Calling any Chicago area member for help
Well the time has come to take action against a forum scammer. Sadly, I am in CA, and he is in the Mt Prospect area. If you haven't seen what happened, here are a few links.
Original for sale thread
He disappeared, his apology thread
Verifying that what he sold me was not what was advertised
The short story: I purchased a t25/28 hybrid from him. It arrived in a box 5 times too big with no padding, and took lots of hits, breaking various parts. He wouldn't do anything about it. Finally got around to getting the turbo inspected, and then found out that the hybrid turbo he sold me was really just a t25. He continues to maintain that the part was sold as-is, and it wasn't his part, it was a friends, so he is not responsible. I just updated the apology thread with a text conversation I had with him.
So if there is anyone in the area that can help out, or knows him, it would be greatly appreciated. At this point I want to proceed with legal action in small claims court. As I am not from the area, I am unsure about where to start. So if you have any experience in the matter, or wouldn't mind making a visit, I would be very grateful. Here is all of the information that I have on him at this point.

I believe he is in Mt Prospect, about 25 miles north of Chicago.
He might still work for Autobarn Nissan as well.
Thanks,
