It appears to be his mom's house, from what he told me, and they got sued over a car that I believe she co signed for. Quote Selected
Real uneasy... Update 2/24/09 Reply #32 – February 25, 2009, 06:59:19 AM DO NOT CASH THAT CHECK!It is a part of a contract and since the contract was not fulfilled, you can not cash it. It has nothing to do with the cash you let the guy borrow or gave to him. You did not sell him the truck and you did sell it to someone else, that would make cashing the check illegal on your part.The best you can do is bring a civil suit against him for what he owes you (concerning the ticket).

To make more evidence that you were following up on things take the person from the bank's name down on paper when you verify. Also if you have the guy's number call him up to "Check on progress" him wanting to find a vehicle for a friend sounds shady to me. Was it a bad decision? Possiby but I figure you are stuck with it. If it does disappear you have the title and a check with his name on it I figure you'd have a pretty good theft case. Quote Selected

I did not think of it that way. I really havent gotten everything in order because it is all so F'd up. This is why I asked you guys. This also raises the question in my mind that since the ticket was dealt with the way it was will it cause problems? As far as how strong my case is and everything. The internet is a very powerful thing, as you can see from how I found his mom's house and that pic of him at it. So here is what else I a thinking. I do have freedom of speech (or thats what they tell us), and if I say within the guidelines of freedom of speech then I could use it to my advantage yet again. Word of mouth is strong. He "said" he does home improvement work, which would mean he scams customers. If I could prevent one case of that I would feel a little better. Quote Selected

I think you may have just been "too nice" you probaby wil have to chalk this one up as a bad decision. Learn from it, or better yet if this you off enough go down to his Mom's place and find out where he's at and confront him about it, bring a friend he may flip out (I don't recommend this option but its up to you).

Unless you find him in a dark alley on the bad side of town, your money is gone. Trying to get it back would just waste your time.I am starting to think that way. I keep finding more and more on this guy though. He has had a good share of trouble. Theft, Credit fraud, burglary, something else too. It is possible that he could have a warrant out as we speak. I would settle for seeing this douche get arrested over getting my money back. I am going to talk with my advisor tomorrow, maybe the Officer at the High School I graduated from, and then my buddies dad. I want to see what my options are to try and prevent this stuff.
