Anyone know Jim Boggs from Bonito Springs, FL? Back in June he was looking for help installing replacement A-Arm bushings and needed the tools to do this.
Bushing install tool., Recommendations needed. So having already done this and being basically a nice guy I said "Sure, I have them. How about I send them to you, you do your install and then mail them back?" to which he eagerly accepted. So I boxed them up and sent them off on June 26th on my dime. Last I've ever heard from him. He was last logged in on August 9th and I PM'd him either that day or the day after to see how he was doing and nothing, zip, nada. Radio silence. Tried sending an email thru his profile and same result. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) So if anyone knows Mr. Boggs can you please collect my tools and I'll pay to have you send them back? Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed. Lesson learned: "DON'T LOAN OUT YOUR TOOLS" |

@VaccaRabite , we don't really know what the truth is but if a guy asks to loan some tools or favor or similar on this forum and then disappears, warning other people here on the events is fair and solid.
This is regardless of what happened to the guy that is not returning the tools, be it health, family or bad intentions. When I help someone out, I don't expect to be stubbed in the back. And if that person's priorities have changed, to the point that he can't afford to mail back some tools then it's a fair warning to all to avoid lending him tools, regardless of why his priorities changed. And on top of all, there was absolutely no defamation here by the original poster. |
