Charity or Not For Profit venue, when stolen from, the thief is - er - what - exactly ?
Scum of the earth. - A low life - A vile human being - a butt wipe ?
So when someone asked if he could stay at a NOT FOR PROFIT VENUE and asked if he could pay half now and half in a months time, and after some thought and being a considerate and thoughtful human being, it was allowed;- what would you think if the following happened ?
A month later the credit card used had been reported stolen so no monies could be charged and the owner of the card changed his phone as well so there is now no way of contacting him. He claims also to have moved house.
So the Not For Profit venue has had £225 stolen from it by someone who came and enjoyed the full facilities offered while KNOWING he was going to be a thief towards those who were being thoughtful and kind towards him
WHAT A HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING HE TURNED OUT TO BE.
Since lockdown, business has changed dramatically and considering how quiet it has been, and where I use my own personal pensions to prop up Hamilton Hall - it REALLY offends when people like him think it okay to con us here at Hamilton Hall and as a NOT FOR PROFIT venue, and where I have not taken a wage in 25 years and my last holiday was 7 years ago and before that - probably 10 years prior, what would you suggest is a way of 'getting through' to people like this and showing them the error of their ways.
I keep trying to think of non violent things in my mind, like smacking the shit out of him, or bashing his fucking head in, but violence does not get me the money back but one wonders what one has to do to get through to him that what he has done is appalling. Not just because he conned us - that is bad enough - but to con a NOT FOR PROFIT VENUE is TWICE, THRICE QUADRUPLE as bad .
I am appalled at people like him as karma will MOST CERTAINLY get him one day and he will sit and wonder why the fuck life dealt such a harsh journey and he probably won't realise karma has come up and created whatever it is - and he will probably never learn that what he did was wrong, and he will - no doubt - never 'get it.' but he will wonder why his lifes journey keeps turning to shit when all the time, it is because of his own actions.
We all have something to learn here and that is if you are an asshole - a thief, a con man or anything else - karma WILL get you in the end. It really will and it's up to you to see and appreciate and value when it does and try, if you are not TOO arrogant - to realise and grow and learn through the experience.
Now - Had he stated he was hard up or given me some hard luck story - I might have allowed him to attend for free - as I do this a LOT and this costs me personally as I am not a corporation, but a small business and I am not related to a charity of council / government body or anything else, and every penny earned is through hard work, long hours 7 days a week 52 weeks a year:- and then to have someone steal from me, sucks.
I willingly offer freebies to many people all the time, and that is my doing, I DO NOT expect to be conned and taken advantage of - and it creates a negative attitude in my mind as I am now pissed off and I don't want to be, I want to be calm and serene, yet people like this ruin other peoples peace and quiet by his manner because I could kick myself for saying YES in the first place when my inner voice was warning me at the time...
If I was not as strict as I am in business, the gay crowd would have bankrupted me decades ago as this is not the first person to steal from me and he probably won't be the last and the gay crowd is full of those who resent others, betray others, back stab and ruin it for others, and the gay scene is not a healthy place to reside as so many offer shameful behaviour and attitude and so many SO MANY - need therapy to help them see the error of their ways.
I have given away around £150,000 of free holidays at Hamilton Hall since I opened, a gesture from my heart to those in need, and I do not expect others to take and steal in such a manner.
I forgive the man who did this as I am sure his life is in a mess as it is and doen't need me tracking him down and taking him to court and his life is exactly what he has chosen to make it - as is mine, and the garden is looking stunning this summer, I owe nothing financially to anyone, have my home and car fully paid for and have a great life with Woody, Gary, Philip and Madge here at Hammy Hall and still meet wonderful people, so I take solace in that and know that I have been rewarded many times over in my life - and the Angels have always guided me well and with nothing to hide and where I feel blessed, I hope just a fraction of that wends its way to him and he finds his own solace in life and learns forgiveness for himself and for those who made him this way.
