a little lesson from the universe
I’m amazed. You want to be a successful business man? Some lessons in business savvy are needed here. How can you allow an ex-con who still hadn’t paid his bills to use you for cheap/free emergency rescue? Didn’t you see the signs? You could’ve just said, “Sorry I’m busy, can’t make it at the moment, but I’ll call give you the number of a good garage.”
But it’s too late for that now. Sadly, some folk are real bastards, and this one seems unlikely to develop a conscience in this lifetime. I’d just stay the hell away from him, and ramp up the security on the house, keep your animals indoors when you’re not around to supervise them. Try to get some support from your other neighbours. And do contact the police, this guy and his kid are dangerous.
In the meantime, looks like you need the regular income as a paid mechanic in a garage, at least part-time. Then perhaps think about getting a business partner who’s a bit more street smart than you. You have a good and innocent heart that’s too open to abuse by the likes of con-man.
By the way, I think you’ve lost the money. Just chalk it down to experience.
