My New Nemesis

Have you seen this ratfucker? She has my five thousand dollars. My $5,100 to be exact.

We signed a lease with her, gave her a security deposit and August rent, and then she vanished and quit returning our calls or emails. After a week of trying to get in touch, we stopped by her apartment yesterday, where we found another “renter” also looking for her. And then we found out about the article in the paper, and called the cops. (Actually, we had already called the police earlier in the day, who told us to close our bank accounts, which we did. We stopped at the apartment after a doctor’s appointment, on the way to our local police station.) The investigating officer said we were the 20th case. Which means she’d raked in at least $100,000. And that was before the thing really blew up. 

Our awesome DA let her out on bail and she was last seen on the 28th loading up a U-Haul. Now she’s fucking gone. With my money, and a lot of other people’s money. Her name is Rachael M. Smith—although she also used the name “Laughtner” as in “Rachael Laughtner-Smith.” (Here’s her Facebook profile.) Our only hope of getting our money back, apparently, is to take her to court.

I’d guess she’s about 5’7” or so, and weighs about 200 or so. (It’s hard for me to gauge weight, but she’s heavyset.) She has a tiny gray dog, I’m not sure of the breed, but it’s more than 20 years old and essentially lame. It was bleeding from the rectum when I last saw it. If you see her, please drop a dime. Contact SFPD Inspector John Monroe at (415) 553-1936

Side note: in the three bedroom apartment she showed us (where I now suspect she was a renter) she had one bedroom that was nothing but shoes. All the walls were lined with six foot high shoe racks, and completely full of designer shoes. So, you know, she may also answer to Imelda. 

Also: I should say I’m less concerned about getting the money back (though I want it) than I am about seeing her ass thrown in stony lonesome for a few years.

UPDATE: If it helps, her email address (one of them, at least) is ratesheet94121@hotmail.com and her cell phone number is 415-286-8257. Please don’t call her. But if if helps you track her, use it!

UPDATE 2: Were you a victim of Rachael Smith? I’ve been in touch with one other, and we’re going to try to organize a meetup one evening next week. Leave your contact details in the comments below if you’d like to attend.

Putting this out there to see if we can crowd-source justice.

 I’ll reblog a bitch. Here’s hopin’ you go down, wanker.
