Essentially they did steal it. They just decided to "throw it away" after taking ownership of it.

Don't prove it to them, have them charged with theft.

You will probably get your money back at least... You should also file a complaint with your local DMV. If Whip factory is a registered repair shop they can go after them for you in some cases.

Did you sign a piece of paper that had fine print on it? If so check it for items left at the shop for longer then X amount of days.

Agree with this. If that clause is on yor paperwork, you are SOL. If not, go for some restitution.

So they had if for 7 months or more? You were expecting them to hold it?

^ legally they have to, unless you have signed a disposition form for them. They are also entitled to charge you storage for parts.
