Lies, lies, and more lies, this man does not know the meaning of the truth. I took in two rototillers, a big one and a small one. The small one was a keepsake from my Mother, and had very few hours on it. The idler pulley, to engage the tines, had wore out and needed to be replaced. When I took them in he said it would be no problem to fix. and that he needed $100 in advance to get parts. The big rototiller needed new gas and the oil changed and was complete( nothing missing).
I took them in sometime in March of 2017. In April 2017 I, unexpectedly, had to go the hospital and have surgery. He called and said that the big rototiller engine was junk and not worth fixing. I told him to go ahead and fix the small one and to call when it was ready. Several months went by while I was in the hospital and rehabilitation. I called him and he said he had not gotten to it yet and that he would call when it was ready, but to my knowledge he never did. Every time I came to Chico I would stop by his place to see how things were going and to talk to him. After a few visits he starting getting loud and not to pressure him. He said he would get to it as soon as he could and that his son was working on it. He said that his son was on drugs. By now I could see that he was conning me so I started coming by more often. He kept saying don't come around just call him. When I called him it went straight to his voice mail. I was at another business and they said that they would not sell parts to him.
I finally had to resort to get 2 police officers to go out with me to pick up my 2 rototillers. When I got out there he demanded I give him another $100, in cash no check, even to see the rototillers. Reluctantly I gave him the $100 and loaded the rototillers in the pick up.I went down the road a little way and pulled off the cover of the idler pulley. He lied to me because he did not fix anything. He also stole the gas tank off the big rototiller. This man is angry at the world and should not deal with the public. I think this is a way of life for him. I personally think this man is a good candidate for fraud, extortion and larceny. read more
