When you purchased via paypal. did you have a paypal balance or did it come out of a credit card or atm card. If it came from a credit card or ATM card, call your financial instution and tell them what happen. Most banks and credit cards have buyer protect for things like this. Worth checking out.

call his local police office

even better idea, call a local taxi cab company, and tell them to delivery a message to that address. It could be something like this, " Hey you, how are things going, GIVE ME MY DAMN WHEELS, LOTS OF PEPOLE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE NOW< MOWWOWAAAAA, thanks, have a nice day!" something like that maybe. OR perhaps, "hello, could I have my wheels i paid for, or could i have my money back please, thanks!?

Hey, even if this person is having troubled times, or whatever. It's still no excuse for taking someones money and not giving them what they paid for, and then be all dodgy about it later on. Come on --somethings up with this.

I say that a Focusfest Caravan should take a detour to that guys house....I wish you luck getting your rims back...

You bring up a very good point. I paid most of it with my credit card via paypal. I'll see if they can do something about. That may take care of it on the financial side, but I'm sort of on a mission from the moral standpoint. I just want Mr. Reed to admit to his wrong doing if you know what I mean.

Also: a Pic


EDIT: sometimes the internet is scary.

WOW, that is pretty scary that you were able to find his address on the internet!!
Now, I reverse-searched the address to see who currently lives there on www.whitepages.com. Guess what, I got 5 different names, but no Jodie M. Reed!! It seems like this is an apartment building rather than a house. From his email, the wheels/tires were stolen out of his "garage" so that implies he lives in a house unless this apartment complex has a garage for tenants. Can we zoom in on the picture a little more to see if his gray '07 ZX3 is in the parking lot?
