Yeah, they do that aswell, here. But there are ways around them taking the salary I had (not working ATM), and as for assets, shiiit -
have you seen Rust Cohles apartment in true detective?
I own a bunch of books, a computer that is registered in my dads name, same with the tv and stereo so they can't touch that shit - If they wanna take my paperback novels and worn clothes, my 20 $ bike or my acoustic guitar, be my guest. All I own, that I care about, fits in a a 110litre backpack and a single moving box. When I moved back home from abroad, thats what I brought with me. With gfs, whenever its come to and end, I've told'em to keep all the shit, save my books. I like to be able to move in an hour at any given time. And material shit is so boring.
I've seen shows how it works in the UK, for example - that shit don't fly in socialist scandinavia. They've been at me for maybe two years?
Suckers.
