They’re brake pads. **Pep Boys screwed up - take it up with them.** I’ll tell my friend to look out for any weird e-mails and if he gets anything weird I’ll tell him to take it to the police for harassment.

I dont give a fck who it is, if the stuff was taken on purpose then we have an issue. I’m going to assume like you say that the guy is legit, though I have already emailed him. In reality, its a retail value of around 350-400$, so for now I am going to take it seriously.

Pepboys will hear from me. The most I can hope for are my brakes or my money back… its the principle now.

Yeah. You’re right. They were stolen on December 11, 2007. I asked him today if he had a receipt for them. Additionally, a ton of his shit didn’t even come from Pep Boys. I like how you’re on JTech’s bandwagon. PEP BOYS FUCKED UP. You’re a fucking retard. Kthx.

Oh yeah, I also should mention that he doesn’t even have pads for a C5 Vette or Celica All-Trak. He does have Integra pads though. He must have stolen them. Damn.

Your taking this way to seriously all you friend has to do is tell gearhead whats up with his pads. Gearhead is a understandable person. calm down sally.

I don’t even know gearhead, but from the quote above, my understanding of that was that he may have those pads in his posession if they were orderered thru one of those stores.  
Please clarify. Would he have picked up an order from a store that did not belong to him or is he some kind of wholesaler that distributes to those stores?  
Where does he get all these pads from?

Dude try to relax for a minute, someone saw an ad with a person claiming to sell a bunch of the same shit that Gearhead got screwed out of so it was suggested that he contact that person, nobody is saying to go track the guy down or do anything else, Gearhead e-mailed him, that’s that.

People do shady shit all the time, obviously no one but you knows this guy and the conversation is between him and Gearhead. You said it’s your friend and that it’s a legit deal so leave it alone, if that’s all true then it will come out in the end.

I was just looking for some clarification, thats all.  
Hope Gearhead is able to get this resolved.  
Hope 04VDubGLI18T gets his 38" Sunroof wind deflector sold and everyone is happy.

so you mean go to pepboys and kill the person who let them walk away with his stuff? even trying to track down who took them is retarded. all they have to say is that " we have the receipt that we used to pick up the stuff in the 1st place." gearhead can only deal with pepboys, and only them. anybody else is basically going to laugh in his face since they had “paperwork”

your exactly right.

BUT, if I find someone suspect, then i want to get to the bottom of it… which I assume I’ll never find. The poor little blonde girl probably picked up parts for her boyfriend and just batted her eyes and took what she thought was his. If they took it on purpose though, I hope they have good dental b/c its go time. :burnout:

well IMO i think pep boys fucked up. If gear heads the only one with the paper work how the hell did someone else pick them up. Not to mention how would they remember WHO picked them up? Dont you have to sign something to receive it?

Yeah, that’s me.

It’s just that I grew up w/Chris (the kid selling them) and whenever I saw that on here I had to say something. I was the one who told him about the cheap EBCs whenever they were posted up on here a few months back (thanks PS for the info 🙂 - that’s serious too). I actually went w/him to purchase them and looked for pads for my car. They were full price for my car still though. I can 100% say that I watched him purchase them fair and square and that they didn’t come from Cranberry. We’re from Harrison City and Greens + Monroe is close. We did hit up Shadyside too though since we’re both living there for school. But anyhow, FWIW, my vagina is sandy because of Chop saying that I was endorsing my friend’s stolen goods. I mean, I get it, I really do. But, in the same token, if someone stole his pads then chances are they’re not going to come clean on PS. I rarely post - mostly just lurk, but I’m not going to leave my friend out to dry here. I can say that the PBs we went to (3 of them in total) did have same sets of pads set aside for people’s orders and stuff - I’m guessing that Gearhead’s pads were sitting aside and they sold them w/o checking. I’m willing to bet that no one walked in and stole them. Either an employee walked off w/them b/c he figured the owner was never picking up, or they sold them out of stupidity. Also, he happens to know some wholesalers - note the Raybestos pads. So not all of them came from PB anyhow. Point being, I would rant like hell if this happened to me, but nothing is going to come from posting on PS. I’ve read plenty of these types of threads and it’s a great way to get rid of some stress and such, but it’s PS. Sorry for your loss Gearhead, but I’m sure if you complain enough PB will fix it in some way. That’s what you need to do. You have the receipts + paperwork. I just wasn’t going to sit here and wait until every person that read this e-mailed Chris and asked him what pads he had and see if he happened to have the type “stolen” “missing” “sold.” I know he has teggy pads, so that’d be enough to cause some pissed off people to do something I’m sure. Anyhow, to end my rant, I just wanted to keep people from blaming him for stolen pads and shit and then e-mailing him 100 different ways to see what pads he did/didn’t have. Just don’t jump to conclusions - and even so, like I said before, PepBoys fucked up. Gearhead, you can stay on here all you want, but if you want results talk to the BBB or call PB corporate.

OR… she knew someone who works there and is dating one of his friends and they basically sold them from under you as well. could be a conspiracy :gasp:
