A couple of weeks ago the neighbor WatchyMan came to me on a Sunday morning (clue#1=Sunday) asking for 500 pesos b/c the property dog was sick.

I asked about the vet being open on a Sunday.... Si, Senor - seguro (clue#2)

He promised his "Donia" would have the money the next afternoon... of course, she is not and never is, in residence.... will be wired to him.

Needless to say.... it took 2 weeks.... I pass him on the road every day.... he wouldn't even look at me.
I began to refer him publicly as Senor Quinientos and point and blow my horn at him regularly.

Surprise, surprise.... he finally paid..... but I consider myself lucky.

Thats my last loan !!

I have loaned to employees but have their pay and liquidation as insurance... never a problem.

The consensus here is ...... DON'T DO IT !!
