If I were driven to a point where I was desperate...I might take more illegal action. But only after I exhausted my resources.
Friends, other family...hell, the bank...I might go to them to see who I could get help from first. Proof that you needto surround yourself with solid relationships, with people who are good for you...
...But in the event I didn't have that, blackmail and extortion is lookin' mighty good...
