here is the best thing you can do to TOTALLY ruin this guys rep, have a few CH's make a pet named suchnsuch is a theif, and have the pets do walks around all the major capital city starports, this works wonders
well, you want the other guy to look like the jerk, not you... and it might be considered griefing
how is that a grief, he is a thief and scum. thats not a grief. its getting the word out that this person STOLE, and CAN NOT be TRUSTED. that is the plane simple truth. and what is that saying ? If the Truth hurts?
yes, i am very vindictive once a person crosses the line like what was stated above, even to the point of getting extreme retibution !!!
I agree- ethics has a place even in game- I know of a guy who was frauding people and SOE dealt with it harshly, if SOE cannot or will not, I think we as the community should.
I would use pets, the new droids with barker module and every person willing to add this guys a thief to their house name.

sadly these people exist. I use to offer homes to people (acutally I still do sometimes hehe) usually small since I can take a loss.. anything larger they would have to pay (at least my cost on it so at a very discounted price)
out of 50+ I offer I probably lose around 4-5 homes (small ones) due to these kind of people..
Providing houses to new players has been commonplace in our city since its inception. Its not a ploy to artificially inflate our city's population (we rarely worry about ourcitizen count), but rather its how we like to welcome people into the game. It provides them a place for their items, and an incentive to log in and out of our city each day, and it reassures them that we are here to help them with the frustrations the early game of SWG can sometimes throw at a newbie. About 95% of the time it is very rewarding to both the recruit and the citizens themselves.
Does that mean we never get burned? Nope. It happens once every month or two. While a lot of people play a game like this to interact with others in a positive way and have fun doing it, there is a very annoying minority that play simply to unleash their inner a__hole. It may irk me for a moment, but I usually console myself quickly with two thoughts:
1) As I was taught by my father, never lend anything to anyone that you are not comfortable with loosing.
2) It was worth the cost of whatever was lost to get rid of a player like that.
I can not say I have ever lost two houses on the same person (editorial note: someone should seriously spank that brat's inner moppet), but I'd have to say that if two houses and a speeder got rid of him, it was worth the investment. In fact, I'd say you got away with a heck of a deal there.

oh don't get me wrong... if someone did that to me, i'll make sure he either pays me back WELL, or the entire galaxy will know about it (TC or Ahazi), but pets might not be a good way to go. most people might ignore them, and/or they'll think you're just nuts... chain mail works better
