Its a long read but well worth it.

Cliff notes:
-Scammer sends his car to a tuner shop to get major work done. ($16k worth)
-Doesn't pay and tries to steal the car back.

Really stupid kid right there.

Posted by the owner of the shop.

He showed up today with his mother, his girlfriend, and an Ocala Police Officer. Originally the Officer told me that I had to relinquish the car to the mother once she showed current registration and a government ID.

Well after a few phone calls the STATE ATTORNEY'S office informed him that I can keep the car until a court issued affidavit says otherwise. JUST LIKE I HAVE BEEN SAYING SINCE DAY ONE.

The State Attorney' also said that a lien goes into effect as soon as any work is started on the car. I was also told by them that they would have to file a bond in the total amount of the invoice before court proceedings will take place. TOO BAD THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A BOND!

So after the SA Office informed the officer of the law and how it is to be enforced, no insult to the officer, the officer informed Joe, his mother, and his prostitoddler girlfriend that they needed to pound sand. They apparently went down to the SA and the courthouse and are trying to sort things out right now. Once again, TOO BAD THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A BOND!

Stupid fucking kid I say.

This is turning out to be more entertaining than The Claw episode.

The kids a jack ASS for sure.

What? He's from Ocala lol, who the hell boosts an automatic celica? hahahaha, i hope he does get the car back so I can laugh at him

Also i think a network should pick up this story. Not just for the simple fact of getting this scammer but more so for how the whole car community, internationally comes together as one to help someone out! I think the car community deserves some good PR for once as opposed to only stories about street races and loud stereos. This thread shows the true colors of the automotive community.

I am gonna have to agree with this random guy. lol

hang him

Well after reading all 70 pages of that, The shop that did all the work is closed till they get the money back as they were a brand new shop and sunk alot into that car hoping it would help them take off and get known. Knowing that I really hope this kid gets what is coming to him.

Ya I heard about this somewhere else too, crazy stuff. Fuck the kid though, it's his own fault he's in that situation. He ordered up $16K worth of work, knowing that he couldn't afford to pay any of it. What did he expect? Jesus was going to come down from the sky and write a check?
