You my friend are way too generous. Unfortunately that makes you an easy target for cons. This guy was probably cool to you for so long as the ride was good. I would bet he sold your 50 and spent the money or at least someone else is paying him for the work in hopes that they will be buying it soon. Too many things that seem to work out in this guys favor more than yours. Wake up man and see this for what it is, A mechanic who gets to sell others stuff and take a profit. Not a bad gig.
The best thing you can do, is go to his shop and see for yourself what is going on before things get blown out of proportion.
My personal feelings are that a Real friend would not publicly Slam any Friend without doing a face to face first with said Friend. As far as you know he could be laying penned under your car waiting for Help. What's up with you? I wouldn't get pissed or be crying first, I'd be curious and take charge of the condition I created. The Wizzard
Iv called him 5000 times hes fine the shopes locked up everytime of day i go over there. and dont worry I dont need any tissue
So you gave this "friend" all your **** and he sold it for big bucks and ****ed you out of the money..... ....you do know where he lives don't you? Once burned, twice shy my friend. It's time to get the trailer and go get yours **** but, I bet this guy is gone like the wind. I think I've heard this scam before, about 6-8 months ago. I'd turn off the computer and hit the pavement.
I agree, get a friggin trailer and some bolt cutters.Go get your ****! I had a guy take an old beater for me to fix the ******.All I heard from him for 6 months was I'll get it done don't worry....well screw him. Went with a couple of buddies and got the car.End of story.Dave
i had a similar experience, my friend got involved with drugs, was getting money however he could. he was a good friend to me before the drugs, he is dead now. died christmas morning two years ago. if this is your friend go find out whats wrong.
He did work on your car you didn't authorize He's not gonna be in business for long if he keeps that up. Makes me wonder about your signature... Vance
im not saying i talk to him Im saying I know hes fine I have a buddy that bought his bike from him hes going through the same **** . Can't get the bike already paid the guy 95% of the money weve known this guy like 10 years. Its coming as a surprise to both of us.His cars are always moved when you go by the house. You know the one he wont answer the door to!
I think I'd go over there with one of Clarke County's finest just to shake him up. Certainly you know at least one officer that would be willing to stand behind you for that short amount time. Vance
Some people are like that, if your worried get your stuff back and cut your losses but do it in person face to face with him, Just because he may be a chicken **** doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to that standard. Big Tony
Maybe I'm missing something here or had one two many sanity pills, but why haven't you just gone over there with some buddies and kicked his ****ing *** and taken your stuff back. Damn man, are you on something or what. He sounds like a thief,,,not a friend.
I'd go tell him just what you told us. I'd also ask when you are getting your HALF of the profit from the caddy. It was yours. Sounds like he's taking you for a ride...
Had a guy like that with a car i was working on,actually my frist set of wheels a 1973 AMC Javelin and this biker dude i playe dguitar with promised me the moon with this car and it and all my **** was at his house Then he split up with his ole lady,hauled *** and his ****in crack head son started selling my parts.i barely got half my **** back.
like has been said get with the local pd and go get your **** back. you don't owe him **** if anything he owes you for all the other ****. hell if you need friends that bad i'll be glad to hang out with you and take half of the profits from **** you sell. do you give him half your paycheck to? you've been WAAAYYY to nice to this **** bag. it doesn't matter how long you've known someone PEOPLE CHANGE. and usually it's in the blink of an eye and it usually has backing reason behind it. a woman, drugs, etc. this guy may have been a friend once but a friend doesn't pull that **** that he's pulling now...ken....
Get a trailer go to his house and get your stuff back,and don't settle for later.Tell him you want it NOW!If all else fails kick his ***.
this is vegas...remember anything can happen here...if you havent seen the car in a bit id be a little worried..

The guy (Im not sayin names youve noticed because I dont know the whole storie yet) said he was almost done with car Iv told him take yer time and thats fine. but hes been giving "finished" times and its way past due I wouldn't even care if hed just call or write smoke signal whatever well ill keep you all informed.
Uhhh... Dude you never tell someone take your time when it comes to your car because most will take there time and yours too and more than enough of it. I know you want him to do a good job but you came on here and complained and now tell him take your time, it's ok. Man you are doing this to yourself. Now go get your stuff.
May be the Dude was in jail not going to be answering the phone and his old lady wont answer the door because he has a hole bunch of pissed off gear heads looking for him. Just a thought.
