Really? That's just BS. They don't need to contact a lawyer, they need to contact Lon and pony up the parts or cash. All other actions are nothing but diversion tactics. Had he returned the parts or paid for them - this would have been a closed case by now and not going viral any more than it has gone already.

Someone else can call. In fact every good member (or guest) should. I'm sure everyone has a couple of spare minutes on their cellphone

Just in case anyone else would like to drop Mr. Hong a line of encouragement to come to his senses.

On the civil side, there should be a breach of contract case and an claim for return of goods on an implied bailment theory.

My guess is that the shop is not entirely innocent. They let the guy sell the car in their lot, providing a false suggestion that it was a legitimate deal. Also our boy probably removed the car's equipment using Paragon's equipment and shop.

I think you can file lawsuit or small claim. I suggested you keep everything you got. the original advertisement, copy of your check so I believe you paid $33,000 and every conversation between you and that guy. Send him an email ask him to ship them to you or you will file lawsuit for it. Because the original advertisement is a good proof that what is for sales. Good luck!
