The shop owner should have taken a deposit for every thing that was done over the long run, but believed the kid. It was the kid who screwed himself and the shop owner by taking advantage of the guy.

He's been in business a fair number of years, so to say that he doesn't know how to run a business is unfair to him because you (or I) don't know him.
That's not really a small mistake, that's a pretty huge mistake to let him rack up a 16000 bill without much in the way of deposits. I am pretty sure the owner knows how big of a mistake it is now.

I don't know him, the only facts I have on the case is the same as everyone else viewing this board has based on the business owner's side of the story. The first thread said he continued to do it because he believed the kid had the money and his shop could really use the cash, which made me believe he was really desperate for cash if he believed the grandfather BS. The story in his own words doesn't really make me feel sorry for him. The dude got easily hussled.

Good luck to japworks on trying to rectify the mistake, I doubt they will get any sort of compensation from the kid. I forsee bankruptcy in the kid's future and the financial institution that mom used for the lien on the car will try to repo it. That is going to make an interesting legal situation. This will probably end up in limbo for years. Hurting japworks more than anyone really. At least they will get some cheap advertising for all their troubles.

Any other people that know people in the media, news, radio, internet radio, what have you that could spread the word let me know. I will be sure to have credits on japworks.com to all those that have made it a point to help in getting this story out to the masses.

This should be a worldwide media frenzy.

The kid kept giving bullshit stories on how he was going to get the money and how his Grandpa is "old school" and didn't want to pay a deposit just to have the car pushed into a corner to sit for a while...

Joe Dono is more than a scammer, he is a Con man... not a very good one, but a con man nonetheless...
