By all indications given in this discussion, MotorMeister is FINALLY going out of business. They were/are selling customer's cars with lien sale titles as seen on Craigslist and in this current ebay auction:

This is in addition to the cars and engines seen held hostage at the 1:10 mark of this 2010 video: Sneak Peak of Motor Meister's New Facility for 2010! - YouTube

According to a good source, MM's facility is locked down with investigators checking things out. If your car or engine is seen in the above links, I would make an attempt to claim them now. Call the Downey Police and report your car/engine stolen so there is a paper trail to get what's yours when the investigators sort this out.

Check out the photos below taken from the above links. I wonder if there's anything we can do to help reunite these cars and engines to their proper owners...document VIN and engine numbers and post them?

WOW!!! It only took 20+ years to finally bring MM down huh? I guess better late than never. I suppose with so many complaints over the years, the authorities finally had to do something about it. Let's hope Wayne Krieger's next!!! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the fraudulent practices of Wayne Krieger, here's the thread about him on the Pelican Parts forums. Be very wary of dealing with this guy, infact, I would say, don't deal with him at all, better safe than sorry. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-t...e-krieger.html
