Anyone in Woodstock, Il. Area?

I think I would mail the titles to Nick along with a letter authorizing him to pick up the cars. Then Nick can bring a police officer with him and pick them both up. Show up unannounced. This guy is stealing your money and will probably steal what he can off the cars. Get back what you can now. I speak from experience by being ripped off by a slick talking deadbeat named Lipke from Castlerock Colorado. Ended up hiring a Private Investigator to find what was left of my car.

Charlie,

Thank you for the advice - sucks to hear that the same has happened to you in the past.

The problem I have is that only one of the cars is mine. The coupe that was sent there for final body work and paint is my car and the convertible I was purchasing from the shop so technically I guess I do not own it until I take possession of the car or title. I have paid for the car in full (only by the shop screwing me over) but the title was never sent to me.

I was assured by thier attorney that I would get a reply next week to my request to inspect the cars and remove my coupe if it was complete. I also demanded a check for the unused balance for work that I told them not to complete due to the circumstances.

If all goes well and the attorney sets a date for this to happen I think I will have Nick go there in an attempt to inspect my cars and remove if possible. Not knowing him but hearing the few comments from other people here I have confidence that he will properly represent my rights. The attorney asked about 3 times how many people I desired to send for inspection - I guess the owner must be aware of the fact that I have had enough of his bullshit and lies and will do what I have to do at this point to recover my propery and money.

Anything short of them agreeing to this I will take alternative measures to recover my monies and property. At that point I could care less if 50 guys go there and barracade them all in the shop until they come out with my cars and money.
