Steve why are you trying to take this thread out of context? If you want to know why I was locked up READ the whole thread it's in there. If you have nothing useful to say perhaps you should stop replying rather than trying to bring up 23 + years ago that has nothing to do with the present.

I looked up what an MHTML file is and the problem is that it's a Microsoft only file that can only be opened in specific programs. JPG screenshots need posted so that everyone can view what he's trying to post.

Since you were able to open them Maggie, if Steve can't figure out the screenshot issue perhaps since you already have the files you could post the screenshots?

I don't claim to know any specifics about what really happened here, but I have worked as a property manager, and something smells a little fishy here.

I never said we were locked out before April 21st. The animals, cages and other belongings were illegally removed prior to getting an eviction notice.

Can I copy the e-mail? I will do that since Steve M. (two Steves wow!) has posted here. I just did not want to contribute the the "third pary/ hearsay" portion of this thread. (I hate is when Rich gripes at me! )

Ok, I'm not trying to beat you up. Just trying to get an exact timeline on the events. I know they're scattered around this thread in bits and pieces, but if you could provide a concise timeline of these events in a single post, it might be helpful.

Leave out the irrelevant fluff and editorializing, and post a simple timeline (with dates).

That would be a good place to start.

Here is a copy and paste of the e-mail with the ad. It looked okay in preview...crossing my fingers...

Pre edit: I had to remove some of the HTML tags (they were just ads for other businesses anyway) but you will at least get the body of the ads this way. There were no pictures in the body of Chris' ads.

I can't seem to take a screen shot of my inbox. I don't know why. I can forward it to you if you can do something about it.

I’m not looking for any sympathy I just wanted to let people know some of my objections


It’s a shame Chris Foley was THREATENED as he stated by the DA to certain terms.

Here are the e-mails I exchanged with Chris Foley.

Steve,

I appreciate your calmness about the situation. However, the DA has legally binded and threatened me to certain terms. I understand that by not discussing this with you further could result in you pursuing me. By discussing this with your further, it could result in the DA pursuing me. All that I have done in this situation is acted as a rescue, doing a favor for animals in a situation where some were already deceased. I have already been given instructions by animal control, police, and the district attorney, holding me liable to their direction.

Again, I would be happy to work out anything with you through the DA. I'll do anything with their approval. I look forward to helping you. Again, her information is Cindy Hatton: 610-377-9167.

Thanks again,

Chris Foley

When/ what did you get from the list I sent to you and what was there condition?
I would appreciate you discussing this with me without the DA involvement.
What the landlords planned was totally illegal.
Did you purchase these animals or what is the deal?

Thanks for responding.
Steve

Steve,

I did pull the ads after receiving your original message because I obviously did not want any further interest in them. I did not respond instantly, as I was on the way out the door.

If there is anything I can do to assist you, I would be glad to. I have acted solely at the request of animal control, the landlord, and the district attorney. All that I care about today and have cared about from the start is that these animals are in good care.

As I said, I will do whatever I can in my power to assist you but my hands are relatively tied via the District Attorney's orders. I would like to give you her name and number and hopefully they will be able to give us a place to start.

Her information is: Cindy Hatton: 610-377-9167

Another thing you may want to look into....I do not have all of those animals listed. I do not know if or who else was involved. We can discuss this after the DA has been contacted.

Thanks,
Chris Foley

Chris,

I noticed you pulled the ads and like I said I already have copied all the ads you posted to my hardrive as well as your IP address.

I think it would be in your best interest not to contact my landlords and to talk to me and hear what I have to say. I have already spoken in detail to an attorney and I have a solid lawsuit that will be filed against them as well as pushing for criminal charges being filed.
You can avoid having criminal charges or a lawsuit filed against you if you are willing to cooperate 100% with me. You will not be out any money I promise you that and will be rewarded if you cooperate.


I can be reached at 570- edited

If Chris is working under the direction of the DA and Animal control then he is indeed a middle-man and is bound by the constriants evoked by those parties.

He shouldn't even be mentioned in a lawsuit except in that capacity.

Thanks for the reply. At least you were locked up for a good reason. AGAIN, it seems you're still not a very responsible person. So keep blaming everyone but yourself for the situation that you're in. Steve, IT'S YOUR FAULT. It's all on you and nobody else. If you did your duty as the law required you wouldn't be in this position. I feel sorry for the animals because they're the only innocent victims here. Nothing was taken out of context because it seems that some people are quick to blame the authorities and feel sorry for you. Cry me a river why don't you. It's obvious you had money to buy quite a few animals of which some were said to be high end animals. maybe you should of used some of that money to keep up on your bills including your child support. My god is anything sacred to you? This is your child for god's sake. Maybe I can't relate to your "situation" because I get up every morning, go to work, pay my bills and don't get over my head. If the animal business wasn't working out for you financially then maybe you needed to find another line of work that would allow you to collect a steady paycheck. I'm just puzzled as to how you cannot accept any blame for the situation you got yourself in. Just tell us why none of this is your fault.

Was I wrong?

BTW if you can not grasp what I was trying to convey in my earlier posts, then I do not know what else to say. My saying the authorities were culpable IF they turned off the heat (which Steve M states they did not) wasn't to give Steve M a "pass". It was to point out that they knew they were dealing with live animals also. Animals that were incapable of regulating their own body heat. IF they had done that (which they did not) it would have made them just as "bad" as they claimed Steve M to be.

I hope that was a clearer picture.
