'Detaining Disco' & 'Burning Up a Customer' & 'A Vehicular Assault'

First, an aunt and her lover agreed to watch the plaintiff’s Chihuahua for her, but when she came to pick the pet up, they refused to return the dog to her! The defendants are trying to get away with stealing her pet, so she’s suing for $5,000, the cost of her dog, and any future breeding income. The defendants claim they were given the dog to watch while the plaintiff was in rehab, and the plaintiff got kicked out for bad behavior. She reportedly told them to just keep the dog since she had to enter a halfway house and never even gave them money for his care. Then, the plaintiff received multiple phone calls from the defendant telling her she might be at risk of a fire because her chimney looked to be in terrible condition. She agreed to have him look at the chimney, and he pointed out a piece that was installed incorrectly. She got nervous, signed a contract with him, and later changed her mind about getting the repairs done. She canceled in the allotted time, but he won’t return her deposit, so she’s suing. The defendant says the only thing he heard from her was that she wanted to get other estimates, and didn’t get a cancellation until the day before the job. He has every right to keep the deposit. Plus, the plaintiff was proceeding through a four-way stop when the defendant drove into his driver’s side wheel, causing damage. Since the defendant was at fault, he’s certainly responsible for the cost of repairs, but he’s refusing to pay up. The plaintiff is suing for these costs of repairs. The defendant says the accident was certainly the plaintiff’s fault, and he’s lucky neither he nor his 7-year-old were injured. The plaintiff is countersuing for the cost of his deductible.
