What is the name of your state? Georgia
I recently performed sub-contract work for a guy and I have some materials that belong to him. I told him to come get them from me and he insisits that I bring them to him or he will get a warrant issued for me. He refuses to make any other arrangement except for me to bring him his materials. I told him if he wants them to come get them. What should I do? the way he's acting I definately don't want to go to his place.

Unless it is prohibitively expensive or difficult to transfer the items, you should both grow up and settle this without any additional outside involvement.

How did you end up with these materials?

I agree, I've tried to meet in a nuetral location, etc. I just dont want to go to his house. I picked these items up at a supply house on his account and had permission to do so.

I am guessing then that they are either left over materials or materials for a new job.
If the first, is the job 100%? Can you return them to the job?

If for a new job, can you take them to the new job??

I guess if all else fails and he calls the police, they will come and investigate. Express your concerns and tell them the owner is welcome to come and pick the stuff up at your house. While many police seem to have removed themselves from stand by calls, maybe they still do this in your area and can help solve this.

Good Grief, Grow up, admit your faults, and take the materials back.

Do you people really not have anything more important going on in your lives????

They are not leftover materials, they are misc. parts for service work. I don't mind giving them back but with him already making threats I do not want to go to his house. Can he get a warrant on me? I am willing to give them back but on nuetral ground or at my place. Does the law say I must bring them to him.
If they were mine & I wanted them back I would go get them. He is lazy he doesn't want to get off his butt. He never has since I've known him.
Can I send him a certified letter telling him to pick them up? If so how long do I have to give him?

p.s. some may think this is silly as I do, but this guy will not bend, at this point I don't trust him one bit. So I feel if he wants his parts then he should come get them!

I'm sorry if this doesnt seem important to you but if someone was threating you like this when you've done nothing wrong I'm sure you would feel differently. I would appreciate advice not judgement.. Thanks

What are you afraid is going to happen if you bring the materials to his house?

Who knows? He is already making threats, who knows what he'll say then. This is nonsense.
I'm kinda pissed that he's making these threats and have no desire to go out of my way for him at this time. If he wants them he can make the proper arrangements or go and lie to the judge and get a warrant.
Have I done anything illegal?

What is he threatening to do? Threatening to sue you if you don't return his material is not illegal. However if he is threatening some bodily harm that's another story, in which case I would let the police know and ask if it would be possible for an officer to escort you when you drop off the material.

 

[spw777]

He's threatening to put a warrant out for me as it is if I don't bring it to him.. No bodily harm concerns here, just legal. I guess now he would have to lie to the judge in order to obtain a warrant. I'll just have my lawyer call him and instruct him to contact me to make arrangements to pick it up, that way he can't lie about me telling him he can pick it up. That should cover me. What do you think?

I think this is a bunch of petty sour grapes nonsense that your willing to throw good money away on, because of "Principle"

Bring him his crap and be done with it already. Your sounding like this adolescent bickering is consuming you and reigning over any degree of common sense you might hold and for what?

What good can actually come from continuing to participate in this stubborn headed battle to see who’s going to give in first? It's not like he pee'd in your sandbox, so get over it alseady.

Surely you can find something more constructive to do with all your time and energy?

If nothing else, send it by courier or UPS. Just be done with it already, it’s a fruitless situation no matter who gives in.

I can’t believe your actually going to contact an attorney to request they make a phone call over this senselessness,,,,

Is it that you would consider yourself a smaller man by simply saying, “OK, you win, when will you be home for me to deliver your things"?
If not, what could it possibly be that's keeping you from taking the path of least resistance, bringing him his crap and putting an end to this playground drama?

 

[outonbail]

One last thought to ponder,,

I wouldn't be worried about him claiming that you wouldn't allow him to pick up his materials. I would worry about him claiming you had no permission to use his account to begin with. How are you going to defend yourself in that regard?

After all, how would granting you permission to use his account be beneficial to him? Was it agreed that you would deliver his materials to him, for the benefit of using his account? Or is he just a nice (lazy) guy who lets anyone he meets, use his account?

How will the judge see it?

It sounds like your the one who has benifited in this ordeal,,, by him allowing you the use of his account. Now bring him his property!

#1. Get someone to go with you to take the items back.

#2. Itemize the items and have him sign for all the items you return, also have the buddy with you sign showing he witnessed the return of items.

#3. Don't work for him anymore, or the least dont use his account.

Be sure to keep the signed list of items returned if he ever tries to come back on you about any item.
