Yes it is fairley close to me. But I am going thru a devorce right now and my wife is acusing me of being angry and violent just because I lift weights and work out on a body bag. She is trying to get the kids from me. So I would hate to drive up there and have somthing bad happen. If I do not get my stuff from him I will eventually after everything cools down here. What a bummer this has turned out to be.

Nope. He's stopped all communication now. Last contact said he shipped it but has refused to give tracking numbers. Shipping date was said to be on the 24th of August.

Thank you for the link. We were in the process of contacting the local sheriff office, but I was looking for something like this (or even the US Post Office.)

Well My brother knows someone in the petaluma pollice office. I called them and there going to try to help but we have to do by the book. So I had to notify the police department in my town first to file a report. Then they will get ahold of the petaluma office and go have a talk with justin. My uncle is also an attorney in the bay area. He is sending justin a court order of some kind and I am suing him in small claims court. This is gonna end up being a big problem for justin. It is too bad he tried to pull this on us. I hate getting someone in this kinda of trouble. But who knows who else he might be ripping off too.

So it makes it okay if it wasn't premeditated? What he is doing is wrong and its fraud. Obviously he is being a coward and ignoring these people so I don't feel sympathy for him at all!!
Not to mention lots of people here donated to his Africa Trip!!!!

I know Rob well enough to know that he wasn't implying that it's "okay" because he "didn't mean to do this." He's just drawing a distinction. To be honest, both of us are shocked. We keep looking on our porches to see if he actually shipped the things. But when it comes down to it, I have to create this elaborate situation in which it would make sense for him to what he's doing with no intention of screwing us. On the other hand, the easiest explanation is that he has no intention of shipping our players or returning our money. Sucks too... seems like a nice guy.

Now that we've both contacted him (last week) saying that we have no other option but to assume he's screwing us and that leads us to contact the authorities, I see no way in which he can think it's no big deal.

It's such a great feeling to see other RioCars come up for sale (even ones with no drives like I was looking for) but not being able to afford one because you already dished out 200 bucks to some dipshit. Yep, it's just great.

He will get his. Possibly the other guy ( Thrasher ) can make a personal visit w/ the police? Have you filed complaints and what not? It will take some work and ph calling but you should be able to get him in trouble or get your $$ back.

Well the police will not get involved. They said I would have to sue him to get my money back. I emailed him agian last week to try to get him to do the right thing and send us are stuff. Believe it or not he replied and said he is just really lazy and has not shipped it to us yet. Two months later still waiting. He will get his one way or another. If I were him I would hate living my life always looking over my shoulder.

The police have to get involved. Keep bugging them and filing complaints. There was a guy before who didn't deliver empegs before and he got arrested. So this would be no different.

If it was over a thousand dollares or is it two. Then they will get involved. I will give it another try and keep bugging the petaluma police office and see what happens. Thanks for the idea.

I wondering if I have a special case since I was robbed over state lines. Loren, have you run into him at the skate park? I don't want to get you involved, but we'd really appreciate his help and any additional pressure.

If the money was sent via post, you may be able to complain via the postal service, too. That makes it mail fraud, which the post office can investigate -- they take a very dim view of people perpetrating mail fraud. Typically, people recommend sending the mail via priority post, or something like that, which generates a paper trail (can't remember exactly), along with a description of what the payment is for, but if you've got emails, that might serve, instead.

I haven't run into him. He didn't show last time he said he'd meet me there. Not sure what I can do. If i showed up at his doorstep and tried to act threatening it would just be humorous... i'm not all that intimidating. Wish i was.

Maybe a chat face to face might explain to us all why he's acting like this. It may also drive home to him that he's doing something really wrong.

Maybe set up some scripts to e-mail his work/home e-mail address every few hours or so.
Adopt some spamming techniques to get past his spam filters.. random words from a dictionary.
IM bots too, so when he comes online he gets slammed with "Why did you take my money" IM's.
Got his cellphone number? I'm sure there is a way to text message it. It probably has an e-mail address.
There are other shadier things I'm sure you could think up.
