Stepdad cons me out of my laptop, so I conned him out of his car.

Here's what happened.

13 years ago, I was in my late teens, living on my own and really struggling to live financially.

One of the few possessions I had was an old laptop.

My laptop had stopped working properly and while I'm fairly proficient in using a computer,

I had no idea about fixing them.

I did a bit of research on the internet, but couldn't get it working.

So I asked my stepdad to take a look.

He is a quick look and says it's screwed, and he'll take it off my hands if I don't

want it.

So I said sure.

If it's broken, then it's no good to me.

10 minutes later, I walk in the room and he's using it.

I asked if he fixed it, and he says, yeah, thanks for the laptop.

I was obviously ticked.

My mom says she wasn't getting involved, and his only response was that he did a quick

internet search to find the fix, and I could have done the same.

I was broke, and he took one of my only possessions, even though he had a PC and a laptop already.

A few months later, I was visiting my mom and stepdad when I had an idea.

While I am useless with computers, I'm very competent with mechanics, specifically

outies, and my stepdad had a 2001 Audi A3.
