Re: Corvette Shop does a ripoff parts switcheroo...
Yes Clark, and everyone will plead they know nothing. By the time you find out it is too late. Your parts are long gone and will never be found. Your only recourse will be to try and get back some monitary damages from the shop owner, but that may never replace your parts or even cover the costs to do so.
It's like you have been violated, taken advantage of. There are many things you can do to protect your home and, for that matter, your car while it is garaged there. But when you have to leave it in the care of someone else just on the basis of trust or faith - it sucks. Routinely, I don't leave my car anywhere that I can not keep an eye on it. Even then, at car shows or cruise-ins, I remove, change or lock up anything that could easily be taken, such as the gas cap and even my toll road transducer, etc.
