So I will make this as short as I can.
This guy came to my house and talked to my husband about trimming the tree in our backyard. This guy had done it before but not while we lived there. Anyways he verbally quoted my husband at a 100 bucks to trim and haul away the branches. My husband was at work and I was sleeping at the time when he was cutting the tree. Well he cut down the very top branches, left them laying on the ground and took off. My husband, being very trusting of people, payed him up front. Sure enough he cashed the check right away.
He did this on Thursday and we are now going on Wednesday. He keeps saying he will be right over to finish the job but then never shows. We have his name, number, and home address. I am going to call him today and tell him to have it done by Thursday or I want my money back.
With the way his behavior has been so far I highly doubt the he will come back or give me my money back.
Now my question if he does not come back or give me my money back is this incident police report worthy? I know the police will not be able to do much but if I decide to take him to court (I doubt this will happen but you never know) would it be my best bet to have a police report? Will the police department even let me file a report?
Oh I live in San Bernardino County, CA and the area I live in is patrolled by San Bernardino County Sheriffs.
