Dear Kai Radicke,
On December 2, 1996, I entrusted you with my TR6 engine, thousands of dollars
worth of parts, and a check for three thousand dollars. Now, nearly ten months
later, you have stopped communicating with me, though you have clearly been
updating your phone messages and selling things on eBay.
I have sent you numerous email messages over the last several weeks. I have
also repeatedly called and sometimes left messages at the number for Wishbone
Classics. I have even contacted you through eBay, where I see you are still
quite active selling parts (79 auctions since September 9!). I have not heard a
thing from you since July 12.
If you or someone dear to you has suffered some misfortune, I am sorry. If you
offer me a brief explanation of the events that have befallen you, I will make
every attempt to find a mutually acceptable accommodation.
If, however, you fail to contact me this coming week, I will proceed with
efforts to recover my parts, money and unspecified damages. My recovery may
take the form of civil litigation, criminal charges, or both.
Personally, I am very sad to be writing these words. I trusted you with the
restoration of an engine that I first rebuilt in 1981. I've spent most of my
budget for the TR6 restoration already, and if I cannot recover my property, I
can't finish. This is exactly the sort of fiasco that drives people out of the
old car hobby.
Sincerely, Tomislav Marincic
