A lien will cost you a couple of hun, and you can do it tomorrow. Once they pay, you have 48 or 72 hours to drop the lien. But those 2 - 3 days could be hell for them if they have their own business :D

Maybe wait till Monday, and you could screw up their week :beer:

If you want to be vendictive..... do it the legal way, this way you can't be touched. JMO

Winter is coming. A drive way or side walk of snow delivered every snow fall will get some attention. No damage to anything so they cant come after you. There are a lot of sled guys here with sled trailers to load up!
I on occasion don't get paid but they are repeat customers and I am in a specialized business, not a lot of people do what I do so I get them in the end. No cheque, no more service. It costs them money to be broke down.

Olden days.......? Guys like me still do that vigilante sh*t, F*ck me over and be prepared to have limbs or something broken. Once a guy I worked with owed me money for a car stereo I sold him, he said he'd pay me on our next cheque the following Friday, well when we got our cheque's he also got his walking papers(which I never found out until the following week) After work friday he said Ill bring the money to work on Monday, he never showed, I called him and he wouldn't answer..... for weeks this went on. One day after work I made a visit to his place with a baseball bat and a poolball in a tube sock.Offered him one last chance to pay or give back the stereo and he would not cooperate so....... One busted ass knee from the bat, couple missing teeth and surely some internal bleeding and huge welts from the pool ball. Then walked out to his car while he was down and out, and ripped the whole stereo out (two 12" alpine subs, set of alpine 6x9's, door speakers and an alpine deck) Poor decision on his part. Then 4 years later I seen him at the SAIT bar while I was in school, he bought me a beer and apologized for the whole thing..... said he deserved what he got.... I thought so too

Well you could always get a couple drums of weed killer and pour it all over their lawn, or go bust some knee caps with a baseball bat like they used to do in the olden days

No not a one, I think I put the fear of god into him, he knew he tried to rip me off for a $1000+ and Im thinking he learned his lesson
