I got an engine from him that probably isn't any good but at least got something and am leaving it at that. If you want to hire a private investigator to take the time to track him down be my guest but don't lay blame on the locals because you can't reach him, we have just as hard of a time finding/reaching him as you do.

I don't even know where he lives. He never has a place of his own so there is no way to find him that way, he never gives out personal information which makes it impossible to track him down also.
Me having stuff that I needed from him has nothing to do with telling someone else where he works because if I knew I would tell you. The only reason I got my stuff from him is he showed up to my house out of the blue when I had tried calling him numerous times previously and left numerous messages regarding the issue when he wouldn't contact me back. It was a miracle to say the least.
I knew he got his stuff, I was addressing his comment about how the locals were not willing to help, which I have been wanting to do for a long time but kept forgetting. You can only help someone if you have something offer them, am I right? How were we supposed to help wnwright if no one had any information to offer him.

You don't know what kind of person I am so you have no right to judge me by a post on a forum lol. Not that it matters anyways because I bet I will never talk to you or see you in my life but I am one of the most honest, trustworthy people you will ever meet.

And to clarify he never really had a shop, he worked out of his house which he has not lived at for a very long time and from my understanding the house has sold. So in short he had no shop, no residence, nothing to track him down with here.

I guess we all live and learn, I do hope that he is doing ok as I know he has been going through alot but I highly doubt I will ever hear from him again since the last thing he told me is he was moving to Mexico to live on a fishing boat.
All vital information is highlighted in bold...
Let me get this straight, as your logic seems flawed. (Don't take this the wrong way, just setting the record straight).
You say you know nothing, and you don't know where he lives, yet you tried calling him on several occasions? So you had a phone number? Interesting. Phone numbers can easily be traced to a residence, as you're required to provide one with verification of address, before you get a phone.
You don't know where he lives, but he's been to the bar with you and to your house for supper. Sounds like a true friend.
You know he didn't have a shop, and he was working out of his house. How do you know this? Did he come to your doorstep to pick up your motor that you received back all jacked up? Or did you meet him somewhere half way, which should have seemed shady?
You know your room-mate sees him, because he doesn't have a shop anymore. So which is it? He had a shop at one time, or he never had a shop???
In the same sentence, you also say that the last time he spoke with you, he was headed for mexico to be on a fishing boat... When did you find out this information? Why is this only now being mentioned? Does everyone that has parts due to them know this information? Do they have his number that you seemed to have called him on numerous times, without success?
