemed to be ready to go, then he had some "personal problems" and the whole thing was put on hold while he "straightened them out". (I think he saw the dollar signs, and was "planning", not straightening.) Anyhow, he wouldn't return calls, ect. and so I went to his office, and caught him there, and he made up some bullisht story, and I left thinking everything was good. He even gave me back all the original tapes. A few days went by, and not hearing from him, I got a little suspicious, so we popped in a tape, and it was blank! Some had been used to re-record on, but 90% of all the content, (including some video of family stuff) was gone. Went back to the office, and it was empty! No forwarding address, nothing. No one who was an aquaintence knew where he went. I found out his home address, and went there, nothing, he moved from there a day or two before. At that point, I got pissed, and gave up (if ya kill 'em, ya gotta eat 'em) Never heard from him again, though he did have my number, and knew where I lived. Lesson learned I guess. Thought he was my friend, but I was wrong, and as I later found out, was not the only one who was taken for a ride. At least I didn't give him any money. Dukester: file a police report?!? The cops around here won't even come out and investigate when someone steals your motorcycle!!!!!! Think: "Boss Hog and the boys" Don't ask.......
