Should I call him? Or is it stalking?

[i-need-a-martini]

I'm selling a pile of books on ebay and was about to list 2 collections of old boys books (Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, Huck Finn etc plus a good Enid Blyton collection). They are published in the 60's and not overly valuable.

I found them on the side of the road about 20 years ago during a council clean up and then I gave them to my son. Each book has the owners name and address in it plus some notes throughout - which books he liked, his comments on the characters and one book he gave to his sister on her birthday with a note saying "I think you will love this book." All very sweet.

Anyway, the name is highly unusual so I googled it. And I have found someone with same name who lives around the block from the original address. So I figure it has to be him. He is a lawyer with the ABC so I now have his email address.

The question is: do I email him and ask him if he wants his books back? Is that too weird? Or do I just ebay them as originally planned?

If he googles you I hope you didn't sign the email i-need-a- martini because he will see all your leftie luvvie posts on CS 😮

[i-need-a-martini]

Lol! No Freddie, I emailed him with my real email address and name - not my fake CS one. :^O

Without reading the thread, yeah email him without any other intent except ask if he is interested in them.

Could be your good dead for the month.

I got a response.

Yes the books are his. No he doesn't have any kids to give them to. But he will store them in in mums garage until he does.

And could I drop them off at his place in the Eastern Suburbs. 😐

ungrateful piece of .

Should have sold them:^O

Store them in Mum's garage? Wasn't it Mum who put them out for roadside collection?

Bet she doesn't want to see them back again.

That's exactly what I thought as soon as I read that. :^O

It's just occurred to me that perhaps he thinks I live around the corner or something.

[i-need-a-martini]

Although if that was the case then why didn't he offer to come get them ?:|

How odd.
