Found a 996 hardtop on the Raleigh craigslist @ $600. No affiliation, just passing it along in case any locals are searching.

Just wish it was a 986 top.

Just went and picked it up this afternoon!

I would have joined you guys but it was just a drive in and leave after installation type of deal since I had lots to do at home today.

The top isn't perfect but it's good enough for what I intend to use it for!

Needless drama. Tell him to call the Police, then call the dealer informing them he has called the police.

Furthermore, start another thread; this is not the place for Leith bashing; Leith Porsche have been a long-time supporter of both the Hurricane and Carolinas PCA regions.

Sounds like a complete overreaction on your friend's part. It is a simple case of mistaken identity. I would simply call the Leith phone number on the card (once I verified it was legit), tell them who I am and who I am not. Case closed. No cease and desist needed. No threaten with lawsuit needed. With all the contacts we have here locally with Leith it wouldn't take but a few minutes to get straightened out. Leith isn't the bad guy here. The bad check writer is.

As far as the guy that has written the bad check, my guess is he is a ghost and Leith assumed your friend was him since he was able to be found.

Good points. This was not leith bashing, just passing along the story and asking if it had been seen before.

I like the idea of calling the police even more.

Well, it's hard not to react when someone is threatening you with an arrest warrant. It looks almost like they randomly pulled him out of the phonebook because they shared the same last name. He exchanged emails with them and that didn't make it go away, so he had to go in there in person to sort it out.

Again, complete overreaction. Threat was all it was. Do you think Leith has the ability to tell the Cary PD to go arrest somebody? They have much more important crap to deal with. If you are looking for advice, start a thread over in OT.

I actually made the same point to him and made the comment that I wished them luck in trying anything.
