Again, sometimes things just look like a lawsuit waiting to happen, and documenting EVERYTHING is only prudent. I was in a spot once were we knew a client was litigious, I was meeting with her in the office after hours, and I made sure my boss was there in the next room clearing his throat from time to time just in case she claimed I sexually assaulted her. We'll never know what she might have tried, but I'm happy with that.

Like I said I a previous post. This sort of thing only ever happens with the rare, hard to find, special performance go fast parts.
There could only be a certain few people who would benefit from such parts for an engine!
As for the videoing of people recieving parts, whats with that!

That might go a long way as to explain why there was a need to have a video, pictures and signed receipts.

I once had a leprechaun jump out of a box as I opened it, video cam in hand, but he was way too fast as I ran after him he disappeared amongthe shrubbery in my driveway... the next day the video of me receiving the parts was all over YouTube!

The video sounds pretty cool, if true.

My crystal ball says that the court papers will show the other side having opened the package containing the heads with witnesses, who have given sworn statements.

But suppose that this (cylinder) head case is never resolved.

Based on what I've read on this thread and elsewhere on rennlist, there's still the stolen stroker crank, which was changed to one of lower value. And cams with something like Devek B1 profile cams that were changed to something like S4 stock cams. And the titanium valves that were changed to stainless steel valves. This stuff adds up in value and at some point some of those parts are going to surface somewhere. And there's going to be contradictions in someone's story.

And if that's not enough, there's the trashed interior, which is probably covered by insurance. If and when insurance company pays out for stuff like that, a process starts. And when an insurance company process starts, it typically ends up in a conclusion that someone was at fault.

This is going to get resolved in one direction or another.

Garrity was always straight up in his dealings with me, and went way farther than maybe ANY shop would have done to do right when my engine had trouble.
Based on my dealings with Garrity over several years, I think the scammer is the one who received the heads and is trying to ripoff Motorsport.

WTF is this all about? I feel like I got dropped on my head as a child too many times.

When did it become necessary to take pictures of someone picking something up? I've never even remotely considered this as something I needed to do.

Let's see...Greg got paid. Motorsports had the heads...now they don't. The person that paid for the heads originally got sent/picked up the heads...with video/pictures of this.

This whole thread is nuts and makes no sense. Where's the problem?

It seems Greg at least thought Motorsport didn't deliver parts based on buyers say so. Now if there is video...
