What would you do in this case?

  1. Seek criminal prosecution

  2. File a suit in small claims court for $2,500.00

  3. Get him to agree to make me payments

  4. Let it go

    Hey Peter... What'z up? I thought this thread of yours had died... I'm surprised that you got some $$$ from Wayne. WOW! Now where is this scumbag is living & working.. "I meant screwing folks"? I'm a bit surprised Wayne wasn't floating in a river by now from all the people that he screwed. I wish I could get Wayne to pay for the spare tire that he stole from me just before he disappeared… which he had the nerve to come in my garage when I had my garage door open and then he opened my hood to take back the spare (new rim & tire) I made him replace when he sold my spare without me knowing about it which I heard all his lame excuses about why it was missing. I still haven’t been able to replace it… I can’t locate a 16” QV spare rim which is nearly impossible to fine, even on Ebay. Last Thursday, I went to Wayne’s old shop… next door is First Street Smog, which I had to get my Ferrari done. Jim the owner and I were talking about Wyane, and the two times I had to call the police for assistance to get Wayne to fix my car … I still hate going there.

    I'd tell you where he lives and works, but in order to continue to collect on a judgement, it's helpful that the person stays alive:D

    Wanna bet? There is something called fraud, and you can make that claim in bankruptcy court and then he'll never get rid of the debt, and with a federal judgment, can just move out of the state.

    Hi PeterS,

    I think I am the first one that got took from Wayne in 1991-1993, there was so many others, you could have filed a class-action lawsuit from the 1st shop in San Ramon.

    Long story,

    I just read your post. I wish I had know you in 2003. I would have gone to court with you. If you have a phone # I will call you, It will be a good one. You won't believe the story. I got took for about $50,000.00
