Anyone Know Member "BiG bOgGs" AKA Jim Boggs?, Never loan out your tools... Options

[johnlush]

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"

Thanks to all for your thoughts and replies.

My intention was not to publicly defame Jim, I was just out of ideas on how to contact him. Yes, I have his mailing address but if he's not responding to emails or PMs I'm not sure what good a letter would do. I don't have a phone number and I'm not a FaceBookie. I was actually hoping that there was another member local to him that knew him personally and could perhaps check in with him. I'm not totally sure he's dodging me but I did find it odd that he was active on the board until I PM'd him and he hasn't been back since - at least logged in with that account.

I appreciate your offers to either lend me your set or machine replacements. These are something for me that I use infrequently and live the rest of the time in a drawer with the rest of the speciality things we all end up with. I know most of us have a collection like that and it would be nice if we could be able to "help a brother out" when you have something they don't and vice versa. Nice plan but maybe not a good idea in retrospect.
