Why would a repo guy text Superdude from her phone? Why would a repo guy text him at all? Besides that they can’t breach the peace in performing a repossession. All of the above sounds like drama, and repo people don’t want drama. They just want the stuff named on the secured debt agreement.
Superdude. Did you file a police report in person, surrender your phone, and/or contact the FBI? Moriarty had some great suggestions upthread.
Please keep us informed. I’m praying for you both.
I’m sure hoping there is a good resolution to this. Thinking good thoughts.
I am also curious about the GFs friend and family. The OP said she isn’t close to her family but there have to be folks other than her BF, the OP, that care deeply about her. Have they been notified? What is their reaction? Do any of her friends have any info?
If, as the local police seem to be considering, the GF is angry with the OP or trying to get away from him, these other friends are key because hopefully they would know if there were issues between the OP and his GF. They are the ones that can help sort out the likelihood of this being a dire emergency.
I get the reasons why police wait to fully investigate under certain situations when its an adult who is missing. Maybe other friends/family of the GF should be pressed right now, today, into action.
Superdude, sending good thoughts your way. please update when you can and fingers crossed for a good resolution.
He wouldn’t, so maybe, just maybe, she’s embarrassed about the repo and sent the texts herself, adopting the persona of her idea of a street tough guy. People in bad situations can make bad decisions.
But that’s a maybe.
We have located her, and she is home, safe and sound.
Her sister sold her out. Her sister has had issues with addiction, and owed money to people who were not-so-nice. Her sister convinced them that** Girl Wonder** would be on the hook for it. Unfortunately, she didn’t bother to inform us about this idea.
Girl Wonder is reluctant to take this any further with the authorities because family was involved. I’m trying to disavow her of this notion.
WOW.
I am so pleased she’s home and unharmed. Do the Not-so-Nice people still have her car?? Did she have to pay over money as well??
Good to know. I hope this thread will be the last of its kind.
Well. All’s well that ends well. I guess.
Terrible story, but a better-than-we-might-have-hoped-for outcome.
You say “safe and sound,” which is great–how about emotionally?
And how about YOU emotionally?
I’m glad your girlfriend is safe and I hope you can convince her to press charges. Her sister sounds like she could use some help, but the bad guys who tried to shake her down should be taken off the streets.
How long was she home without contacting you, Superdude, and why didn’t she call you immediately (if she didn’t)? I think it’s pretty awful if you had to worry when she was basically ok.
I am glad she is back. Please take the following in light of that it comes from people who have come to care about you, your abducted girlfriend, and this situation.
I am concerned that we here do not have the full story. Let me understand this: a woman who is thinking of a law enforcement career, is accosted, perhaps even carjacked and kidnapped. In the process scaring you to death, causing you to get the police involved, and does not want to press charges? Because of the effect it may have on her addict sister? This does not make sense. There is additional information not being disclosed here.
This would strongly make me reconsider a continued relationship with this woman. What other drama is her druggie sister going to get you ensnared in? What if her creditors decide you and your stuff will be fine for settling her debts? Her not wanting to get police involved is troubling. Is she going to ignore other problems that arise because family or her might be bothered?
You should think long about this.
Regardless of her sister’s addiction, I believe that the police would focus their attention on these suspects if she went forward with a police report. If the sister is not in possession of drugs or high when the police speak to her, and she is forthright about what she knows about where these people are, I don’t think the police would spin off a criminal investigation involving her.
Now, if sister is still involved in the drug game, or was a co-conspirator, all bets are off. But at that point sis maybe doesn’t need to be protected.
If your girlfriend won’t go to the police, encourage her to at least go to the ER for an exam. You’re telling us that she was not hurt, but it’d be nice to give her a chance to discuss that - in private! - with a medical professional. And they might also offer some psychological help for the trauma she undoubtedly experienced.
Just an opinion. I’m glad she’s home and not injured!
If they had here phone, and if she is anything like me, I don’t remember anyone’s number, even my nearest and dearest. No need with mobile phones to memorize numbers, they’re right there in your contacts.
IOW, she may not have been able to call him because she didn’t know his number.
The bad dudes obviously had possession of her phone. Did she get her phone back?
Gosh. That was really something. The twist ending with the sister really took me off guard.
Yeah, I am happy she was found safe, but now that we know it was connected to a drug debt, I would give serious consideration to stopping all involvement with this family if you value your own life. Hanging out with people who have associates involved in drugs and/or gang activity is a good way to end up “In the wrong place at the wrong time”.
Well, thank goodness for a positive ending, if not exactly a “happy” one.
Whew. That’s quite a tale. Glad she’s back safe and sound. I would not discount the possibility of emotional trauma even if she’s physically unharmed. We don’t know the details of what she went through, but it’s hard to believe it wasn’t pretty frightening.It’s possible she would benefit from some counseling.
My brother-in-law, a drug addict with a gambling problem, took all of my mother-in-law’s lifetime savings, maxed out her credit cards, opened loans, opened new cards, and took over her pension. She won’t press charges. It’s really, really hard to get family members to take action in these situations.
I’m glad your GFs back and she’s ok. When she’s feeling up to it (but soon), you should talk about how she wants to handle things with her sister moving forward. How does she know that this won’t happen again, for example? If things continue to escalate with her sister, where is your GFs limit? Will she press charges if she gets hurt? If you get hurt? Did your GF actually give any money to these people?
Count me as another thinking if she does you like this maybe you should consider ending the relationship. She fucked with you majorly for a day. You owe her no loyalty, no nothing.
