Guys-

I did not want to post this publicly as I clearly allowed this situation to be resolved maturely, but it seems that both these posters have not. I'll try to be as clear and concise as possible. I wanted to public to know this and I'll be posting on all major forums that they are associated with. But here's a breakdown of the situation, in which I have PM's associated with this as well.

I will NOT edit any of my PM's as they will be purely what I have received from Justin (Post Script) and Ryan (Random Hero).

This is regards to my Work Meister S1's.

March 2008 Thread:
Show car sr20 240. Need to sell today. Make an offer.
-My roommate "xlstonex" sells his car to "Post Script". The inclusion of the Work Meister S1's on the car are not included. This is clearly stated in the thread and Justin "Post Script" has the option of purchasing the wheels with the car for an additional $1800.
-Car is sold, wheels not included. Wheels are on car until replacement roller wheels can be located and exchanged.

Time passes and xlstonex keeps in touch with Post Script to make sure wheels are going to be exchanged. I contact Post Script, next correspondence:
December 2008 Thread:
Wrecked to rebuilt S14
-Post Script wrecks his car and I inquire where my wheels are. Here are the PM's we exchanged, please note these are not edited at all and is verbatim.

That's cool. When I hear a car has been wrecked with my wheels, I get kind of worried.

He still has the wheels. Do you need them for rolling or something because I can come pick them up today or tomorrow and get them out of the way.

I DO NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO THIS PM. At this point, I acknowledge that he has the wheels and I can easily pick them up anytime.

I receive this PM from Random Hero the SAME DAY:
Hey Alan, did you want to sell those old Work Meisters that Justin has?

Just wanted to let you know I have an interest in them if you were willing to sell.

Thanks.
I do not respond to this PM as I am not interested in selling the wheels at all.

Fast forward, I noticed Random Hero's thread for his LS400 for sale. This thread WAS located in Vehicles for Sale right here on IA. The wheels that I see in the car looked strikingly similar to my car. Therefore, I post in that thread to make sure RYAN is not trying to sell his car with MY WHEELS. Random Hero adamantly reponds and says something along the lines of "Why don't you do some research before accusing me of having your wheels. Go pick up your wheels from Justin (Post Script)" This is not verbatim, but if any IA Moderator can reinstate the For Sale thread, that would be great. Here is the link to his Supraforums for sale thread:
http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=537126

-I apologize since Ryan "Says" they are not my wheels. Keep in mind, this is the same person who asked me to sell me THE SAME WHEELS, so I had every reason he was trying to sell stolen wheels.

-Ironically, the IA Thread is DELETED and he is no longer selling the car on Supraforums. This occurs the NEXT DAY that I called him out of having my wheels.

April 2009 Thread:
ATTN: Post Script

-I attempt to contact Post Script to get my wheels back ASAP. This thread was started on 4/29. I PM'ed Justin several times prior to the post.

Here is my first PM to Justin. This is on 4/25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got the wheels to swap out. I need my wheels back ASAP. Call me so I can get them today (Saturday) or Sunday. 678-910-6481

I receive 0 response from Justin, so I PM him 2 days later on 4/27, here is my PM, again verbatim, no editing:
Hey-

Did you get my last PM? Let me know, I need to pick the wheels up. Thanks

I finally make a public post two days later on 4/29. I bump the thread several times, and I see that Post Script PERSONALLY VIEW THE THREAD. I check his logged activity and my PM receipts. NO RESPONSE.

I PM Random Hero to give my number to Justin as obviously he is not responding. Here is my PM to Random Hero:
For some odd reason he seems to be ignoring me and I need to get my wheels back. I've sent him several PM's with no response.

Can you send him my number, 678-910-6481 or just PM his number.

Thanks.

Sorry for the mix up previously.
I am attempting to get in contact with Justin, I call him and leave him 2 messages via voicemail with my contact information both times.

I FINALLY RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM RANDOM HERO on 5/05. Here is the exact PM:
Hey Alen,

So after speaking with Justin for you, I find out that you were just ONE of the people who have had their hands on these wheels in the past. Come to find out, these were the same ones that were on my Lexus and I responded so brutality to you because you accused me of something that I had no idea about.

So, with that in mind, let me kind of start off by saying apologies for coming across that way, but I am just finding these things out today.

Now we reach our next issue - I sold the car Sunday as it sat. Justin had stated that you and him exchanged words back in November and had made arrangements for you to come pick up the wheels, but never showed up. I have no idea if you were buying, trading, whatever to get these wheels and honestly don't care. He also stated that he has had those wheels for a little over 1.5 years and that you suddenly pop back up and ask about them...?

This is what I'm trying to say - I cannot be held responsible for something that is between you and him, however I will tell you that I feel really bad about what has happened as this all was entirely a HUGE misunderstanding.

Justin's reputation does not need to be altered or anything of that nature if what he is telling me is true. It seems like you had enough time to get the wheels and squash this thing. I DO NOT think it's fair to hold someone accountable for YOU not taking action and picking up something that you're claiming to be "yours," esp after a year and a half. The only thing I know is where I got the wheels from - not who/where/what they came from before, please understand that.

I'm not trying to make this one sided or anything. I'd like to try and solve this like grown men, without the call out threads, name calling and that trash.

Get back to me, I'll talk to you like a civil human being and try and resolve this.

Thanks,

RH
Apparently, Random Hero's car was traded on Saturday, May 2nd with MY WHEELS on it. Here is my response to his PM:
This is not a huge misunderstanding, this is completely unacceptable. YOU PERSONALLY ASKED ME IF YOU WANTED TO BUY THOSE SAME WHEELS FROM ME. Please don't blindly tell me that you did not know these were my wheels. I can direct you to the thread that YOU posted in as well.

You and Justin need to call me TODAY to resolve this. You have two options. You need to A) Get me my wheels back or B) Reimburse me for their value. Justin is well aware of the additional cost that he had discussed with Landon for the wheels.

I will tell you that if this isn't resolved today, I'm going to file a police report for selling stolen property tomorrow. I attempted to contact Justin months ago to get the wheels, and he was WELL AWARE they were still mine. Just because a few months pass, the wheels are magically his.

My number is 678-910-6481. I suggest you call sooner than later.
His response, which he clearly knows are my wheels, he sends 2 PM's:
I asked you if I could buy the wheels because I HEARD you had a set - you never responded to me so I figured you weren't interested.

We'll resolve it, so I certainly don't think threatening is necessary.

Just out of curiosity, how much do you think those wheels were worth? You do know they were completely trashed...

I was actually going to let you know that I'd be MORE THAN HAPPY to pay you off Alen, but I think you are ENTIRELY misunderstanding MY situation.

I'm LOSING money from the lack of communication between you and Justin.

Lets agree on a price and put this behind us...deal?
Oh, and another thing -

You have to realize I sent you a PM explaining ALL of this stuff to you for a reason - to try and resolve this.

I'm not trying to make problems, I'm trying to make sure we are all taken care of in this huge MISUNDERSTANDING.

My response, I give him the opportunity to give me the same price i offered to Post Script:
I'm really trying to keep my composure and not just go off on so many different things that I know of. I'm not threatening you, I'm giving you an ultimatum. You do realize that you just sold someone else's property? I'm sure if you were in my position, you would not be happy.

I'll offer you the same offer that I gave Justin. $1800 for the wheels and tires OR get me my wheels and tires back.

This is non-negotiable.
I receive 0 response from this, so I text message Random Hero. Random Hero's response is as follows via text message:

this is between you and your roommate that let justin take the wheels in the sale. I have spoken with my attorny this morning and the only case you have is with him. I have been instructed to log all contact with you and if this continues then I will take action. all texts after this will be ignored. its between you landon and justin.
I respond via text with this
okay, if that's how you want to handle it. I will be filing a police report that you sold a vehicle with stolen goods
Apprently, he is still able to respond to my text with this:
the wheels werent stolen-landon sold justin a car with them on there "as is." you nor him never came and got them. why are you going after me?
We exchange some more texts. He admits guilt and now talks to an attorney AFTER how much I offered the wheels to Justin.

I wanted the public to know about this. I will reiterate that I have no edited any PM's, this is raw text. I have went ahead and reported it to my local precinct. This is absolutely ABSURD how ignorant these two are. I will post a cliff notes in the next post.

I ask IA to please look at all the facts and pass judgements yourselves.
