Paid a guy to fix my chimney, I find out a month later all he did was spray paint it and took a picture where the crack wasn't to make it appear he did something. Should I drag him to small claims for $375, he's obviously a psychopath that knows where I live. He could come back some night and do some vandal revenge costing me 10 times that much easily. Then again, he needs to be outed.

The kicker is Better Business Bureau recommended the guy!

Be grateful you were only taken for $350 and move on. Try to determine what caused you to make the mistake of hiring a cheat in the first place and formulate a plan to ensure the likelihood of that is reduced in the future.

By striking back and sabotaging his property you might be doing little more than opening the first salvo in a seriously destructive shared engagement between the both of you.

But enjoy whatever path you choose to walk, brother.
