I was working at 2 different restaurants when a man recruited me to do sales. It wasn't anything I was use to and food was my passion but the money was good so I gave it a shot.
The guy that hired me, mentored me, so we talked a lot. I was explaining the differences in Japanese steel and how amazing their knives are, so I offered to LOAN him my knife roll.
Working 3 jobs, father in and out of the hospital, and recovering alcoholic, it all was too much and it broke me. I quit the job and didn't ask for my stuff back right away. I couldn't handle the battle I knew it would be with him to get it back. His shitty, used car salesmen personality, just made me think he would continue to act like I gave them to him. A joke he made when I loaned them, which I corrected and was astonished he even said it. Should of been a flag but, was already overwhelmed and intimidated.
Fast forward a few years to today. My Dad finally passed and now, I'm trying to get my knife roll back that has some he gave me. I contacted this man and he's pretending he doesn't know who or what I'm talking about.
State of Texas, over $2500 in value, but was loaned ( documented ) and he has been in possession for a minimum of 5 years. I'm sure I don't have much of a case but it really isn't about the money. I just want them back.
I explained my situation, why I never contacted him because of my downward spiral and he is acting like he doesn't know who or what I'm talking about. Ive been blocked on all platforms. He was the regional manager for the company at the time. I've gone through his LinkedIn. The Chamber of Commerce seat he claims to hold, contacted them and they said he doesn't and never has held any seat with them and this isn't the first time they've had a call about him.
Contacted his current employer and got through to the legal department. Gave them minimal details, they said he was finishing his 2 weeks with them and closing out his current accounts.
I'm trying to handle this with the logistics of my fathers funeral and the emotions of losing a loved one. I apologize if my grammar or sentences don't make sense. I'm shaking with anger right now.
