People are saying they should have accepted a deposit first. That would have prevented scammers.

Looks like the kid spent 16k dollars he didn't have, to put carbon fiber trim and lambo doors on a Celica. What. An. Idiot!

excellent, it has been a while since I heard a guy call another guy that.
And to think my wife claims all this time I spend here is a waste.

Apparently they did get a deposit. The original job was just a paint job, and they got a $1000 deposit. It ballooned from there, and they got sloppy and let the small deposit slide. It's easy to do that, in a small business.
This "kid" is a habitual scammer, though. He's apparently ripped a lot of people off for a lot of things, and is currently on probation for a conviction of fraud. So I'm not sure the shop had a chance; most places enter into a deal with the "ass"umption that the other party at least intends to be on the up and up.
Yeah, this kid is pretty much a looser and has very little chance of recovering his car. He should be more concerned about how he's gonna look to bubba when that bar of soap slips out of his hand in the shower...
Wow, what a complete dolt. It's idiots like this that make my life harder by insinuating that everyone under the age of 21 is an irresponsible scam-artist.
