How many times have you been ripped of in a car or parts deal???

I don't get it. How can someone take parts you provided, then build an engine with them and sell it, and have police do nothing about it? There's no difference in that and if he walked into your garage and stole them! Did you take pix before they were shipped, have a UPS tracking number, etc? Any sort of proof that he took possession of your engine parts? This is crazy!

Some of the parts drop shipped from the supplier and some from me personally. He basically said the labor he already did was worth the parts I sent him. So in his mind he gets paid twice, once for the labor he did and then again for the sale of the engine. His YouTube channel immediately locked all comments so others wouldn't see he was a thief. I posted photos of his work here and some members asked me to question some parts use.. which I did... and he immediately became insulted and combative. My loss his gain, but I gained knowledge of how not to go about anything like that again. Here is the video of my engine done WITH my parts on it.
