Do you need bail money??? ;D
-
His last posts said he had a bunch of "bad crap" going on. M'ette, can you check on him ?
-
Easy guys, he is going through a rough time right now. Be patient, give him some space and keep him in your prayers - the Cat will be back.
-
Had a long long talk again with Haz, the Cat..and he ask that I give everyone ( without the hours long detail) a bit of what is going on.
We have all had times in our lives when we are tested to the utmost max. It seems that in those trial and tested times that things just can't get worse ..and then they do.
I told him to post something but right now, he is just over whelmed with staying on top of everything..so because of the amount of work and fighting to keep his head above water.. he told me he had to stay off the forum and concentrate on work until he heals up a bit. ..So he gave me permission and ask me to post for him..
And like a dutiful and loyal "sister" I told him I would.

I am just so sweet and nice that it even astounds me sometimes.. ;D ;D
There are a few of you who already know this.. but for the most part, we have kept quiet , not thinking it was anyones place to say anything. But now, since I have orders.. I guess it is.. :) sooooooooooo..
Right now, this is what is going on with Haz.
His accountant ( who has been doing all his accounting and business books ) has been embezzling money from him. This guy hasn't paid his business accounts at all so everything is overdue and not paid and the company's want their money of course.
He of course was hired to take care of all of this but instead opted to take all the money for the business accounts and has used the money for himself.. plus taken out credit cards in Haz's name.. maxed those out.. and run up other bills along the way.. for his personal pleasures.
Hazcat found all of this out by accident when he went to open up a credit card to be used for the sole purpose of one part of his business and he run a credit check on himself. :o
Bingo..............it was quite an eye opener.
And after several weeks of Haz.. NOT the police..uncovering evidence.. Haz finally got the police to do something and has had him put in jail.
But before Haz put him in jail ( which took a LONG time because of some unconcerned female detective not doing her job) ... This crooked slime ball of an accountant lied to the police saying Haz threatened to kill him with guns.... so and they came and took all Haz's guns. After LOTS of talk and evidence supporting himself.. He gets them back on Friday. ... ( That was a HUGE endeavor and Dave ( Haz) has found out just what the legal system is made up of.. * I think you could say.. he isn't impressed* >:(
Then the accountant also lied and issued a restraining order on Haz's girlfriend.. saying that she broke into this guys apartment ( which Haz owns ) and tried to burglarize him ( another lie and not true)
They were out of town when this supposedly happened.
This creep took a sledge hammer and busted up ( on purpose) a $10,000 kitchen that Haz put in this apartment that he was letting this accountant guy live in.
This guy doesn't have $1.25 to his name.. so forget anything coming back from that.
So the Hazcat family decided to take a break you know, and get away and relax for a few days..
But while they were gone for those few days ( to try to relax) Haz had a mild heart attack.
( One of 3 I think)
So part of that 'vacation' was spent in the hospital. :-\
He gets home and his transmission went out on his truck.. had to have that replaced.
Then the plumbing went to shit in his house and he had to have it all replaced at a tune of $3,000. He has cement floors and the plumbing was under that.. soooo it had to all be taken up to get to the to the pipes. ..
So basically he is just rock bottom right now..
He counts his blessings on several things though..
His business partner is hanging there with him.. and helping hold things together while Haz tries to get everything back up and running.
His son is an angel in disguise and is such a good kid with tons of support and help for his dad. His girlfriend is standing strong by his side..
And the best is he found out about this scanky slime bastard bottom dwelling river rat now..... instead of next year when he would have had to sell everything he owned to get out of debt..
I told him there are HUGE reasons why he is going through this. There are no accidents in our lives. There IS a plan.. he just doesn't have all the game pieces yet but the scales will balance out for the better.
Feel free to send him PM's and or post on here.
I told him he needed to check in at least and scan some things in the forum even if he doesn't post for awhile..
But have no fear.. THE CAT WILL BE BACK!

Thanks very much for the update Marshal'ette. I will have him in my prayers.

Thanks
-
Thanks for the update M'ette.
-
Yes, thanks Teresa.
Anything we can do of a practical nature to help him out?
-
Thanks much for the update and information!
Hang in there Haz, and let us know if there is anything we can do. After all, we're just one big disfunctional family out here, but we're with you.
-
Hang on HAZ!
We'll keep you in our prayers.
-
Yes, thanks Teresa.
Anything we can do of a practical nature to help him out?
I've personally offered some financial help, I don't have much saved back.. but I have offered it non the less.
He declined ( as most of us would) and said he will get it all worked out. He said he isn't giving up and will get his company back in the black.
And I believe him.. :)
He also knows we are here for him in any capacity if he needs us. And I think if he DOES need us in any way.. .. he will ask.
Anyway, he darn sure better.. :)
-
Haz,
If your out there, know this...
I'm living proof that what don't kill ya WILL make you stronger. There are probably a few more here that can offer the same sentiments.
Hang in there... ;)

Yes, exactly as Tim said.
Sometimes it seems that the harder you hoe, the thicker the weeds keep getting until you can't see the rows anymore.
Hang in there, Haz. You're in my (our) thoughts and prayers.
-
Right is Might Hang in there were with you.
-
I'm sorry to hear about everything that has been piled on top of your plate Haz.
I was thinking, and I know that this was done recently but thought that it might be appropiate, but what about another target shooting contest in Haz's name. If he could be convinced to take the money then great, and if not then something could be done like a giveaway of his choosing. I know that he can get out of the spot he's in, but thought that this might speed up the process a little.
Anyway just thought that I would throw the idea out there.
-
Haz,
Best to you and good luck getting things straitened out. I'll keep you in my prayers. Sure hope the scumbag accountant gets what ever is comming to him.
-
I can certainly empathize. Wish him a speedy recovery, and lots of support for me.
-
Sorry to hear that, lots of that type of thing going around as of late. this is the 3rd time I've heard that story this month. >:(
The bad part is small biz loans are really hard to get right now unless you have something juicy to put up as collateral.
-
Sorry to hear about this stuff dude, I thought my life was suckin' right now! Well, don't sweat it, things will get better, it's getting better for me and it will get better for you. Keep it up.
-
What doesn't kill ya, makes ya stronger. You'll be in our prayers

Hang in there Haz. It will get better. It HAS TO.

Hey Y'all,
Quick up date. First, thanks for all the prayers and support. I actually think they worked. On Wednesday the injunction he had against me was dismissed (the Judge loved that he was in jail). and now today I went to a bond hearing for him and the judge upheld his bond and issued a "no contact" order to him (with out my asking) so maybe the justice system will work IF I stay proactive. I also got my guns back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (with out damage....another story for another time)
We are moving ahead and trying to satisfy our vendors and service our customers. With work and time I WILL survive. I have 10 years of blood and sweat in this company and it WILL NOT FAIL!.
I have another request for y'all. My sale managers' wife has been fighting a bad hernia operation that needed to be redone. This started in October last year ans is STILL very worrisome. Please put Kevin and Patty in your prayers.
I'll be in touch as able and will answer PMs as able.
Luv my DRTV family.

Keep plugging, Haz, everything gets better. Prayers for all, even your accountant. I pray he gets a 6' 5" gay pornstar named "Nightstick" for a cellmate.
-
I believe in CAT power...at least THIS cat. (other cats, actually not so much)
This guy knows how to get stuff done.
...and his little punk-ass problem will, no doubt, be very popular at his new dorm.
Keep pushin', dude.

That last line is addressed to the accountants cellmate. :o

Remember Haz that the good Lord is always with you. You'll come out the other side of this, and you'll be stronger for it. God bless.
-
Haz,
Glad you had some positive results. Good luck and best wishes for continued good news.
-
Another update.
We have been working day, night and weekends trying to find the extent of damage. Right now it looks to be in the 30K area!
Got my guns back, charges dismissed on the 'repeat stalker' offense.
Last Wed went to a bond hearing and got his bonds upheld so that is good.
This Friday (11:30) we have an appointment with the state attorney to see "if there is sufficient reason to pursue" the case. So once again Joyce ( The GF and my blessing) and I will need to put together the case for the prosecution (Yeah, I thought it was their job, too) so the next several days will be busy fighting with Credit Card companies for records and proving our case to present to the State Attorney.
Life goes on and I still feel blessed by y'alls friendship. I WILL make this SOB pay the max so I have to stay on top of it as the cops and such do not feel so inclined. (They were SURPRISED we went to the bond hearing AND got my charges dismissed and guns returned!). So we have to try and rebuild the company books, keep it running, get cash flowing, etc, etc, etc. VERY BUSY.
Patty (my sales managers wife) is still not doing well.. Lots of pain and no answers from the Doctor! Keep her in your prayers, please.
More soon,
Haz
-
Glad to know you are staying with it. You are made of tuff stuff Brother....
You have lots of us who are with you in spirit and mind.. :-*
-
Sorry I haven't been able to post until now. I've been having problems of my own (herniated disc). I can't tell you how happy I am that your situation is being resolved. Keep your chin up and know you and your manager's spouse are in my prayers. With a little luck and a lot of blessings, we'll all turn this year around for the better. :)

You AND Patty hang in there. We are thinking of you.

Haz -
I cannot imagine what you have been going through, and the mountain in front of you seems huge. We can only help carry the load by helping to carry you, my friend, so hang tough, and may God guide you in your dealings with the so-called "public" officials trying to get them to do their jobs, and help Kevin and Patty deal with the pain and doctors..
Anything you need, just ask.
Path
-
Haz,
Sounds like positive moves for the most part, but that is the view from the outside looking in. Let Patty know that she has a huge family out here with her, just as we are with you, Joyce and Haz Jr!
I know we have all been promised much more, especially by the likes of President BHO, but you are what being an American is all about - Grab your bootstraps, tug hard and make things better. You are doing your job in the face of the worst your business could face. I can't begin to know all and the extent of the emotions you are feeling, but I believe you have the strength to endure (you and the answer to all of our prayers combined).
Hang in there!
Mike

Haz,
Glad to hear things are looking up. Keep pushing ahead and good things will come.
Please know we all here at DRTV are here for you and yours.
Stay strong my friend.
Jim
-
Hey Haz, stay strong and push HARD on the cops and the DA. I have BEEN there and DONE that myself, more than twice. Being trusting can really bite you, as you obviously know. Dishonesty is tough to deal with, but dishonesty from those you trust the most is especially tough! It will take a lot more time, a lot more effort and a lot more energy, as if a small business owner has any to spare, to see this through. I know you will and you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Hang tough and I hope you get "justice" out of the legal system.

I just caught this thread and while the subject matter is grave, I just about fell off my chair when I read this ;D
Haz,
You are a thoughtful and a very open and trusting person. That is to your credit. Unfortunately, sometimes people will take advantage for their own gain. Don't let that change who you are. Maybe a little more of Pres. Regan's "Trust but verify", but this world is lacking in folks with both your character and drive. I have no doubt that you will overcome.
-
Haz, my brother, you and Patty both continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. You are to be commended for doing the authorities' jobs for them. Most people would just throw up their hands and say "f*** it!!". Make that sucker pay. Things WILL get better. Sometimes GOOD things happen to good people, and you are good people. Even when it looks darkest, remember my motto "noolis bastardis carborundum" (translation at left).
Take care, dude, and may God richly bless you!!
Tom

We all know that cats have 9 lives...sooooooooooooooooo go forth,kick ass and take names bro.OHHHHHHHHHHHHH you take care and get better. ;D

Update.....
Had a meeting with the State attorney and the Detective. They had only found $12,500.00 worth of fraud. We supplied them with MUCH more. The State Attorney has decided that they will prosecute (YAAAAAAY!!!). They think he will probably plead out. Jail time is unknown (personally I would have no problem throwing the switch if he got a death sentence) but restitution will be part of it (of course I'll never see any as the guy is broke).
At least right now he is starting his third week in jail as we move through the system.
Thanks for the support, y'all. Hopefully I will have time to get back on the forum in the next couple of weeks.
Patty continues to heal but is in real pain (and she's no wimp).

Good to hear things are moving forward. The good light of the universe surrounds you. Keep the faith Brother!

I'm not sure about FL law, but most most states they have a level system to where X ammount is a low level felony, Y ammount is a high level felony... etc etc. I'm sure thats over the the limit for the low level, and I'd bet its just over the ammount for the next step up.
The bad part is white coller crime does almost no time in the pen.

I have a novel idea that might take care of the issue of punishment and restitution all in one fell swoop!! Expanding on your idea of the death penalty, let's start a lottery. $10 a ticket and the winner gets to flip the switch!! I'm quite sure there are enough of us on here who would buy into that to come pretty darned close to taking care of the restitution. ;D
-
Glad to hear that despite pain Patty is healing.
Did the accountant have other clients ? If so he probably ripped them off as well.
Glad to hear you are making progress, try to get filing false police reports added on for the problems he caused you and your GF.
-
Good to hear things are moving forward. I hope you will se at least part of the lost money again. Best wishes to Patty from me.

That sounds like a winner to me. Especially if he has room on his lap for some people who screwed me over.

God bless you Haz, praying for you and Patty, keep the faith and Pm or e mail if there is something I might be able to contribute too.
I hope your accountant is having wonderous new experiences in the jail shower ;)
-
That's just wrong M'ette....but funny!
-
I know... but I just couldn't resist.. ;D
-
Tell Patty that people far and wide have her in our thoughts and prayers.
I'm glad you can see the light at the end of the tunnel on your financial situation. If you have to stomp on a rat to get there, well it sucks to be him.
-
that one is getting right clicked and saved...
-
Just caught this thread. Love this site but don't post all that often. Good folks here. Sorry to hear all of that trouble, Haz. I have always enjoyed your posts, and your obvious good humor. I wish you and your friend Patty the best. You are both in my prayers. God Bless!
Perhaps when things slow down you can describe how you handled them taking your guns. I am sure you had no choice but I know I would not have handled that well. I would love to hear your story.

Great job Teresa :)
-
Was wondering where you were? Now I know. May GOD bless and keep you and Patty strong. I know the Cat will overcome !
-
Quickie (always the best ;) )
Patty is healing well and her pain level is down. She had a staff infection that they have under control now. The wound seems to close 2 cm or so every time she goes to have the dressing changed ( 2 x per week ) so that is good! But it is still big enough for me to stick my hand in so it will be awhile yet.
On my front, in general my creditors are working with me so that is good. Business is looking up and some new opportunities are on the horizon so the "light" is more than a 15 watt bulb! ;D
Teresa, I need to talk to Dan. Can you send me his ph#?
Later I will have some GREAT stories about my guns and the cops as well as the 'justice' system.
Luv y'all,
Haz

Great to hear from you and thanks for the up date!

And more good wishes to Patty for continued recovery.

Hope to hear from you soon Haz, let Patty know there are many that have her and you in our prayers.
Let me know if you need a Florida backup.

Latest...
First, I was bushwhacked by a bunch of DRTV folks with a gift that I still can not comprehend! Rangers Ho!
Next, good and bad.....
Good first. Business is picking up and I have 2 deals I am working on that could be HUGE! (been there and done that, never got the deals before so....), but business IS picking up.
Bad news...
I had thought it was around 30K after a quick look. We passed 15 k onto the cops to make the bust (easy finds). We just got thought the small account and it is 9K (so 24K total) and we have the lager (more active) account to go through so who knows where the real number is right now.
He has his arraignment on 3/2 so we have to get through everything this week to give to the DA (meaning I will still be busy for a while). BTW he has submitted a plea saying he has an 'alibi' (no idea what it might be).
Still gotta give ya the funnies on my turning in (some of) my guns (got them back) and how CLUELESS the deputy was on unloading (almost shot me/himself). Funny now but still sad as to the thought that this is a Sheriff!
Once more....
Y'all are the most honest, caring, GOOD people there could ever be. My GF was floored by y'all. She just did not understand when I said that DRTV was full of good people that I would back anytime for any reason. I think she understands now.
God bless each and every one of you.
The Cat WILL rise like a Phoenix from the ashes, better, stronger and y'all are a BIG part of that!
-
Good to hear that things are improving. Just wondering what alibi your accountant has. "No Your Honor, it wasn't me with my fingers in the cookie jar, it was my doppelganger." ???
Best to Patty as well.

New to this forum, just signed up for the giveaways, have found an astonishing group of folks. Haz, best to you, sounds like your persaverance will pay off. Never, never never trust a SHERIFF or LEO with guns, they don't have a clue....
I hope everyone who reads this thread will take the lesson being given here and that lesson is nobody can take care of YOU like YOU can. Be careful with your credit, watch it like a hawk, in this day and age it is one of the most important things to you. We used to have to watch out for petty theft, now they are PREDATORS.
Again, Haz, best to you and yours!
-
Haz, good to hear things are looking better.
Yes, a lot times LEOs and guns don't mix too well. I worked for Albuquerque PD as a civilian in the armory, taking care of their firearms, pistols (S&W Model 10) and Remington 870s. The LEOs should have been sent to jail for child abuse. I would find candy wrappers in the shotgun barrels and the pistols were on their way to becoming junk.

The 'gun' story (yer gonna love this ::) )
Deputy Dog (Sheriff) shows up with retraining order. Asks if I have guns (they are mentioned as cause in the restraining order) so I say "yep".
He says "Gotta turn 'em in. You can do it or you can give 'em to me now"
I figure now is easier so I say "Sure, got 'em right here" (shocks the hell out of him).
He says "I need to come in and get them"
I say "OK"
I point to the place where my wallet and daily pocket stuff is piled on top on a cabinet in in the living room. He walks over and can't find my KelTek in the pile! So I point it out to him (BTW my Redhawk 45 was IN the same cabinet. ;D ).
He picks it up and starts to fumble with it. First he starts to jack the slide (mag still in) and gets a round stuck in the port! Then he figures that is not right so he starts fumbling some more!
I say "STOP! Yer gonna shoot some one. Please let me do that." He reluctantly hands it over and lets me unload it (while he stands back with his hand on his weapon).
"Gee, that's a real little 22 ya got there. Sorta hard to operate." says the idjit.
Says I "It's a .380 and works like and semi-auto"
".380!!!" says he. "Well where is the other one ya said ya had?"
I take him to my bed room where my .357 SA is under my pillow and point it out to him.
He grabs it and says "Real pretty gun ya got there!"
I say "Yep, and it's about 50 years old so ya better take real good care of it".
"50 years!" says he "Wow, you take good care of yer guns".
This is where more fun ensues.
He tries to swing the cylinder out by force and keeps looking for a button to push to help him.
I say "It's a single action, you know, a cowboy gun." (knowing he has NO CLUE as to what that means"
I let him fumble a bit more then "PLEASE! you have to open the gate and half cock it to rotate the cylinder to unload it" (clear directions for anyone that knows more that which end the bullets come out).
BTW at his feet under the bed is a fully loaded AR! :D AND my Ishy is (loaded) and sitting behind the bedroom door (the dip stick didn't even notice it!)
We step into the living room where he starts to try and follow my directions. He is playing with the gate and trying to turn the cylinder and I keep saying "I can do that, be careful, etc".
BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I have a .357 size hole in my ceiling and a REAL surprised looking cop on my hands. (now what do I do??)
First I disarm him. (He meekly gives it up). I then proceed to unload it and set it aside.
He finally starts to stammer about reports and yada yada. I say "Hold on, let's see how bad it is" I get a probe and find that the round had struck a roof beam so I do NOT have a hole in the roof.
"Listen, I don't have a big problem here so let's just forget that happened. You be REAL good to my guns and I'll say 'no harm no foul'. OK?"
He of course readily agrees, we finish the paper work and he leaves (with my guns).
When the smoke had cleared and I could go get them back I went to the evidence locker to pick them up. The clerk says "These must be really valuable guns. The sheriff called me every day to check on them" She then handed me my guns individually wrapped in a cotton cloth.
:D :D
-
R E S P E C T Welcome Back Don't look Ethel . ;D ;D ;D

I would have loved to see a picture of the Sheriff when it went bang ! Dang. That must have been the look of the year !!
Good to hear your getting back on your feet. Hope you land those big deals !
-
Haz, that Deputy Dawg shooting a hole in your ceiling story just made my day. It always amazes me how some people won't ask how to do something, when they don't know how to do it themselves. I recently had a sister-in-law call on me to unload all of her husband's guns, when she put a restraining order on him. He'd told her they were all unloaded, but all 3 were full mag, 1 in the pipe. I also had a neighbor bring over an old S&W 1917 revolver with the hammer cocked on a loaded cylinder. She didn't know how to uncock it and had it that way since her husband had passed 8 years before. She'd stored it in a closet, cocked, in a room where her grandchildren always played. They'd never found it, luckily.

Glad you got your 'Iron" back, Haz. Keep up the good spirits and you will prevail.
I too would have loved to have seen the look on his face...........would hate to be the one doing his laundry though...... ;D
-
Cops shouldn't be allowed to carry or hande guns.
-
Ah'm a TRAINED expert, BANG ! Duh!
-
Barney Fife is alive and up to his old tricks.
-
Sadly, thats not really shocking...If your LEOs there are anything like they are here, the safest place to be is in their sights.

Paperwork. Fill out the paperwork. That's your leverage.
You had your hearing damaged, right? That's worth a bunch (not saying you'll actually go through with it, of course).
Now get their departmental legal representation involved and....voila', everyone is suprisingly focused on helping you with your case.
Not to mention the hassle factor they can employ on the neer'-do-well. This will go a long way towards him paying something back....if the LEO's make it a personal thing with him.
And yes, my children get more training in one day at USSA then Tulsa County gives it's officers in total. Remember...even though they carry a gun, many/most are not gun people. They become police officers for other reasons than guns.......

Excellent points, Rastus, but Haz gave his word and Barney lived up to his end of the agreement.
BTW - I am open for adoptions, Dad. I have always wanted to get trained at USSA. PULeeeeeeese? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good to see you back Haz. Remember, the squeaky wheel get the oil. Keep hammering at that bastard and you will get justice. Loved the story about the deputy. You really can't make stuff like that up. Sounds like my two kids have more training than that deputy.
-
Sorry to hear about the hole Haz.
One of the biggest worries that LEO's had before Ohio got CCW is not knowing how to clear handguns of accident victims. I was worried too...worried they'd shoot someone!

(clear directions for anyone that knows more that which end the bullets come out).
Haz I think you might be giving Deputy Asshat too much credit by assuming he KNOWS which end the bullets come out.

LOL, got that right ;D He's damn lucky he didn't shot himself..
Haz glad your back!!

Actually had a female LEO tell me that in almost those exact terms at the range once, while she was practicing for her qualification shoot the next week.
-
Well, the way things have been going, Haz, you should consider yourself lucky that the guy didn't shoot you with your own gun. That would be a hell of an investigation...and I'll bet the story wouldn't be straight.
I hope it all keeps going better and better for you.
-
Sounds like our law enforcement here.. LOL
That is classic.... ;D
-
hey cat,next time you get disarmed let me know,i'll send my brother over,he's with the hillsborough sherrifs dept to show the pinellas man how to do it,he's just across gandy there lmao.
-
Haz, I know that you are starting the downhill slide of everthing that has happened to you lately, just wanted to wish you and Patty the best while everything gets sorted out. Plus it's nice to have you're comments back on the threads, there have been a lot of CLIP comments that have gone unanswered around here. ;D

Give him my email address and tell him I'll buy the beer! Somebody NEEDS to teach these yahoos about guns!

Color looks good but he needs big snow shoe feet and a fluffy tail.
THE CAT is a Maine Coon. ;)

I have been lurking here for some time and have always enjoyed reading your posts Haz. However, I found it especially interesting that when so many people were telling you that they were praying for you, you graciously thanked them, but asked that their prayers be sent for your partners' wife as well. That shows why you will come out of this situation a survivor, and more than likely, better off than before. Thank you for showing the true meaning of "Grace Under Fire."
On a different note, I have a cousin who is a Pinellas Co. Deputy, and knowing him, it would not surprise me if he was the knucklehead who ventilated your house. So, just in case; sorry about that, and I will give him a nice whack on the back of the head the next time I see him! ;D
The Best to You.

Shiv..
That was nice of you to say that . Haz is a good guy that's for definite sure..
But Down Range is packed full of "the good 'uns" Looks like you will fit in beautiful with all of them. :-*

Haz, do you have a Patty update on how she's doing?
-
Well thank you! She is healing well now and is in MUCH less pain. She went out for a couple of hours just this past weekend and did some walking around (first time in months).
So all in all things look good. ;D
-
Glad to hear it.
