I told you....HPD takes names...and no games.......... "Hey, aren't you the guy in the yellow Ferrari?"
Roy, Glad to hear things are going in your favor after this nightmare!! Hopefully this SOB will get what's coming to him/her. FerrariChat rules. T
Who's got Roy's cell number?? TomF1?? Anyone? He's flying in I could meet him and take him straight to the HPD Auto Theft....it's pretty hard to find, downtown..........somebody PM it to me..his office won't open for a few hours yet....
Never mind.....I left a message on Roy's cell.... I confirmed HPD has this awesome machine stored properly and I have the location.... I told "Officer Jackie" she'd better go downsatirs on break and "check it out!!"... ...and put the top back up......LOL! That's a he11 of a lot better than they handled the Miura wreck, although they DID think it was an Isuzu....for some reason...... That one was in the rain behind three rows o cars hidden against the fence off Harwin Drive...... *shudder*
If Global took $307,000 in cash, like in a duffle bag, they would have had to generate a federal forum (IRS form 8300). If they don't report this transaction to the IRS by the 15th day after the transaction they will be be in violation. More federal laws are broken here.
Yea, that may raise more questions than it answers! LOL! I think another post reflects Bill Of Sale at $307K with a $75K "cash in a bag" downstroke.... Still, as you say well past the $10K reporting limit..... I hear a scurry of paperwork shuffling out in Sugarland as Roy's plane flight comes in! I recommend he drop by HPD and sign for the vehicle first, then maybe convoy out to Sugarland.... I'm not calling the news as it's better handled quietly...hopfully no gunfire.....Houston is a pretty trigger happy place.. I hear clips unload at night, as I sit by the fire pit with a Booker's! I'm babysitting this 90# Bull Terrier...no worries!
I had a law professor in college explain the gun laws in the US. He gave the example that in New York you have to retreat until you can no longer retreat any further before deadly force can be used. He then went on to say that in Texas if someone is walking on your property, feel free to take a headshot. Same guy who gave us the advice that the first five rounds should go into the kill zone and to save the sixth round to shoot into the ceiling...after all you need to fire a warning shot.
Who said the Gang Bangers follow ANY laws? We have teen school kids getting iced in drive bys........I rid myself of the revolvers when my kids were born, but now they are teens I'm giving them back for Christmas! With a 'concealed carry' Class of course.... Anyway back to regularly scheduled White Collar Crime thread....... "Officer Jackie" has this situation "Under Control"....LOL! I wish Roy would call me, I'd love to see his face as he gets it back......
Lady Valeria's acreage in town isn't fenced...but the Surveyors clearly staked the corners! Actually my Ferraris stay in the drive most of the time, but after The Storms I had to hide them ......... I should have called GLOBAL MOTORCARS!!!!!!!
Ya know, If you guys need an extra hand moving cars, shuttling Roy around, let me know, I have nothing to do today. I'd kill just to get a look at that thing anyway.
Official Statement from Global Motorcars of Houston of events as it occurred: Monday December 4, 2006 Sale Price $297,000.00 negotiated on 2006 Murcielago faxed over from Kevin of Cats Exotic. Bill of sales dated and signed by Kevin December 1, 2006. Also from Kevin faxed over December 1, 2006 with the signed bill of sales, he writes: We will release the car to your transporter with signed Purchase Order in hand. As the vehicle was making its way to Houston, Global Motorcars of Houston received phone call from Kevin asking for us to wire payment for the vehicle. Since we have never done business with Cats Exotic we offered to overnight a cashiers check to pay for the vehicle as soon as we received copy of the title. Kevin would not accept this form of payment. He insisted on a wire transfer without sending us a copy of the title. We ask if he would feel more comfortable completing the transaction through Mannheim Online Exchange. He again would not accept. He was rude, short, and threatened that if we did not send the wire within 30 minutes he would unwind the deal. We again asserted that we can not and will not send wire payment without front and back copy of title. Kevin called the shipper and told him the vehicle was stolen and tried to reroute him back to Cats Exotic. Q: How does dealer A (Global Motorcars of Houston) steal a vehicle from dealer B (Cats Exotic) if dealer B signed a release for the vehicle to be loaded and shipped? *The shipper informs us he picked the vehicle at a residence, not a business location. We called Kevin after our first conversation to try to work out amicable payment arrangements. He said the title was locked up in a safe and Roy would not be able to send copy of title until Wednesday. We said Wednesday would be fine and we can wait until Roy returns on Wednesday to work out the details of our transaction. Kevin was not satisfied with our reply and hung up. Tuesday December 5, 2006 10:00am Kevin called the demanding to speak to John, Joel, our comptroller, any one of our Sales Rep. for payment on the vehicle. He made harassing statements to our receptionist every hour demanding payment. We again spoke to Kevin explaining that payment on this vehicle is not possible until we receive a copy of the title. We did not expect him to send us the actual title, just a copy of it. This was not an unreasonable request. Around lunch time, two officers from Stafford police arrived to our dealership stating Cats Exotics had reported the vehicle stolen. After showing Stafford PD our documents, Stafford PD informed us that all of our paper works was in order. No criminal act has been committed. The transaction was legal with supporting documents. We were issued a case number. We were also told by Stafford PD to contact Kevin and inform him that his harassing phone calls are to cease immediately and if Kevin had any questions he needs to contact the Stafford PD. We have overnighted to Kevin the case information given to us by Stafford PD. As the day progressed, Kevins actions became even more unreasonable and threatening. He told us that even if we were to send him the wire, he will never send us the title because he now does not want the deal to go through and does not want to deal with Global. From our prospective, we are doing business with a dealership in another state whom we have had no prior relationship with. The shipper informs us the vehicle was picked up at a residence, not a dealership. The representative from the dealership tells us that we are to immediately wire him funds without the vehicle actually being in our facility AND he refuses to send us the copy of the tile. How do we know HE didnt steal this car and is trying to SCAM us for money?? We did not feel safe to wire him the funds because if he was trying to scam us, he can take the money and run. Global Motorcars would be left without a title, without a vehicle, and without $297,000.00!!! Wednesday December 6, 2006 Cats Exotics faxed over the copy the title with NO reassignments and a Lien release date of 12-05-06. Someone from Cats Exotics called our dealership informing us they have reported the vehicle as stolen. At 7:00pm John, the owner of Global Motorcars, receives a phone call stating that our prospective buyers for the vehicle are in hand-cuffs, sitting on the ground next to the vehicle accompanied by Houston PD officers and 8 squad cars. Thursday December 7, 2006 Question to all dealers who are reading this thread: How would you feel if you found out that your customer whom just purchased a $300,000.00 vehicle from you was arrested falsely and in hand-cuffs, on the ground, being accused of driving a stolen car?? Neither John, the owner, nor Global Motorcars will lower ourselves to the mudslinging that this obvious small time supposed car dealer has initiated. We will let our team of lawyers do the talking for us. In closing we would like every one to know that if they should like to know any further details to please call us at our MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FACILITY and we would be glad to answer any reasonable questions. People need to know that there are GOOD, HONEST, CARING individuals in the high-line car industry, and anyone who has done business with us in the past will vouch our good standing. Thank you, God bless, and Happy Holidays!! P.S. Roy, I hope that 150 million dollars you told me you are worth is handy. You will need it.
RoyToy2003 Group: Multiple Lambo Owner Posts: 952 Joined: 25-January 05 From: Seattle, WA Member No.: 1,664 Thank you for your post. I can NOT speak to KEVIN'S words on the phone with you. THIS is the first time I have heard of these so called comments from Kevin. I WILL take full responsability if they indeed were made by Kevin. Kevin is MY EMPLOYEE and as such I am here to back his actions. I will speak to what I KNOW. In YOUR own documents you STATE, will wire funds MONDAY. You did not do this. Your resaon for not doing this is that you had no Title Copy. NO where does it say you require this prior to payment, HOWEVER I agree that is the norm in the business. BUT as you state, I was out of town and my EMPLOYEE Kevin is not as aware of these rules as I the OWNER am and should be. As has been repeated HERE by ME, (ROY CATS THE OWNER) why did you not call me direct, or have YOUR OWNER call me direct if you felt one of my EMPLOYEES was not dealing correct with you. I left numerous messages with no return calls. Yes, I was OUT OF town as all know. YES the title was in a safe and could not be secured to you till my return, YES, WE LET a $300K car GO to someone WE DID not know as well on THEIR promise to WIRE MONDAY........Looks pretty even here so far, maybe more to you.HELL YOU HAVE a $300K car. Not a promise WE will wire Monday and then change the game plan midway, AFTER OUR car was on YOUR HIRED TRUCK!! Yes, the car came from MY HOME, as it was MY CAR, out of MY garage. I am SURE John as MANY other Dealers take cars home from the Dealership everynight. NO WE do not have a 2 million dollar LOT. Yes I am worth approx 150 Million. (public record anytime) Yes send your team of lawyers, I will deal with what I have to if I was in error and take it the way any MAN should, lesson learned and on to the next.... FACT, the PD states the "SO CALLED" buyer is close friends and they FELT the deal was not a real sale. Please POST ALL INFO......INCLUDING your purchase and sale, deposite forms, checks, anything supporting this supposed SALE of the vehicle. Why were statements made to the PD, WHICH we AS WELL have copies by JOHN, that he had no intention of paying for the car and we could "come get it". But when we came Tuesday AM, the car was GONE. You were not there, John was not there all day, NOR any return calls to Me or th PD....? WHY, when this AM.......if YOU truly wanted the car and TRULY had a sale 'IN HAND" did you not complete the sale when I offered to you the HARD TITLE and the car this morning VIA the PD, AT A DISCOUNTED RATE to show for 'Our Both misuunderstanding"? After ALL the GOAL was and still is to make the CUSTOMER HAPPY......? Your response AS RECORDED in WRITING was, "No here have the car back" You signed releases to this with the PD. AFTER it had 120 more miles on it. Seems to me if you truly wanted to make your customer HAPPY, you would have completed this offer this AM.....? REALLY A SALE?????. But the whole sad thing with this is plain and simple My employees may have made mistakes. I take full responsability for that....... BUT YOU as a MULTI MILLLION DOLLAR company should have regonized this, AND called me direct.........PERIOD no if's and's or butt's....HAD THAT BEEN DONE WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY! I am sorry that it has come to this, but I stand behind my people, right or wrong, I may re-train and advise, BUT I do not throw employees under the bus. YOU should have returned my calls as THE OWNER when you KNEW the actions of the employee were in-correct. I think you took advantage of the whole situation and are now trying to back wash standing behind a paper error that COULD have AND SHOULD have been resolved with a SIMPLE phone call. I wish you the best in your future and hope that YOU have learned as much as I have from this incident. If you FEEL the need to pursue me in the courts, that is your choice........ BUT, warning my friend...... "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR" Respectfully, Roy L. Cats President Cats Exotics, Inc A small operation on LESS than FLOORED 2 million dollar property -------------------- If you just want to look, buy a poster, otherwise drive them they way they were meant to be driven! WWW.CATSEXOTICS.COM 1866-LAMBORGHINI
AND I OPENLY STATE here and now....... The car is STILL in Houston WITH the HARD Title. YOU OR your CUSTOMER are still welcome to the car CALL me if you wish to COMPLETE the transaction........ I CAN DO NO MORE
Thank You for your post. Welcome to Ferrari Chat Mods should probably merge this thread with the one in the Lambo Section. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131188
1. I guess being friends with you clients is not allowed anymore. 2. These customers have purchased over 1.5 million dollar worth of vehicles from Global in the past several months. Their decision to conduct business with Global obviously is based on the trust and faith they have in our company. 3. No police officer would make a comment about anyone joy riding in a car when they were, by your own words, parked in their house. 4. Joel (Global Head Buyer) spoke with Roy at least five times on Tuesday and Roy knew and instigated everything that occurred subsequently. 5. It is pretty weak to blames things on an employee who was just doing what theyre been instructed to do. 6. Roy, how can you have a title in your safe on December 1st if the lien release date from Chase Bank imprinted on the front of the title clearly states December 5th? You can not stop making yourself look bad! You still dont get it. People who know the facts and the ins and outs of how dealerships operate know you are lying. We at Global Motorcars hope the retail public can also see through your BS. F.Y.I. Actually our floor is less than 2 million . We paid for most of our inventory with our own money.
In view of the resolution announced in the other thread (which I am glad to hear about), is there any reason to keep this thread open? It seems that continuing to take positions over the issue by third parties (me included) is now pointless and counterproductive....
