Deadbeats..., my wife has 2 of them, brothers.
Her one brother retired at the age of 16. Came home from school, sat down in front of the tv and didn't move for 5 years. His father stopped buying him cigarettes and he realized if he wanted to smoke, he had to find money. He did an occasional odd job but found stealing and hocking his fathers Snap On and Craftsman tools was easier.
Years later his girlfriend that he was sponging off of moved to Nevada. He begged his mother for $4,000 to move to Arizona to get a job and live with his girlfriend. Since living with his girlfriend worked so well, she gave him the money. Three months later he called for more money. It seems that his girlfriend didn't want him, so he just took a $4,000 vacation in Los Vegas. She sent him a bus ticket to get home.
Years later he found a job in Hawaii working on a fishing boat. He begged my sister-in-law for $4,500 for a new start in Hawaii. He got the job and later found out that the guy that owned the fishing boat only wanted to drink and not work. So they drank up the remaining $4,500. He called for more money or at least a ticket home, but my sister-in-law refused to take his calls.
Years later, he's now 60 years old. My sister-in-law gets a call from the Maui Police. They wanted my sister-in-laws address and Soc. Sec. Number. She wouldn't give them her Soc. Sec.#. The police gave her a case # and said, "your brother checked into the Maui Hospital, and died within 24 hours." She asked the police for a phone number to call them back, but they would not give her a number. Odd... Was it a scam...?
She looked up the Hawaii police on the internet and called them. Sure enough there was a case # and her brother was dead. They did an autopsy, but he was fine other than being dead. They sent his fluids to a lab, but it will take 2 to 3 weeks to find out the results.
So basically nobody liked him, and now we have a body in Hawaii that nobody knows what to do with...?
Anyway, that's one thing that's going on at the moment....
