What do you do when items aren’t received?

Well, driving down and beating that ass is a sound option if you’re willing to put in the work and risk the pokey.

Was this across state lines? If so, it could be wire fraud. You can file a complaint but it might be too small fry for the Federals to bother.

Best option is call his local Sheriff’s dept or police and make a criminal complaint. It can get results. If he’s known to them you might be surprised how fast they pick his ass up.

 

Youre at least in the same boat I was; civil. This is a guess but Im confident that if you paid him electroncially from your state than that’s the jurisdiction with civil and criminal pursuits.

 

Did this guy used to work at Nomar? His face looks very familiar. Could have sworn I saw him a a couple of motorcycle shows in Chicago with NOMAR.

 

Yep

 

I knew it. Yeah he is pretty slick talking. Think I also raced against him back in the day.

 

Reminds me of the old line ," you know how I know he's lying? His lips are moving..."

 

Cat killer???

 

You lost me. I was going for thief, cheater, liar = hat trick/3 for 3.

 

Check your Beeb history.

Liar. Thief. Cat Killer.

 

Judging by the racing pics he posted on facebook, even his body position is criminal.

 

That makes me feel young for some reason! I'll take it.

My students were just telling me how old, tired and gray I look today.

NOTE: Wow - circa 2002. And I always felt like I'd accomplished something assisting in "ignorance being blinding" and of course "kinda superbikey". I am humbled...

 

Just turn off your hearing aid and you won't hear it again.

Chase, as we have been in constant contact throughout this, I took full responsibility for the issues. I assembled a group of parts for you, did not execute the final stages of getting them shipped ontime, and have offered full refund through the paypal claim process. At no point did I have any desire other than to connect you with some parts and lighten my burden of stuff sitting losing value. 100% my fault and 100% a ball dropped on my side of things. Please let me know what else I can do to be sure I dont impede progress with your build in any other way.

At no point did i text you to claim that I had no intention of sending the parts, I simply realized between my delays, your bike being at independent bike shop for repair and the frustration you have already had that the best option would be to refund your money. The email chain from today is listed below, please let me know where I can clarify or help. Ill say I still have this box of parts sitting on my desk and will gladly send you the parts that Im certain wont be of any issue for your mechanic at no charge. I apologize for the hassle.

Considering all of our recent conversations, I just want to follow through with appropriate claims process. You should be able to open a claim and then paypal will ask if I would like to refund, at which point everything will be on record and above board.

So why don’t you just refund my money before PayPal sends you information to collections

I am attempting to make it right, you have already stated you are in contact with paypal. Go ahead and complete that claim and I will respond through the appropriate avenues.

I just went to deliver the package to the post office, I found the box to have oil in one of the corners and likely something leaking. I am feeling like this is not going the way of being successful and already feel like I have delayed and hurt your progress.


As much as I hate it, I think the best thing to do is to have you file your claim. You are clearly frustrated and that’s fair. The only worse position now is we get half way into this deal with used parts at your mechanics shop, his feedback, your feedback and me stuck halfway less than confident on things resolving.


I don’t want to impede progress any further and don’t want to put either of us in a position of messing with Scotts workload or having further issues. I feel like a jerk as all I had intended to do was help connect you with some parts and experience from racing that bike and have done much the opposite. Let me know.

 

Sorry you are having to deal with a thief, but it did remind me of a similar situation. This was before the days of credit cards, probably in the 80’s One morning at Roebling Road we were all standing in line to register and by over hearing the conversation in front of me I realized the thief was standing right there with about $150 in his hand. Tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned around I took the cash, explained who I was and where I was pitted. He left early and I never saw him again. Sometimes Karma kicks you right in the nuts thanks for reminding me it’s been a crappy day and I needed that smile

 

I swear I'm having déjà vu.

 

Unicorn sighting?

 

No, I've only seen a unicorn once. This here is very real. I've seen that apology before, almost word for word.
