It's been only about 15 minutes since the garage sale started and you've already sold most of your other items. The lamp is sitting all alone on the table, sticking out like a sore thumb.
You're about to head back inside to look for some other things to sell, when suddenly you hear a screen door loudly open from across the street. You look behind you and see your short-tempered neighbor, Earl, recklessly power walking across the street without looking both ways. His fists are clenched, and he's more pissed off than the time you let your lawn grow over 4 inches tall.
"You stole my lamp, you thieving prick! I've spent the past 5 hours looking for that thing! Didn't I teach you a lesson the last time you stole from my property?" Earl exclaims in front of several children.
"Earl please calm down." You reply, to no avail.
Earl fires back, "Don't tell me what to do, cunt! You're supposed to be the one listening to me! Give me back my property or I'm calling the cops!"
Earl whips out an old Nokia phone you didn't even know he had, and he looks quite serious. His shouting echoed throughout the whole neighborhood, everyone at the garage sale is looking straight at you two, even people from across the street are staring. The situation is very tense, and you need to respond to Earl's outburst.
