If you think you can take him, tell a few more people so it can be self defense when you kick his ass. That is, if you can't get your money back.
So there's this guy...

As helpful as the police would be in this senario, I don't think they'd really care about $125 missing/not being paid back. They'd probably just sneer and say "you're a big college boy, deal with it". That, and the fact I'm awaiting court date for underage drinking wouldn't look very good on my record (I'd imagine).
A theft is a theft, no matter the amount, and it seems to me that the guy you borrowed money to, doesn't want to pay you back, hence fulfilling the requirements of theft. And you can also get the police onto him for the threatening, in other words, harassing, which should win the police onto your side. I dont know how the legal system works in whatever country you're in, though.Hallow said:
Dude you need to hop the fuck off my nuts. You act like 125 is breaking your damn bank.. I have to pay for ------ cell bill, her rent, her kids clothes, her gas.. I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT SHIT TO PAY FOR. why do you think i never have money. you need to hop the fuck off nutsack i will pay you when i fucking pay you. ask me again and you will never see it. stop fucking harrasing me.
Ironically he broke up with his gf an hour or so ago. But this is like the 5th time they've done that, so I'll just wait an hour before they most likely get back together. If not, then I guess he doesn't have more important shit to pay for (but reminding him of that at this point would just throw salt in the wound). The only real reason I'm riding him so hard about this (other than it's been a month and he told me one day he had the money and to call him, I did and he never answered, neither the next day) is because he said he's gonna try to transfer next semester. And if he did I know he'd never pay me back.
(BTW, I really appreciate all the help you guys have provided so far)

Tell people who will back you in a fight. Then tell everyone. He'll look like a ***** if he doesn't try to follow through with what he said. And then even if he does, then thats where you have the people backing you to jump in, if need be. Honestly, I don't know how many people I've run into like this. And 9/10 of them didn't follow through with their threats, and the other 1/10 can't even fight. Trust me people like this are nothing to deal with. Oh, and I always got my money back.
He's just trying to string you along long enough for him to get out without having paying you back, as well as making a rather pitiful attempt at getting you to just let him keep the money out of pity. I'd suggest going to the cops and informing them of assault threats towards you, on top of theft, which is what taking your money and refusing to pay you back amounts to. And they're the fucking cops, it's their job to deal with shit like this, they don't get to decide that they don't want to deal with this, so don't try and use that as an excuse to not go to them.Hallow said:
If you go to the cops all of the other people that he's ripped off may come out of the woodworks and get him in even deeper shit after words, which would just be the icing on top of the cake. He's obviously manipulating scum, don't feel bad for fucking his cheap ass over.
I say, keep on him about it anyway. If he follows through on the threat and says he's not going to pay you at all, just start telling people about it. Clearly he isn't fond of that so you will achieve one of three things.
1) He'll grow up and actually pay you back the money, or
2) He'll be humiliated by his friends for being a mooch, or
3) He'll actually try to fight you, in which case you can
---a) Call the cops
---b) Let his friends know he beat up the guy he mooched off of for having the gall to want to be paid back, and his reputation goes to shit
Seems like a win any way you go.

Sneak attack. Come at him from behind when he least suspects, ideally with a group of friends, and beat the ever-loving shit out of him. search through his pockets, take whatever he has, and tell him he has a week to come up with the rest or you'll be back to break his kneecaps. And be sure to tell him to pay interest.
That was, of course, fecetious. I say let it go. Not worth the effort to fight the guy. Though you should definitely tell everyone you know what an ass he is so no one loans him money anymore.

Judging by you saying you almost got in drunken fights, id recomend telling everyone, then trying your best should the inevitable fight come along. Or you could get some of his friends to march to his room/his location with you (public area seems better) and the handicap of his own friends on your side might force him to surrender.Hallow said:
But yeah, should the ifght come, try your best, it might be broken up before it gets too bad, and then youll get the followers, not him
If the cops did sneer at you, then the law enforcement is messed up where you live. Start a campaign for that iswell. It seems like your destiny to change the community for the better, first this guy, then the police, like some sort of chosen one.Blackdra said:
...sorry, mind went away with me then.
He threatened you? Fantastic! Take a trip to the police station and explain things to them. If they don't do anything about it, tell EVERYONE about the money. Then once he does come and beat you up, walk back into the police station and say 'Hey remember how I came to you guys with this problem? Well he followed through'.
Bam, he gets arrested.
Bam, he gets arrested.
Well, he said if you told anyone he'd beat you up, so you should tell everyone. Show him that a) you aren't going to take his shit, and b) you want what's yours. And make sure that if/when he wants to meet with you, tell him to bring the money, and you bring along a bunch of people with video cameras so that if he starts something, it's all on tape and ready to be given to appropriate authorities. You didn't start this, but you should sure as hell end it.
Tell him you're free to say whatever you want, and that includes venting out to other people about his behavior.
So unless he pays you back, you'll continue venting your frustrations of his behavior to other people, because this is how you deal with stress.
Also, he's clearly bluffing. Tell him that a 'fight' will only get him into deeper problems.

Make Flyers. I'll find an example, but don't be as extreme.

Okay I think I can answer this with a movie reference:Hallow said:
The scene is in 1950's America and a teenager is trying to get into the crime buisness and he already knows a big mob boss. But one day he has loaned someone some money ($20 to be exact) and the person keeps running every time he sees him and this guy doesn't know if he should attack him, run away or what, so the mob boss guy approaches him and tells him if you don't like someone who is a lying scab and won't pay you back your money there is no need to be friends with him right? so what you do is you let him keep that money and you have him out of your life for $20.
The point I'm expressing is that he is someone who keeps avoiding you and you don't need someone like that around, an untrustworthy person, so if you let him keep that money you have him out of your life for a small price.
tell absolutely everyone. He's probably bluffing, and everyone will know why he attacked you, thus ruining his social life. Also, if he attacks you, it's assault, so you can call self defense and kick his ass.
The police may not care about $125 that you lent to your 'friend' (as opposed to him taking it) but him threatening to attack you is him threatening to attack you, no bones about it. It's a different matter to your underage drinking charge. If you go to the police now you've got a valid reason, if you goad him into a fight then go to the police they'll listen to your story about being in a fight, take a look at that underage drinking charge, and laugh you out of the room.Hallow said:
I'm in the second year of Uni myself and due to a series of very unlucky events I've been in contact with the police a lot more than I would have liked (always as the victim, I hasten to add!) and they've never treated me badly because I was a student. Just make sure you act maturely and make them realise this is a real problem, you're not just some kid who's had a falling out with a mate.
I've said before how convoluted schemes are actually the best way to deal with this sort of thing, so here's my suggestion:
1. Start wearing red clothing, a lot. Begin whistling soviet music when people can hear you.
2. Basically, act like a communist.
3. After about a week, when everyone believes your a communist, publicly suggest to "this guy" that he shouldn't worry about paying you back, as you've recently become a communist, and therefore you wish to help evenly distribute all wealth. In this situation two things will happen:
4.A. He will pay you back, because he doesn't like communism. You win!
4.B. He will say "Oh, ok", at which point, you must do the superman reveal of your red shirt, to show the shirt you were wearing underneath, which has a picture of Senator McCarthy on it, accuse him of being a communist guerilla. Everyone will believe this without question. This will This means you get revenge! You win!
I see no other possible outcome.
