| I had a $10,000 package stolen using only its tracking number Posted: 25 Feb 2020 07:33 AM PST Im in PA, the thief is in Michigan, and the shipper was DHL international. My total cost for the packages was just over $10k with a retail value of close to $30k, so not just a typical amazon package unfortunately. I have a company that buys from china and sells in the USA, pretty basic. Well i had a package that was supposed to be delivered on 1.22.20 but only received part of it. Me and the DHL guy know each other well as I constantly have packages coming, and he even said to me hey we had more boxes (one singular shipment) with your name but they were redirected and I thought no big deal must be a small mistake. It turns out someone got ahold of my tracking number and rerouted the delivery to their own address. This person doesnt even know my name or phone number or address so idk how this was even allowed by DHL. I have been trying to contact this person (thief) for a month with no answers (i have his address, name, phone etc.), and he has also ignored the chinese supplier. The chinese supplier is a good friend of mine and already agreed to remake the order so Im not at a total loss other than having no product to sell for a month. DHL has tried to recover the packages for almost a month now with no answer from him. Im 99% sure what happened was my supplier gave him my tracking number on accident and thats how he got it. After speaking with DHL i can confirm "my legal name" was on the package up until he signed for it (he signed with his last name, not mine, so the names didnt even match, which i believe to be another fault by DHL), and DHL also confirmed the person called and made a change of address. Luckily this isnt something that is crippling my business. Im only 21 and have never been involved with any legal stuff but I am pretty upset with this guy. DHL is basically giving up trying to recover the package after tomorrow, and they have expressed my support if I decide to press charged against this guy which I will gladly do. Im not certain of the charges but i assume mail fraud, theft/possession of stolen goods over a certain amount are on the table. Where should I start? Call his local PD? Do i call my PD? Do i need a lawyer? What kind of lawyer would handle this? Is it even worth my time doing this? Im not looking to get any money back going this legal route, im mostly just looking to put this guy in jail tbh. Thanks to everyone in advance update: ive called both PDs, just waiting now. I really appreciate the help. I cant promise ill leave this post up just because the notifications are starting to get crazy and people are commenting on my older posts (nothing bad) and it just freaks me out lol edit: yes the shipment was bongs. No bongs are not illegal. Yes I know Tommy Chong went to jail for them. The laws have changed since 2003. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 06:30 AM PST As the title state, I was told by a production manager(not supervisor) to get a key for someone else's lock, from his office and remove the lock. (I work nights.) This lock was placed on a valve past the pump for a bulk chemical (toluene) tank. I did not directly tell the manager no, but I did not take the lock off. I instead called the person who's lock was on this valve, and they came in to remove this lock. The next day, there was a spill from the same tank that had the valve locked out. This valve was in no way a cause for the spill, as it was the pump that gave way and caused the spill. Rumors began to fly out of control that it was the person's, who's lock was on the tank, fault. This was untrue, and worried about rumours and misinformation I sent an email to the safety manager and the plant manager. This was to cover myself and also to inform them that I was asked to remove someone else's LOTO lock, which is illegal to do so. In my opinion it was as if I was a scapegoat in case something went wrong. (bit of a stretch but possible) Today I was pulled into the office and the production manager, who asked me to take this lock off, tried to give me several reasons why it was justified for him to ask me to do that. He also explained that the LOTO lock was being used in place of a transition lock (again, illegal) and that there was no permit required for the lock. I insisted he was wrong and that it was still illegal regardless of the circumstances. He was very obviously mad that I went over his head; and made it very clear verbally, that he was. I explained that I had no interest in getting anyone in trouble, but that I had to explain the situation to cover myself. The reason I am asking this question is because the people that are in charge of this place are known by 80% of the production employees as being corrupt. Especially the HR manager. She is the one who hired the production manager mentioned here. I am concerned that they can get away with blatant retaliation either soon, or a few months down the road, for me putting the managers job at risk. What should I do here in terms of legality?

| GrubHub listed my restaurant without permission. Posted: 25 Feb 2020 09:03 AM PST I own a small Diner I inherited from my family. after several calls, I have refused GrubHub services but out of nowhere delivery drivers are showing up and taking orders and my restaurant has been listed on their application along with my menu and I had absolutely nothing to do with that. Wondering if anyone here is that a similar issue. I'm located in Amherst Ohio [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord is using security cameras to harass my boyfriend (Massachusetts) Posted: 25 Feb 2020 02:04 AM PST My boyfriend lives in an apartment complex that was formerly a small hotel and so there is an office on the first floor where the landlord sits and watches the front door basically everyday from 8-12. They also have security cameras in the front entrance and back entrance. The problem is the landlord has been using the cameras as sort of a weapon against him by saying that she "knows" I'm living there, regardless of the fact I have my own place and there's literally no room for me to live there because I have a 5 year old dependant and it's a studio. I do go in the morning to set up his meds and stuff before I bring my 5 year old to school because he has some mental issues that make it difficult for him to remember things, including taking meds and stuff. He had a visiting nurse who was doing this before me, but they closed his case because his doctor stopped accepting his insurance and they needed a referral to continue care. She is constantly coming up and starting in the hallway while I'm here just listening, which I've caught her doing a few times, as well as bringing him into the office repeatedly (4 times in the last month) and telling him she's going to evict him because he's violating the lease. One time a few weeks ago I came in around 10:30 in the morning and we were having some personal time when she suddenly starts banging on the door like the FBI or something. At that point we stayed quiet expecting her to leave, but instead she started opening the front door. My boyfriend preceded to yell at her and she told him that she was there for a "scheduled" inspection, except he was never notified. She stood outside the door and waited for us to dress, then proceeded to barge in and inspect the apartment. None of my belongings were there and I even took photos after she left because I had no idea what she was even inspecting and wanted to be safe so I have proof none of my stuff is there. My question here is what can be done about this? Can we file harassment charges? She's threatening to evict him over this and has even brought in her supervisor (the house is owned by the Catholic diocese) to have a meeting with my boyfriend threatening to evict him.

| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 10:53 AM PST Hi, sorry for the confusing title. My daughter is currently doing a semester abroad in San Francisco. She is Dutch. She and another Dutch girl are sharing a two bedroom apartment. They each have their own bedroom and share the kitchen and bathroom. The landlord lives in a different unit downstairs. Apparently, the landlord has another room in the building somewhere, which she has just rented out to someone else. She has informed my daughter and her roommate that this third tenant will also be allowed access to their kitchen and bathroom! My daughter and her new roommate are both foreign exchange students, and are very uncomfortable with this arrangement, but they have no idea what the laws are or if they have any recourse. They are in the middle of a semester and don't really have any idea how to navigate this or what their options are. Any help is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Please help, Debt collecter got judgement without subpoena? Posted: 25 Feb 2020 05:52 AM PST Hi guys, I woke up to a weird predicament and I'm not sure what to do, what my options are, etc. This morning I woke up and saw an email saying my account was overdrawn, this was odd as I don't really have much but I'm certainly not over spending, I don't have a job currently I'm just focusing on school. I checked my account and both were -500 dollars. It looks like there's a "deposit hold" of 507.96 on both my checking and savings, and a legal fee of 125 on my checking. I immediately called the bank and asked what happened, and they gave me a phone number that was linked to the company who collected, but said I had to call back once the legal team came in for more info. I googled the company but didn't recognize it, then when I called I did recognize the company. Back in October of 2019 this same company (will leave unnamed) randomly tried to take me to court over a 1000 dollar debt, I informed them this debt was not from me but from an ex spouse, but they didn't care, so I tried to work with them on payment amount and ways to pay, but they refused and said full amount or well take you to court, so I scrounged up and paid. They informed me after they had another debt of ~450 in my name, but when I asked for more info or tried to negotiate they said it wasn't ready yet and they would inform me when it was. I never heard ANYTHING else from them. Fast forward to now and I'm screwed. I don't know what to do, I'm freaking out, don't know what my options are, I've gone through all my mail in my head (I don't get much) and I know for a fact I never received anything. I don't know if they garnished both of my account or if my savings tried to do overdraft protection. Please help, I'm freaking out. Sorry for formatting, mobile user. TL;DR: company garnished my account but I never received subpoena [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 08:58 AM PST I went to the DMV today and was unable to renew my license because someone in Pennsylvania that has the same name and birthday as me committed some sort of crime that prevents them from either having a license or renewing their license. I am in Florida. I called Pennsylvania and they couldn't go into too much detail about the nature of the crime or whatever. The problem is that now I have to mail all this proof of my identity that will take weeks and I am driving with an expired license and my new insurance is asking me for a copy of my license or they will drop me from the insurance. What can I do to prevent this from happening again in the future and is there a way to get a temporary license so i won't go to jail if I get pulled over and I won't lose my license?

| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 01:04 PM PST I am 14, my brother is 12. My parents have been separated for over a year now (my mother left my father) and originally, we divided the time that I spent with my father and the time that I spent with my mother equally. Over the last year, that time got less and less with my father and more and more with my mother (my father was a real asshole to my mother, brother, and me) and near the end of December last year, my brother and I decided to completely live with my mom. Today, I had an argument over text with my dad. I tried to tell him that I want to be on friendly terms with him, but my brother and I couldn't live with him. He did not have any of that, and said some things which led my mother to believe that he is going to court to fight for custody of me and my brother. If he does go to court to fight for us, what will happen? I am clueless when it comes to legal things (I'm only 14) and wonder what rights I have in this situation (if any). I live in Ontario.

| Posted: 24 Feb 2020 06:26 PM PST This book is already on the bestseller's list. An editor who turned down my proposal in condescending language posted on her FB page of nearly 40K followers a photo with caption that is the main idea to my pitch. That idea has now been appropriated by at least 5 other writers who follow her and is circulating in the genre in which I write. No one was writing on this for the 2 1/2 years I held the idea without putting it out online. The editor now has a contract with a large publisher to write on this idea as a book and continues to post content that is the same concept as that of my proposal. My agent feigned ignorance that these concepts were similar, and the junior agent admitted it was the same and was said 'sorry you were hurt' but that she didn't have time to chat and that she 'didn't think it was intentional'. Both agents have all but ghosted me since this happened in August. My contract says I cannot terminate until a minimum of two years have passed. Ideas? Advice? I am located in the U.S. and am saying I have been plagiarized twice. I also don't believe my agent is really pitching my idea any longer, because he's peeved that I had the gall to say something.

| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 09:00 AM PST I work as an EMT in a fire station and was struck in the head yesterday by a fire ladder weighing several hundred pounds. The ladder was positioned in the station where it shouldn't have been (leaning precariously against a wall near an ambulance), slid out and smacked me on the back of the head. I didn't lose consciousness but I felt disoriented enough that my coworkers decided it was a good idea to go to the hospital. They did a CT scan and didn't find anything major but suspected a minor concussion. I was advised to get plenty of rest, to avoid driving and to avoid intense physical activity and situations where head injuries are likely. (I should note that a big part of my job involves driving an ambulance, physically moving, transporting and treating patients). This was all about 18 hours ago. About an hour ago, I got a text from one of my supervisors saying that they need me in early at 4:30 am tomorrow. I'm really surprised by this and I'm not sure if he's even aware of what happened. As per worker's comp or any other labor laws, am I entitled to take a few days off until I feel well enough to work, or at least until I am cleared to work by a physician? [link] [comments]  |
| Hit and run, perp ran, police won't investigate Posted: 25 Feb 2020 07:30 AM PST I was the victim of a hit and run on Saturday night. A guy plowed into my car from the side and pushed my car into another car, so there were three vehicles involved. My vehicle and the third vehicle were unoccupied. That third vehicle has minimal damage. Mine is totaled. The driver ran and the police haven't caught him. There are cameras on the property but the video is from far away and you can't positively ID anyone in it. A detective came and looked at the footage on Monday. The people here in this apartment complex know who the guy is but no one is willing to talk, except one woman who gave me a tidbit of information. I called the detective's number that was on the incident report and the line was disconnected. I called the police department directly and was told that 1) They don't investigate hit and runs and 2) The detective who went and got the footage probably didn't know they don't investigate hit and runs and 3) That same detective is off today. So what do I do now? I used to have a paid off, 2015 model car and now I have nothing. My insurance guy said I'll probably only get the salvage value. The guy wasn't even the owner of the car he was driving. The car was reported stolen shortly after the accident. I want to offer a reward for the name o f the guy but will that even matter if they don't investigate hit and runs? Will they even arrest him? Can I sue someone? Can I get enough money from someone to buy the same model used car or am I SOL? I have so many questions. [link] [comments]  |
| Teacher at my little sister's school pouring water (in some cases tea) on misbehaving children Posted: 25 Feb 2020 10:52 AM PST EDIT: Location: Hungary It's a small school, with grades only 1-4 so kids at around the age of 6/7 to 10/11 years old. One of the teachers is said to pour water or whatever she has at the moment, so in some cases evet tea on kids who aren't bahaving properly. This was recently brought to the attention of the school's administration (it's a small school and the administration is at a bigger school along with some of the other small schools in the sorounding villages) and hopefully will have consequences, but I'm curious as to wether may be against human rights or anything simalar, but I don't know what excatly to look at.

| Georgia - State has legal "use-it-or-lose-it" PTO but employer won't grant time off. Posted: 25 Feb 2020 11:49 AM PST As part of my agreed upon compensation I have accrudd over 80 hours of PTO that will reset on April 1st. For the past 12 weeks I have attempted to use this time, each time being denied, the company citing "staffing deficiencies" as the reason. In Georgia, use it or lose it policies are legal, but are there any protections for employees when the PTO is being overtly withheld so that the employee is forced to lose it? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 11:58 AM PST My wife and I have been separated for three months prior to me starting to date someone new. It wasn't serious and eventually, we broke up a few months later. I paid for a flight to Denver for then my current girlfriend and I for a few days. The credit card that I used does have my ex-wife as an authorized user of the card. Somehow she was able to contact Delta and they provided her the information regarding the passengers of the flight. I was not aware that Delta could just freely give out that kind of information. Now my Ex-Wife is changing our divorce reasoning to "Adultery" even though we both agreed to legally separate. So instead of the amicable divorce and splitting the house, custody, debts, and finances. My Ex-Wife is suing for full custody, full ownership of the home, alimony and me to pay 100% of any mutual debts. Do I have anything here? My name is on the credit card and while she is an authorized user I find it hard to believe that Delta would just give out this kind of information freely especially when they have no way of knowing she is a user of the card or not and if they do then that is completely absurd.

| Teacher displaying political propaganda in classroom Posted: 25 Feb 2020 06:35 AM PST There's this one teacher at my school who's been VERY adamant about expressing her political views. I don't usually have a problem with expressing political opinions, but this lady takes it on another level. She has a sticker in her classroom that has some derogatory terminology against liberals. I don't have this teacher as I'm asking for a few friends of mine, so I don't remember exactly what it says but I do remember it was blatantly derogatory against the left. In addition, she has a couple pro-Trump stickers but I don't believe they're derogatory. Also a few years back, she had a "reward" for getting a question correct, which was chopping a Hillary doll's head off via mini guillotine. She however stopped doing this a couple years ago, I'd assume because of complaints. Nonetheless, she still has the stickers. When the parents complained, the principal told her to take them down. She hasn't taken them down, but covered it up with a Spain flag (She's a spanish teacher ironically). They're still there, you just can't see them unless you look really hard. Normally I'd just stay out of this but all my friends in her class are LGBT so they don't really feel too comfortable. When my friend (who's a male) wore makeup to school, she basically ignored him. She's also made a point to make sure everyone knows she teaches Spanish from Spain, not Mexican spanish. I don't think this qualifies as being racist, but inferring her views on immigration, are not a good look. I don't know if there's anything me or any of my friends can do but if there is what should I do? I live in New York State btw (Long Island) [link] [comments]  |
| Boss Threatening to Fire Me If I Tell Co-Workers I Gave Two Weeks Notice Posted: 25 Feb 2020 12:00 PM PST I got a job that is an all around upgrade for me and gave my two weeks notice at my current work. My boss said that if I tell anyone that I'm leaving she will fire me. I know I'm leaving but I don't want to be fired and I'm also not currently in position to not get paid for two weeks and be ok financially. It's not really a big deal as a few of the co-workers I'm friends with already know I'm leaving but I would like to be able to say bye to others. Should I just wait until my last day to let everyone know or is there some sort of a violation on her part? I'm in California if it matters. [link] [comments]  |
| Attached house next door is being demolished. Who's responsible for adding siding? Posted: 25 Feb 2020 01:05 PM PST I live in a city and so many homes are attached. The one next door to us is being demolished and rebuilt, but will no longer be attached and instead leave a few feet between the buildings. Currently, that means that the part of our home that was attached to theirs is now unfinished. Who would be responsible for adding siding to that? My guess would be us, but I'm not sure.

| School ignoring accommodations Posted: 25 Feb 2020 01:37 PM PST (IL) So I am in grad school and have medical Accommodations that allow for me to miss school due to my health. I was called into a meeting and told today that my only options are to repeat my fall semester due to absences. Absences which I have medical accommodations for. This was not brought up at all last fall at all, I was never spoken to about it and I recently accepted an internship in another state for the summer. I'm supposed to graduate in a few months and now I'm told I have to repeat. My grades are all A's and B's and when I brought this up I was told that it didn't matter. I've had issues with this teacher before ignoring my accommodations. When I brought it up in this meeting I was told that I should get my health in check then come back. This is not an option because I'm 120,000 in debt from school and can't work without this degree. I'm wondering if I have any legal options to prevent them from making me repeat the entire semester when my grades are fine. [link] [comments]  |
| My boyfriend won’t delete my nudes Posted: 25 Feb 2020 04:43 AM PST My boyfriend and I just broke up and it was nasty. He still has all of my nude photos in his camera roll and will not delete them. He hasn't shared them, but I don't want it to have to get to that point before I do anything and it makes me sooo uncomfortable knowing that they are there. Is there any legal pathway I can pursue ? I am 21 in South Carolina USA [link] [comments]  |
| I can't find proof of residency for a student loan. Posted: 25 Feb 2020 11:15 AM PST I'm a veteran but I lost my gi bill.

Now that I moved back I can't find a document that says I lived here for a year. They denied I tried to give them. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 10:09 AM PST Ohio. I pay a monthly fee for in/out privileges at a parking garage. I have paid this account on time for over 6 years. Recently they changed the system and have several times been denied exit because of a system error/limitation. This has happened after 5pm and I am told nothing can be done until the office opens (I.e. this past Friday I would be stuck there until Monday morning unless I pay the lost ticket fee to exit). Are they legally able to hold my car and deny exit when I have paid? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2020 12:47 PM PST It's a weird fear of mine that I could unexpectedly die anytime so I want to make sure all my possessions passes on to my BF. I don't own any property. All my stuff are small household items in my storage unit (furniture, collectibles (anime figures, art books, artworks, video games, cookware, etc), and money in my bank. I read online that you need two people as witness to write a will that aren't part of the will. Is that true? Are there any loopholes I should look for? I listed my mother as the emergency contact person for my storage unit with most of my possessions in there. Please r/explainlikeimfive thank you 😂 [link] [comments]  |
| Identity thief opened a bank account in my name- can I withdraw that money? Posted: 25 Feb 2020 01:33 PM PST My identity was stolen a few months ago and frankly it's been a nightmare. I've frozen my accounts, filled out a dozen forms, and spent hours on the phone trying to fix it. Yet still, the bills, loan repayment requests, and credit card application notices keep appearing in my mailbox. The not-me thief even rented a car under my name, then stole it. And the police could not be more indifferent to the situation if they tried. I want to close a bank account that not-me opened, but there's $600 dollars in it, and they said that couldn't close it with the money still in there. They said I could claim it, but that would be fraud, wouldn't it? As much as I'd love to beat not-me at her own game, I don't want to stoop to her level and break the law too. But I'm not sure how else to close the account, and I want it gone. Would it be illegal for me to claim money in a bank account opened by "me" and under my name? I'm in Maryland, USA if that's helpful. [link] [comments]  |
