10. Contact his voice mail directly! I gave him a polite reminder of how
"messy" this could get.

Call this number and press 4 for a directory then spell the last name followed by the pound key, followed by the first name followed by the pound key. A receptionists voice appears on his voice mail.

1-410-568-1500 (4) SMITH #, DAVID, # and yer in!

Hope the feds don't come a lookin' for me!
