Last Tuesday, Olivia and I flew back down to Los Angeles for a small claims court date. It was our second trip, the first one in December was pretty much a waste of time. Olivia doesn't have much vacation time with our Irish Wedding coming up, so we have to fly down just for the day. The short long story of it goes like this. We left the place in immaculate condition, bending over backwards for every crazy request by our living in London slumlord, and she still didn't give us our rather large security deposit back. She acts like she doesn't have to follow California Law or Human codes of moral behavior.

Result? She didn't show up, AGAIN. This time the judge gave us the maximum amount for small claims court and advised us that she'll probably appeal. Thats fine. She'll have to show up or hire someone to show up. Then it will be over.

It sucks, its time consuming, but you have to stand up for yourself.
