You don't want to press charges? Why? She blatantly stole from you. There isn't a lower form of life on the planet than a thief. I wish we chopped hands off in this country for crap like that.
You don't press charges she will think she got away with it and she will do it again. I'd make sure they threw whatever book they had at her then I might throw a couple myself.
I effin HATE thieves. HATE them!!!!!
I woke up and contacted the credit card company and am going forward with it. They credited me the difference and are talking to the owner of the bar. I also called up the chief of police and had a nice chat with him. What bothers me the most is the bartender grew up in the same town as me, about 1 square mile. I didnt think I was that much of an ass growing up.
