The problem is that the money due is not worth the man hours needed to recover it.

I guess that times are hard for him. As for me, I lost half a nights sleep and 20 bucks worth of fuel. Times are hard on on our end too.

Well, You could have called the police. That is "theft of service." If over 500 dollars, I think that is now a felony.
