Where the hell is Jim?
My good friend and employee Jim Thorgesen disappeared three weeks ago. Jim rented a room from me in my office building and worked full time for me doing painting, demo work, drywall, and a million other odd jobs. He left his keys on my desk and all his things (as far as I can tell anyway) and just took off. He had worked part of the day on Tuesday but was already gone when I showed up at the job site. I didn't think anything of it, the toilet was removed so I figured he went to go poop at the gas station or something, and then I got busy working and he never came back. Later that night I stopped at the office to check on him, and he was gone and the keys left on my desk. No note, no nothing. I searched his computer, nothing really. No flight tickets or anything. He told someone in second life he was going to El Salvador, but I don't think he would have the resources to get there, that was just some role playing I think.
Whats strange is the day before, he had asked if it was ok if his ex girlfriend could move in with him. I said it was fine, but I had also tried to be a friend and played devils advocate and asked him how it was going to be different than the last time, etc. So I wonder if he got to thinking about what I had said and got scared and ran off? He ran off for a week one other time, left without saying anything. He went down to Missouri looking for a job, hitch hiked down there with no money, no car, nothing. He ended up in jail for telling off a cop when they questioned him for hitchhiking and spent a few days in jail, lol. Then he takes a taxi home with the money he collected talking to people hitchhiking who felt sorry for him.
Whats weird is in my opinion, things were looking up for Jim. I gave him a raise a couple months back with more promised with each house we got done, plus I promised to buy him a little house next year, provided our house flipping goes well. Plus his girl wanted him back and was coming with some income from disability, etc. So it baffles me why he would take off.
I'm offering a reward for any info leading to contact with Jim. I can't afford much right now but I'll pay $250 if anyone can tell me where he is or how to get ahold of him. Contact me by emailing joel at 4drulers.com
