    Have you ever wondered what happened to some one you used to know
    possibly a girlfriend/ boyfriend or a school friend or best mate who for whatever
    reason you have lost touch with. Would you like to know how they are getting on or would you let the past alone. Or what if...........

    One day I came back from work and ran over him.

    On a serious note.

    How do you find someone who is not on facebook and moved address ? I do a bit of voluntary work and one of the things we do to lend medical equipment or pay for rental of same equipment. One particular person has not returned a piece of equipment, and the company we rented for is coming after us for the full price which is a few grand.

    Any ideas would be really welcome as am totally at a loss.

    First, you kidnap their family. Make a ransom video, demanding the return of the equipment and post it on facebook.

    Oh, they're not on facebook? Sorry, you're screwed

    I like the sound of kidnapping, but would just be this person we helped and screwed us over.

    The Gardaí will probably be next, just wanted to avoid all that hassle, the person resides in a different part of the country.

    Get Liam Neeson on that. He'll sort you out, like in that film.


    Failing that, Gardaí.

    I know who you are. I know what you want. If you are looking to steal from us, I can tell you it's borrowed from someone else. But what I have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you give me back my piece of equipment, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    One evening I was at a function, saw a girl i had a serious crush on years ago. I couldn't sleep or eat for thinking of this girl but she was with my best mate so it could never happen. She moved away saw her now 20 years later.....not a pretty sight.
    Then again age has not improved me either.....

    There was this girl I was mad after in high school. I fancied her for years but everyone else said she was weird looking and slagged me over it. Then one night I actually got to shift her and it was probably the highlight of my life up to that point. She was never really interested in me though and nothing else came of it and I finished school shortly after that and never saw her again.
    Until I opened the paper there last year and now she's a fuckin model.
    Take that, everybody in St Joseph's.

    A good deed never goes unpunished.

    Do you have any details from them ?
    Did they sign anything ( please say yes )
    Associates / family / previous addresses ?

    They must have a PRSI number and be on the HSE records ?

    Do they need a specific medication that you could ask around pharmacies / doctors , leave notes / reminders for them to give it back because it's unlikely they or the HSE can give out personal data




    Perhaps they are known to the Guards ?
    Let's face it you could report them to Guards for breach of contract etc.
    assuming you had them sign something

    Yes it could be an honest mistake, but one person doing something like this could break a charity. Any chance any of the other people you help out might have clues / contacts, esp. if you casually mention that you can't continue after this.






    AH answer,
    they've already sold it to pay for their next hit.

    You should've just left it as that... never mind all the other text.

    That was beautiful in itself :)
