It’s going to depend very much on who is in charge of the Gas station, they might have you sign an IOU, or they may ruin your day somehow or be stupid enough to ruin their own by acting the clown in front of the wrong customer.Back in the mid 90s I worked as a cashier in a gas station and this type of thing wasn’t an uncommon experience, we were in a quiet rural area and we mostly had locals come and pay us a visit, every now and again one would forget their money and have to come back.I’d generally just get out the receipt book and have them sign an IOU, and a day or so later they’d come and make good, and in the case of out of towners i’d generally ask that they leave their spare as surety.But me and the other cashiers had to keep it hidden from the boss, Billy.Not only would he deduct it from our wages, he’d threaten not to give it back if the driver did return and pay. Which is bad, but understandable to a degree, as a Commissioned Operator he was legally on the hook for the cost of the fuel.But worse was his reaction in front of customers, picture a short, tubby guy hopping around from foot to foot, waving his spectacles as he was heaping and hurling abuse, demanding the poor soul call family or a friend immediately to bring money and refusing to accept a spare or other form of surety, and just generally behaving like an obnoxious jackass.I was on an early shift one morning and a Jaguar rolled in, the forecourt was otherwise empty and I watched a big guy get out, pick up the pump and lean back as he filled. He’d only put a couple of gallons in before quite comically started patting away at his jacket and trouser pockets clearly realising he hadn’t got any cash.He wasn’t a regular and was a big, hard looking guy, mid 50’s pale blue eyes and short curly grey hair, plenty of scars, tatooed hands, and he was very polite and was so apologetic, offered to leave his spare without being asked.I was reaching for the receipt pad, and the driver headed out to his car, poped the trunk and was heading in with a full size spare when I saw Billy’s little Golf turn onto the forecourt. Well, my heart sank that moment, I knew what was coming .Billy rushed in with a sour look on his face, and asked why this gentleman was in the shop with a wheel?He of course didnt like the answer and began berating the poor guy, demanding he pay up somehow or get a relative to bring money before he could leave.The old guy was at first quite contrite, then, as the insulting insinuations continued unabated, pointed out his wheel was worth more than a few tanks full, he’d be mad not to come back for it.Billy was having none of it, began lecturing the man on how this would affect his profits, leave him out of pocket and how terrible a crime it was to come get gas and not be able to pay.It was then abouts I noticed a change in our guest, he first looked at me, I mouthed sorry, he nodded grimly and got a thin lipped expression and began to look around the ceiling of the shop, noting where cameras were. And then he began agreeing with Billy, nodding at how stupid he apparently was, but from the narrow eyed look and the drop of his shoulders I was expecting to see Billy hit the floor with a broken jaw.Yet it didn't happen. Billy took the wheel, and made him sign the chitty warning the guy that he’d better come back.The big guy, took a final look around the shop, again looking at the cameras, and said ‘oh dont worry, I will be back’ with an icy tone of voice that was so polite but filled with so much menace that I felt my blood run cold. He turned to me, calmed himself for a moment, nodded again, I think to suggest he didn’t hold me responsible, and then left.Billy began tearing into me then, but I was sure that if the cameras had not been there then he’d have likely taken a truly heroic beating, I might even have been tempted to get some popcorn and watch.Anyway, the big guy didn’t come back that day, but when I arrived at 7am to open the shop the next morning the front door had been torn from its hinges, the alarm was disabled, shop trashed and the main safe had been cut into using some kind of blade saw, cutting though several inches of concrete and then an inch of steel. Unfortunately for the saw man, there were two safes and they had given up before breaching the second, but got away with the float and a couple of cash pods that had not been dropped due to the night cashier forgetting and few hundred cartons of cigarettes.Was it a coincidence? Maybe it was, but the villain/s had taken a couple more things besides, namely the spare Jaguar wheel, the receipt pad and the IOU that was stuck to the wall board.And whilst the shop did have cameras, it had no VCR. When Billy took the place over, he declined to buy the existing set up from the previous Com Op expecting them to throw it in for free due to his hard nosed attitude, and he was too tight fisted to buy a new one when this tactic failed. So there was nothing much, beyond dusting for prints and taking statements, that the police could do.I never heard if anyone was caught, and I never saw the big guy again. But I think if I had, he might have just nodded at me and a let sly smile cross his lips.

Not a thrift store, but a secondhand bookshop.I was looking for old mystery novels—the kind of 1950’s cheap pulp crap that never even hits a second printing. I didn’t find any, but I did find a couple of Agatha Christies, so I went to check out.The shop owner was unpacking a new box from somebody who’d gone “you can have the whole thing for five bucks, I just want it gone.” She’d set aside one book about the same size as an adult woman’s hand, a nasty little grubby thing that looked like it might have a bad case of mold. I was curious, so I asked about it.Her reply: “I don’t think I even have a place for it on the shelf. It’s going to sit forever.”I bought it for 50 cents and took it home.There was no title page, and neither my mom nor I recognized the work in it, so my mom—now also curious—bought a baby toothbrush and spent a lot of hours teasing the dirt off the cover with the barest amounts of water and a lot of paper towels. Just one word for a title: “Essays.” But now we knew what the cover looked like—not grunge black, but a pretty tan and green—so she started doing research.First edition of Emerson’s Essays, as confirmed by the cloth color on the cover and the lack of a title page.BUT WAIT.You think that’s the find of a lifetime. And for someone else in another bookshop, it is.But here’s the thing. There were TWO first editions of Emerson’s Essays. A binding error led to the release of a few hundred copies with about 20 pages missing, and a couple of others upside-down. These error copies were quickly destroyed, barring those that had already been purchased, and the current going price for such a copy was several hundred dollars, possibly as much as a thousand—as opposed to the $50 or so garnered for a “first” (corrected) edition.My mom and I read this on an appraiser’s website and stared at each other, barely daring to breathe. I asked if she’d looked. She said no. “You bought it, you look.”I picked it up and flipped to the page numbers indicated. Missing—but that wasn’t good enough. Pages can be removed. I had to confirm the other error, too.I flipped the pages—so, so carefully. I was shaking. I looked.I gasped so loudly you could have heard me three counties over, dropped the book, caught it, and set it down like it was made out of glass.And that’s the story of how I paid our mortgage AND electricity for a month for just fifty cents.

Well,There is absolutely no proof that the laptop ever belonged to Hunter Biden.Even if it did, at one point, belong to Hunter Biden, there is no way to prove that it has or has not been tampered with.Any real e-mails between Hunter and Joe Biden that supposedly were on the laptop were probably hacked from the web.The “Chain of Custody” is an absolute mess.Hunter Biden, who lives and works in Los Angeles, dropped off one (or maybe three) Apple MacBooks, that had been water damaged at a no name computer repair shop in Delaware (instead of returning them to Apple), but left no contact information and then never returned to pick up this/ these valuable laptop computer(s)? Or maybe did leave contact info but was never contacted?The owner of the shop lost or erased the security tapes showing Hunter Biden dropping off the laptops, AND lost the contact information (if there was any), too.The owner of the shop is legally blind and has admitted that he can not identify Hunter Biden to begin with.The owner of the repair shop then decided to poke around on the hard-drives to see what he could find; and, having (supposedly) found e-mails addressed to Hunter Biden, did not attempt to contact Hunter Biden about retrieving the laptops, and then decided to keep poking.That is highly unethical at best. Would you take YOUR laptop to this place?Oh, and the shop owner also said that he “knew” it was Hunter Biden’s laptop because it had a sticker for Beau Biden’s charity on it - a sticker that anyone could get for a free from the charity.The owner of the repair shop then decided to make a copy of the hard-drive “for insurance” in case someone came looking for the laptop - why did they do this?The story that the repair shop owner has told has changed multiple times and is rather unbelievable.First the owner said that he contacted the FBI about the laptop, the FBI then retrieved the laptop, but after not hearing about an investigation the owner contacted Rudy Giuliani with the copy of the hard-drive he ad made.Then the owner said that the FBI had somehow found out about the laptop and came to his shop to seize it, but he hid his backup copy.At some point after the FBI took the laptop, they contacted the owner for “help” because the FBI didn’t have experts who could read the hard-drive. (Seriously, what?)Or an FBI agent threatened the repair shop owners life in an effort to suppress the information on the laptop - or not, depending on who the owner told the story to.Despite all of this drama, the e-mails found on the laptop (at least those revealed so far) aren’t actually incriminating. The one “Smoking Gun” that Giuliani was crowing about is from a Ukrainian businessman thanking Hunter for setting up a meeting with his father - but it isn’t clear if the meeting happened, was supposed to happen, or if this e-mail was just a request for a meeting.And the Ukrainian businessman didn’t use his actual business e-mail account, or his personal e-mail account (which would have had either a Russian [.ru] extension or a Ukrainian [.ua} extension, but instead used a generic American g-mail account. And they used the American spelling of ‘Ukraine’ as part of their e-mail address, which makes as much sense as an American putting ‘EstadosUnitos’ as a part of their e-mail address.Also, Joe Biden’s schedule as a Vice President is publicly available and he never actually met with this person. The Secret Service have no record of Joe Biden meeting with this man, either.Even if Joe Biden had met with this man, it wouldn’t be proof that anything illegal or untoward had happened. the Vice-president meets with a lot of people - even businessmen from other countries.And we didn’t actually get to SEE any of these supposed e-mails, which would have had routing and tracking information attached to them. No, we just saw PDF copies of the text of the e-mails. PDFs are some of the very easy types of images to manipulate.This important, hard-hitting political hit job was then shopped to Fox News who turned it down as ‘Too Unbelievable” (although they are happy to report that it has been reported). When it was finally printed in the tabloid the New York Daily Post, none of their reporters was willing to risk their reputations, such as they were, by putting their by-line on it. Wow, that screams integrity and truth!So, here we have a story about a laptop that might or might not be Hunter Biden’s, with no way to prove that one way or another, that might have some copies of some not-very-scandalous e-mails on it and a enough razzle-dazzle for a three-ring circus.The whole story stinks like last month’s fish.It is all a continuation of the Hunter-Biden-something-something-corruption-something-Ukraine story that was debunked last spring; but Trump is losing in the polls and he (and his supporters) are desperate, so here we go again.This is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.And that is why it is not newsworthy (and also why I am questioning wasting my life answering questions like this - this answer took 40 minutes that I will never, ever get back).
