    You're not in the wrong at all, dude.

    You handled it a lot better than I would have. After two weeks, I would have thrown him a beating.

      I think some of us OS goons need to head to your area and have a little chat with Sam, because Sammy boy deserves a beat down.

        You're extraordinarily patient.

        Also, I don't believe for a second that one of his employees ran off with the blueprints.

          Yep, I'm too patient and too forgiving and easy-going as well. But when it comes to business and my property (in this case, blueprints) this guy would have had a very small window.

          Don't second-guess your own expectations for even a moment in this case. This 'man' should have contacted you within one week to at least give you a status update. After he called back the first time when the sheriff got involved, I would have declared to him that his lack of communication is unacceptable, losing track of the blueprints is unacceptable and he needs to produce them or a check in 48 hours or I will be pursuing legal avenues.

          This guy sounds like a real piece of work.

          Sick Chase on him.

            For the poll questions "Did you handle this properly?" The answer is no you did not.

              Yeah you handled it a lot better then I would. I would have flipped my **** if he did that to me.

                  The guy has been completely unprofessional in the entire matter and as someone mentioned, if he conducts all of his business that way, he wont be in business too long.

                  You weren't in the wrong at all. In business you can't conduct yourself like that, over and again.

                    Looking at the poll results it appears "Sam" has an OS account.

                          I'd call him and tell him that he has 24 hours to get you your blue prints or a check and if he doesn't respond that I'm contacting the BBB or whoever you need to. This guy has probably had it coming for a long time anyway.

                          Also, if you think he's going to start bad mouthing you, then you've got to beat him to the punch. Because if he's starts talking bad about you first, then you say something bad about him (even if it is the truth) then you look bitter. You've got to get the jump on him.

                            You are much more patient than me. I'd been at somebody's front step on day eight haha.

                                Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

                                Sometimes even when when you believe you are right with your actions, it still feels good to have that reassurance you were not acting out of line, especially from "strangers" since you know they have no reason to lie.

                                A big reason I tried to remain patient and be as civil is possible is because of the businesses. It may not make a whole lot of sense to everyone, but in a smaller community, even if it may or may have a huge impact on my reputation, I don't like to create enemies or get "ugly" with someone until absolutely necessary.

                                In this guys mind, I am completely in the wrong for "threatening" him with these legal actions. And regardless of what, I'm sure he'll lip off to people and tell his side of the story, therefore making me look like some bullying idiot that is hard to work with. Sadly, I probably won't even get a chance to let the truth be known if this is what will happen, or has already happened.

                                So that's what I try to avoid if all possible (I save my idiocy for things like OS and Twitter)when dealing with people locally.

                                It's just a bad deal all around, but you can only tolerate something like this for so long before you either write it off or just man up get ugly about it.
