"Fresno businessman James Makalian's lawsuit claims he's a victim of fraud and deceit after his ex-fiancee Nichole Grazioli (pictured above) broke up with him and then kept her $53,000 engagement ring and Hummer SUV that he bought for her."

[Enterprise]

A guy gave a woman a hummer? Who knew?

[svcw]

Hum? I think CA law is that if the man breaks the engagement the woman keeps the ring, if the woman breaks the engagement she has to give it back.

[Lazamataz]

Not good enough for all that.

But I'd still hit it.

[yarddog]

He is probably lucky.

If they had married she would have then really taken him to the cleaners.

[the invisib1e hand]

umnh...uhn...she probably doesn’t look half bad in the right light, and without such garish surroundings.

[Sybeck1]

Ack, maybe if its 2 am and “It’s Closing Time” is being played by the DJ, and you are doing your last walk through.

[Arm_Bears]

Golf ball . . . garden hose . . .

[Enterprise]

Whew. I was leaning to hittable, but you eased my concerns.

[Enterprise]

They are talking about it now on KMJ. As I understand it, it doesn’t matter who breaks the engagement, the man can still get the property back because they were given in anticipation of marriage.

Dude. You paid for the cow, before you got the milk for free.

Or something to that effect.

Bottom line. You are an idiot. Hope you learned your lesson.

[GeronL]

first off, its a gift. I expect he had to pay gift taxes on that stuff. ouch.

Second, dude is a moron. Save the expensive rings and stuff for the actual wedding!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Poor guy, I got off easy, she only stole my kitchen curtains.

[Enterprise]

The local talk show brought out information that she was engaged in another relationship, so the guy broke off the engagement. He might be considering himself extremely lucky about now.

[Sacajaweau]

Why such ridiculous laws?? If the engagement is broken...the ring goes back??

Lucky guy....He escaped with his life. Saw the preview on CIS.

So far, after reading all the other posts, it is fairly obvious that none of them went to the link and read the article.

It only had TWO MORE SENTENCES.

The most important one of all, was this:

“She says her client is suffering because he doesn’t know if she loved him or his money. “

[ibytoohi]

This definitely comes under the heading: WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?

[Enterprise]

The guy is supposed to be 45 years old. Kind of late in life to be learning these kinds of lessons.
