This whole thing has gotten twisted and turned around, and two people I consider friends have been dragged into this mess. Sammy and Neil - I apologize. Sammy, I wasn't going to drag you into it, even though I knew that you had known the TRUE story from the very start, and everything you posted was 100% correct.
I have never bought a cage or enclosure from Dave Lawson, and I owned ZERO reptiles when he was renting property from my father in law. Sammy was one of the very first people I met (online) that helped me figure out what to do wth the lizards that were left behind when Dave Lawson moved out. They were from an import shipment and consisted of agamas, geckos, skinks and at least one chameleon.
To further back up the story, here is the original thread I started, right at the time that I first met Sammy online:

Yes Dave, I say that you owe "us" the money. I am the general manager of a business that my father in law owns. When you rip off him, you are ripping off me as well...and my wife and kids. We are a FAMILY. I would think that someone who makes $200 a month IN SEASON and has everything listed in his mothers name (allegedly) would understand the concept of family - but it this case, it isn't convienient for you....
I really have nothing else to add to this thread, so you can feel free to twist and turn the story around to suit your needs. If people need any further info from me, please send me a PM. I will not allow more of my friends to be dragged int this.
Thanks for the opportunity to state my (our) case.
