Below is a snippet from an article which came up in my Google Search Daily. It lays out events and nicely illustrates the unreality and potential for loss which come with the territory when dealing with a psychopath, in this case Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester. Was ever a number so well assigned by fate?
Look over the TIME LINE to see what Alex was doing during this period. He had succceeded to the title of Duke of Manchester upon the death. Instead of science fiction - fantasy they should make a movie from the Life of Alex, Duke of Derangement.

From Red Dwarf, and the movie
Naylor and the Duke agreed to meet, but then the Duke asked if Naylor could pay for his airfare and let him sleep on his couch.
Yeah.
However, after some research it was discovered there was in fact a Duke of Manchester (who knew?) and the family had moved to Australia at the beginning of the 20th century.
So, even that faint glimmer of hope was enough to convince them to keep on going. They asked to speak to the Duke's bank manager, but of course, he was a very busy man and couldn't possibly find time to speak a movie director on behalf of one of his multi-million pound clients.
They did manage to get the Duke to fax over a bank statement showing an account with 100 million US dollars (“completely faked of course”) and, finally, after he tried to convince them they were speaking with a famous Australian actress (“'I've got such a bad cold', she insisted, 'but I really am the famous actress'”) the dream finally plummeted...

Kimbolton.
The fourth Montagu job began while the couple was living in Irvine in early
2002. Alex became a security guard for Nordic Security and drove a patrol car
wearing a standard uniform. Excited by this, he became very wrapped up in the job. According to Wendy, Alex decided he was actually a police officer, buying extra
uniforms in addition to a pair of handcuffs.
The handcuffs were used on Wendy, one evening as Alex dragged her down the
hallway, bruising her badly during a disagreement. He lost the job because of an
altercation while on patrol at a movie complex area in Lake Forest.
Wendy understood the event which ended this employment was an altercation
with a woman manager at the Movie theater and the manager's boyfriend. Alex did
not confide in her further except to say he needed to break up a fight. He told
Wendy he was shoved and hurt on the job, evidently this resulted in a claim for
workman's compensation. Wendy believes the job lasted perhaps, a month.

was his longest and lasted nearly two months.
Alex
started training in November 2005 at Disneyland for the Indiana Jones
Ride.
Initially, he loved the work and made friends, occasionally having drinks after
work. But evidently this also meant he did not have the money to pay the mortgage
on the house they had finally managed to buy. After the family was evicted from the
home Wendy had made for them the family moved to Laguna Niguel. This occurred
around Valentine's day, 2006 while Alex was still working at Disneyland. This was the
last job except a possible short stint at MacDonalds on the fry machine.

The Duke of Manchester
"Whilst Naylor was in Australia, he got a call. The man on the phone claimed he had £60 million to invest in movies, and asked how much of it Naylor wanted. After careful consideration (“3 nanoseconds”), Naylor decided that £60 million would do just fine.Naylor and the Duke agreed to meet, but then the Duke asked if Naylor could pay for his airfare and let him sleep on his couch.
Yeah.
However, after some research it was discovered there was in fact a Duke of Manchester (who knew?) and the family had moved to Australia at the beginning of the 20th century.
So, even that faint glimmer of hope was enough to convince them to keep on going. They asked to speak to the Duke's bank manager, but of course, he was a very busy man and couldn't possibly find time to speak a movie director on behalf of one of his multi-million pound clients.
They did manage to get the Duke to fax over a bank statement showing an account with 100 million US dollars (“completely faked of course”) and, finally, after he tried to convince them they were speaking with a famous Australian actress (“'I've got such a bad cold', she insisted, 'but I really am the famous actress'”) the dream finally plummeted...
