It gets wilder:
I was keeping watch on the building 24/7 until there was a legal dispute between lawyers about ownership of a major fixture of the building - an automotive spray paint booth installed to the building with permits & integrated hvac/sprinklers etc. I was keeping watch because the bailiffs that evicted him told us he said he was taking it. The contract for purchase and sale and building drawings show it’s owned by my friend, the new building owner.
Once in dispute our lawyer said keeping watch was unnecessary as he’d be foolish to steal it. He stole it.
Rough guess on replacement cost is $150k. Plus expert installers say it can’t likely be setup and made to work properly elsewhere - they’re one time setup things. And it takes a year to get a permit for one.
So we reported the theft to the police, which the thief was PISSED about because he’s a police contractor. Do the crime, get embarrassed IMO.
Now there will be separate lawsuits to pursue replacement cost + lost rent in that unit for a year while we wait for it - could be $225-250k for that plus the other $100-300k we have to sue for other building damages and lost rent etc.
And he’s refusing to pay the rest of September’s rent or any of October’s because he paid bailiffs money he owed for other things to states that should cover it ??? So in goes another court application to evict him a second time asap for non payment of rent. (Court order says we have to go through the courts, not simply bailiffs again.)
Insane. My layman’s diagnosis is that this guy is delusional if he believes he’s in the right on any of these things; especially given the fact that we have written evidence documented in black and white on e v e r y t h i n g.
Just another day in the life of dealing with the biggest scumbag ever.

Lol the guys a fruitcake. Massive ego, a problem with authority of any sort and a sense of entitlement that knows no bounds. The problem with people like him is that they're their own boss. Everyone else around him should worship at his feet and does what he says when he says it. Any attempt to interfere with doing as he pleases is looked at as an attack by his subordinates.
Perhaps reporting him to the media will annoy him further with comical results?
Maybe. Depends what else he does if it's newsworthy.
I could hear them dismantling something from the building today and phoned the police but they won't attend because they say it's a civil matter and we have to just allow them to do whatever they're doing inside the building that they have legal court ordered access to until they're out, then assess all damages and sue them for it later. So crazy the police cannot attend for property damage/theft in progress - they say it's a civil matter and a matter for the courts, not them enforcing criminal code. Absolutely nuts that you have to allow however much damage they feel like doing to occur and then try to recover the money later vs. put a stop to it.

We're expecting the same warm fuzzies when we find out where my friend's stolen paint booth was moved to. It'll be reported to whichever city it's in - unpermitted paint booths are a big no no due to aerosol toxins etc.
It'll be a warm fuzzy feeling to have it shut down. Then he can spend a quarter million on a new one while waiting a year for a permit/go get a job at Maaco.

They waited until I was no longer guarding the building overnight and was off site for 1.5 weeks helping my brother renovate his place, then dismantled it, loaded the parts onto flat deck trailers and towed them away with their pickup trucks.
Lawsuits are in the works with several legalese versions of theft alleged. A judge will have to sort it all out. Hopefully we’re able to get at Least $195K/actual replacement cost for comparable equipment + maybe lost rent while we wait for a permit to have one installed - which can take a year.
+ other lawsuits. All in all if we were able to recover everything it’s probably 3/4 of a Million dollars. Realistically we hope to at least get half that as it’s not crystal clear whether lost rent is recoverable or not - up to a judge and might even depend on the thief’s behaviour in court as to how harshly a judge may punish him for property damage, theft, unlawful enrichment, breach of contract etc etc etc + all the lost rent he’s caused by both his actions and inactions.

Yep. It’ll all end eventually. I’m no longer very stressed by it. It is what it is and we’ll see him in court.. over and over.
I’m actually a bit relieved that he stole the paint booth as it makes my defender against his breach of court order allegations so much stronger. He had a court order saying I couldn’t be in his leased units - I never was - but claims I breached it by being in the parking lot.
(along with several lies) Now that he did commit the theft, it’s very easy to justify to the judge why I was staying overnight to deter it - it was effective up until the time I left the property at the advice of our litigator.
