00:00Ms. Ferguson, this is your father.
00:02Yes, ma'am. Your Honor.
00:05And you claim that your father has some valuable pieces of antique and paintings that belong to you.
00:13Yes, ma'am. Yes, Your Honor.
00:14And he said that he made a loan to you. Is that right, sir?
00:19Yes, ma'am.
00:21One of many that he's made, but the last loan was $2,000. When was that made, sir?
00:25That was made on May 23rd, 1995.
00:31And that these things were given as collateral for that loan?
00:35No, Your Honor.
00:35Is that right?
00:36That's right.
00:36No, Your Honor.
00:37Okay. So why don't you tell me how your father came into possession of your things?
00:43I had purchased a home, and I rented a truck. The truck broke down.
00:50I took care of an elderly stroke patient six days, six nights.
00:55I was out of time, out of desperation.
00:58I had rented trucks many other times.
01:01Come on, just tell me. Let's get to it, please.
01:02Okay, I'm so sorry.
01:03Anyway, I asked him. He agreed.
01:06You asked your father?
01:06Yes.
01:07To help you.
01:07He owns a trucking company.
01:08He agreed.
01:10I never saw my things again.
01:13That's not what you say in your complaint, madam.
01:16That's not what you say in your complaint. You don't say that you didn't get any of your
01:19things. He says some things were missing.
01:21The things that he took from his truck, I never received. You want to respond to that, please?
01:27Yes, Your Honor. I own a trucking company. Dana lost her house in Woodland Hills, or Agorah Hills.
01:36She got thrown out. She asked me to store this material. I had stuff in my warehouse for over
01:42three years. She bought a house after she had a settlement. I sent seven loads of her stuff.
01:53I give her a little Toyota pickup truck to take a walk through my warehouse to take anything that
02:00she thought was hers. How much after the move did she come to do the walkthrough and you sent
02:09seven loads of stuff to her house? It was within weeks. And how long ago was this? Oh, this was
02:13two years ago. Is that when you moved? No, Your Honor. When did you move? I moved in October of 1994.
02:22Okay. Just a second. Put me off. Just a second. I'm sorry. 1994 is when this happened. So we're
02:30now talking four years ago almost, right? Four years. Yes, Your Honor. Now, he says that he stored
02:35stuff for you. He did not store. There was never permission to store. I never... He says that he
02:43sent seven loads of stuff to your house. Never came to my house. Just let me understand this. This
02:48happened in 1994. Yes. Right? Now, when did you borrow $2,000 from your father?
02:56I borrowed money from him on May 23, 1995. I was under the impression he would still relinquish
03:03all of my items to me. I had no inclination that he would ever... What father would steal from their
03:11daughter? What did you need? Hey, just a second. He's not suing you. You're suing him. You know what
03:14father would steal from their daughter? I'm not sure whether he did. What I want to know, madam, is
03:18why if he had your stuff in 1994 and you didn't get your stuff in 1994, so you were angry, I assume,
03:30right? You know what? I wasn't angry. He kept telling me that I would get it. He couldn't get a truck.
03:37I kept offering trucks. It was like one excuse. You don't know this man. One excuse after another.
03:43I don't know him, but you know him. Listen to me. I don't know him, but you know him well enough.
03:46You borrowed another $2,000 from him. I didn't know him like that. Tell me about the $2,000 that
03:50you borrowed from him. Well, he must have trusted me to do that. I trusted him.
03:56Ms. Ferguson, why did you borrow $2,000 from him? I borrowed it out of necessity.
04:04Well, for what? What did you tell him? Tell me about it. You called him?
04:08I called him. He said he's going to need more copies of my appraisals of my pictures.
04:16He wanted something else as collateral. He said that what he had...
04:21Just a second. We didn't get to the collateral yet.
04:23Okay.
04:23You called him up and said, I need money.
04:25Right. He said...
04:26Well, tell me about the conversation, madam. Slowly.
04:29Okay. I'm trying to...
04:30Called him up and you said, I need money. Right?
04:33Bye.
