Transcription (of iMessage exchange):
“Hi, is this Paul?
Who is this
This is Erica from the dentist's office. I got your number from your file
Pretty sure this violates Hippo but shoot your shot I guess
I'm not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”
I'm trying to figure out what X-ray equipment can be stolen that is worth only thousands of dollars. A case of those films you bite on when they x-ray your teeth?
And why, if you have photographic evidence of grand theft, you’d text the person who stole with just “this is Erica from the dentist office.”
I have a feeling this internet person is making stuff up.
You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?
And to think someone might post a comment on lemmy and capitalize every word! Nobody makes stuff up on the internet. Nobody capitalizes every word in a sentence. Sheeple will believe everything these days
She wants to make sure this criminal knows her name and number personally
Because she saw him on video and she thinks he's cute. And she also doesn't value her safety and privacy. It all checks out. This story is totally credible. /s

But what about the hippopotamus?
I could see that happening in a small town "please just return our equipment"
Try that in a small town.
Awwww. I love wholesome “Try That In A Small Town”.

Nah this is real I was there
Trust me im a dentist
I can collaborate this story as well, I was the hippo.
Yeaaah probably fake, but given that it could be easier to just get it back by asking rather than rescheduling patients, dealing with the police, and waiting for insurance to cover the expensive equipment it's... possible that this is legit (probably not, but possible)
