Its the rational choice. Attacking the person isnt going to get your money back and it only complicates the issue by adding possible jail time to your list of problems
if the guy steals $50k, he should expect repercussions... he STOLE, mind you, for a big, mean lookin bodybuilder with a short temper.. who had $50k to burn... what did the dipshit EXPECT was gonna happen?
you should always know what you're getting into.
you should always know that if you call the cops.. #1, you're a rat, snitch, sissy, bitch, punk, ect... and #2, you're not gonna get your money back, even IF the dipshit goes to prison. all you're doing is helping the cops add an arrest to their record... #3, you're opening the door for cops to look into YOU as well. as in, "where'd the money come from? what kind of work do you do? what was the money for?"
