éclare jamais perdu pour en avoir un autreJe ne suis en train de rien essayer, je suis un être humain respectueux et je ne sais pas ce que vous essayez de faire ! Alors, s'il vous plaît, ne me dites pas tout ça, d'accord ? Préparez simplement le document et je dois vérifier la présence du chien. Et la police est au courant que le chien est manquant, ils savent que vous m'avez donné le chien et le document que vous avez signé est là, donc la police doit être informée que vous avez retrouvé le chien, car ils veulent le savoir. Vous devez rédiger une autre déclaration pour dire que vous avez récupéré le chien de ma part, je suis en route pour le commissariat. La police est au courant puisque c'est eux qui m'ont ramené Havane à mon domicile donc c'est vous, je ne comprends pas ce que vous vous essayez de faireEt peux tu enlever l'annonce que tu as poster sur Facebook stp this is all our convos by text
