Yes, the Sheriff's office did the same thing for me. Claimed they knocked on his door for a couple days straight and they wouldn't answer the door.
Now i have filed a few claims. One with my local police. One with my state police. Also one federally. The only one making efforts to help me is my state police. But i will give that number a call Dangerous, hopefully someone can help me. I cant really a ford to lose 3 engines. But then again, he sent me pictures of motors/cases/parts that weren't mine. Verified it by checking the serial numbers.
But thanks for the help/info dengerous. I will give him a call around 12 noon their time. Cheers man.
