When I was working at the post office, I kinda had a reputation of being a loan shark, must be an Italian thing. Whenever someone lost a bet with their bookie and needed money, I would get the call. I had the best interest rate at the post office because I usually got collateral. Whether it was a car title or a motorcycle, it was coming to my house. I've had a Rolex President and a 3 carat diamond solitaire, in my care. Being single has been very lucrative in my 61 years. After I retired from the PO I thought all the lending would end, but then I ran across a Veteran who needed some help. He was trying to sell all his weapons to fund a funeral for a loved one. I private messaged him on the selling page he was advertising on and offered to lend him the $3000, if he would trust me with his seven long guns. It didn't take him long to message me back for more details. After I explained to him my terms, he accepted and we met at the bank, had a notary sign an agreement, transferred his weapons to my car and I gave him the cash. I put them in my safe and didn't hear from him for six months. He called me when he had money, we would meet and I would put it on his account. Every $1000 he repaid, I would give back a weapon, sometimes two. It took almost one year to the day, for him to get his seven weapons back. Sometimes trust is your only option!

Here's my last two days of quest reward cards:
Indeed, many Italians made lots of money loan sharking. Though, they got a different form of collateral. 😉
At least you made a profit in the process and the guys got his guns back. ;)
Sometimes that's what it takes
