Hey sorry I’ve been busy. I mean I can’t really expand on anything that’s already known. The fucker left a lot of people high and dry. I’ve tried getting ahold of him and get nothing. Our “partnership” was more of a, I let him live in my house and do work. But the work I did was usually separate. With your skin that I admittedly fucked up.

If things got this bad for @TheRef I wouldn’t be surprised if all this stuff is rotting away in a pawn shop somewhere… unfortunately

Unfortunately, this is the case my 18s proto is probably one of the biggest things he has from what I’ve been told. Backstory about a year, back I wanted to build an 18s proto didn’t have the time to build my battery pack. So, I had Ted build it he was trusted by everyone and I saw he was a stand up guy. I had everything ready for my build the day the battery arrives it’s FAULTY! for some reason it wouldn’t charge he said he has to do something to fix it. I can send it he will cover shipping and he will make it right. Up to that point communication was fine with him no problems at all. w
When mounting my enclosure to the proto an insert popped out. I told him about it and since I was shipping the battery to him already in the enclosure he offered to install the new insert. I was like awesome thanks dude! So, I ship the deck and enclosure with the battery to him. Once, he got it things started going to shit! Almost, immediately the communication got spotty he explained he’s moving and going thru shit I was understanding. Until eventually he blocked my phone number and stopped responding to any means of my communication to him. I told him dude if you don’t have money to ship it back or if you didn’t do the work that’s fine I’ll pay for shipping and throw you some money ontop for your time. Aslong! as I get my proto back just an fyi that proto means a lot to me since it’s the last deck that the legend in my book @Sender fritted and did before he retired from doing decks. Last communication was January 29th,2023! Fingers Crossed​:crossed_fingers: We can recover my proto if not I’ll probably have to take the L and I REALLY!! don’t want to :confused::man_shrugging:

WOW! That’s over the top. Hurt my dog, my family, or my board and I could find myself on a cross-country man-hunt. You clearly put a lot of time and energy into personalizing and optimizing that ride.
That sucks beyond imagination. I feel for you @hoytkid. :frowning_face:

You should consider suing him in small claims court. He is literally stealing your personal property, on top of keeping money you paid him for work he didn’t complete. I’m not a litigious person, but Ted is clearly fucking you over pretty solidly here. I hope you get the proto back whatever course you decide to take.

Going to give it until next week to keep trying to make contact with him.

At that point I think we’re going to take a road trip and just start knocking on his door.

If that fails, before I leave I’ll be contacting the local DA and handing them the list of people he’s defrauded + what he owes, and let them handle it.

Based on the PMs I’ve received, there’s enough money and gear stolen + full documentation of it, that this will be open & shut. The situation is much worse than this thread alone conveys, this was blatant theft & fraud of over half a dozen people.

What the heck did you just say about me, you little poser? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Skateboard Academy, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on empty swimming pools, and I have over 300 confirmed kickflips. I am trained in ollie warfare and I’m the top shredder in the entire skatepark. You are nothing to me but just another scooter kid. I will grind you with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words.

You think you can get away with saying that weak sauce to me over the Internet? Think again, rail-grabber. As we speak, I am contacting my secret network of skaters across the USA, and your IP is being traced right now, so you better prepare for the storm, kook. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your deck. You’re going down, poser. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can do a tre flip in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare feet.

Not only am I extensively trained in flat-ground tricks, but I have access to the entire arsenal of skateboards at my local shop, and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable butt off the face of the skatepark, you little wannabe. If only you could have known what gnarly retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you dingus. I will shred fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re done, kiddo.
