Okay so it must have been about 9 year ago now and we still lived in Staten Island...............It was Mother's Day and I asked my DH for a Coach Wallet. I bid on and won one on Ebay for around $75. It came from a nice woman in Long Island and I was very thrilled with it. Fast forward to two week later and the Nassau County Police in Long Island called and told me I've bid on a counterfeit Coach wallet. Well for $75 I wasn't really surprised so what the heck. The Poicemen then said they need to break up the counterfeiting ring and they were going to confiscate my wallet. They also wanted me to testify if and when they were brought to trial. Well listen, my Mama didn't raise no fool. There wasn't a chance in Heck that this schlepy housewife from Staten Island was gonna testify against a COUNTERFEITING RING that close to where she lives. I told that Policeman that exact thing and that I'd be willing give him my fake wallet though. He was at my house within the hour and off went my wallet. I got a lot of pressure from other Ebayers encouraging me to testify, but heck no, they did not live in the counterfeiters backyard!!! I also had the nerve to ask the counterfeiter on Ebay for a refund because the wallet was fake and that I would mail it back to her. She DID refund my money, but I couldn't return the wallet I didn't have. Years passed without me giving it another thought. Well lo and behold THREE years later the Policeman called me, said they broke up the ring and that he was returning my wallet. And he did!!! Did I happen to mention I LOVE EBAY!!!

MR, that is quite a story!! So in the long run you got a FREE Coach Wallet and a great story. Now that's a pretty good deal

I am glad that it worked out for you in the end! So do you still use the wallet?

 

[lbgraves]

We use to get Mr. Softee too Andy! And Good Humor, and the Hood Truck and Bunaglow Bar. One time all four showed up on the block at the same time. It was an Ice Cream Man Show Down

Also, our Mr. Softee guy was deaf. He obviously was good at reading lips to take our orders. But now that I think about it. Legally speaking, are deaf people allowed get driver's licenses?

LOL! Back then they were. Back then people got away with A LOT of things.

At least you got a free wallet in the end, but still !

 

[O'BWV]

Paula I do use the wallet from time to time, hey I'm not above a using a decent knock-off. I am really glad the Police didn't force me to testify, I did worry about that a little. But the truth is I couldn't add to their case. I thought I was buying a real Coach, but when I confronted the seller with the fake accusation she gave me a full refund. What kind of witness would I have made saying that? I'm glad they were able to break up the ring however and I probably should have helped. But this is NY afterall and I was afraid of the counterfeiting ring.

I'm going in !!

This is one of the books that I have enjoyed. It is what made me realize that I didn't have the tools that I needed to be a good mother due to my childhood and needed to make a conscious effort to gain them. http://www.epinions.com/She_s_Gonna_Blow_by_Julie_Ann_Barnhill/_redir_att__~1

My younger sister lives near them and has never been able to get out from under their control. She was the perfect child who never did any wrong and went from living in their house to getting married & them "renting" her DH's dad's condo. It's sad really how completely opposite the two of us are. She had PPD after her first child and again after the 2nd...but she never recovered and they took advantage of that. She now has Bipolar Disease & has been anerexic, and her DD is ADHD. I found that I have to seperate myself from her. I get an email from her a few times a year. I had to face that she has a mental illness and I can't "fix" her. I did have to tell her that I had to stop being her therapist because it was tearing me apart & taking me away from my family...the 4 of us here. I also told her that I can't have any part of her dealings with our birth parents anymore. She knows what they are going to do every time and she keeps letting them into her life again. I could never forgive some of the things that they have done to her & her kids...but that is her life & choice. One thing that I learned from her is that the favorite child doesn't necessarily have the "perfect" life. She grew up feeling guilty that I was the one being abused.

Lisa!!! I'm glad you distanced yourself from a toxic relationship. I have also learned to do the same. Thanks for the link to the book!

It sounds like she's a pretty good seller too, so I would say you have a great combination there!
