Complaint Review: German Classics Inc. - Cumming, GA Georgia

You got so much to say, send me an attorney list, and if I can afford that one before my disability rating increase, I might even get you some kind of finders fee when it does. I still want to know what it is you're done with?

 John, I've tried to help you and steer you in the direction which might work. I've given you suggestions on how to proceed but you refuse the help. I don't know who this guy is who you are referencing. What I do know, based on what YOU claim, is YOU think they ran off with your car.

Assuming it's just as you say it is, this guy is not going to pop up and give you your car. You need to do some work to try to find him and the car. I've tried to help you in that regard and have given you suggestions. He's not going to come to you...you need to find him. It's that simple! I wish you well!

I don't have the time to go back and forth (rant, as you put it) with you, or prove anything to you because I don't know you and I don't give a #%&%# who you are.

You run off with the mouth in form of written words and say that I "rant," as you put it. Where is Mr. Lappe, and why don't you just call me a liar. Just state that what I reported is truly false in every way, shape, and form. Just say that man is a liar.

 Still playing the "you must work for them" game because you didn't like my first post about YOU seeking a legal solution to this, eh? How sad! Let me give you some more suggestions, then you can rant even more. Find out from an authority on such things how much the car was actually worth at the time of the loss. Total up how much you paid them and received nothing for. In that way, you can put a dollar figure on your loss.

Was this car covered by insurance? If you own a home, check with them to see if it could be covered as an antique. Do you have the VIN? If so, there are various places on the web where you can check to see if that VIN is still active. You might need to pay for that. Do a corporations check with the State of Georgia and find out the principals of the business including the Registered Agent.

Do a cross check of the names to see if they are involved in other businesses. I would contact the Georgia DMV and let them know. Maybe they can check their records to see if the car has been re-registered. BE CERTAIN you are actually on the OFFICIAL Georgia DMV website and NOT a company trying to trick you into thinking they are them. As I said earlier, if there's enough money in this, a private attorney would be willing to represent you on a contingent fee basis.

I assume you know what that means. I'm talking about a practicing attorney YOU hire and NOT the State's Attorney. You may also wish to see if this guy owns any property either in Georgia or anywhere else. The point is trying to find out if he has any assets from which you can obtain a judgement. I would hold off on pursuing any kind of criminal action because what counts the most is you getting your money.

In summary what I am suggesting is you put an actual dollar figure on your losses; find out where this guy is now; find out if he has any assets upon which you can levy. If you can do that homework in advance, your case would look a bit more attractive to an attorney to take on a contigent fee basis.

 Whoever you are, read the 1st sentence of the Rip-off Report. You want details, give me state attorney, up-front fee money and I'll give them to you.

 That speaks for itself. Now I am just "Shooting My Mouth Off."

Earlier, when I was ignorant enough to trust Mr. Lappe, I made the mistake of telling a friend I see from time to time, who is also a veteran and a driver for the VAMC, Atlanta in Decatur, GA. He wanted restoration work done on a 1970's date Volkswagen that he kept up for quite some time. I really shot my mouth off when I told him that I knew the "owner" of the company that was doing my BMW, not an employee or mechanic. Dumb mistake.

I should have known something was wrong when Mr. Lappe had employees quit on him and he claimed that he needed to hire more skilled personnel. When I ran into him, he wanted to see my BMW and actually thought I had my car back nice and complete and had just forgotten about him. I then, shot my mouth off again and told him the whole story of what happened to me, and why I didn't even have a car anymore, let alone a restored Classic BMW 3 Series.

One thing I didn't think about that he told me was, if Mr. Lappe had my BMW for a legnth of time, gotten it complete, and it came out better than he anticipated, he probably destroyed it to keep me from having it, if he could not, which would explain his refusal to turn my car back over to me, and then sold the parts left to hide it. That's something I never thought of, but maybe us dumb Marines just aren't that devious.

He taught me something when I " Shot My Mouth Off" and made sure he didn't take his Volkswagen to Mr. Lappe before he saw my completed BMW. Wherever it is.

 All thru your diatribes about this alleged matter, you have convieniently side stepped possible real legal actions you can take. Instead, it's rant after rant about how somebody who disagrees with you "must work for them" and mouthing off about about how you must think violence will solve your problems with this place.

There's no doubt, much more to this matter than you are alluding to and it would seem your generally miserable attitude to the world is a barrier to you getting things done. I've seen cases like this before and it's really quite sad. I have suggested to you the steps to take as a start in possibly legally resolving this matter and making you whole.

Those steps are very real and certainly available to you, if only you would partake of them. If medication is a factor in your life, I would highly suggest you discuss your mental make up with your doctor. I'm not being nasty here as I'm a PTSD sufferer myself and see the signs when it's getting the best of me. I wish you well.

 Whoever this person is, they seem to have an extreme interest in my Rip-off Report against this business scam in Cumming, GA

 I do not give a #@% about one thing you say, whoever the heck you are, because you are simply ignorant, meaninless, mouth. For all I know, you don't want me to shoot off my mouth because he probably sold you my car. Well, how does my BMW drive? Don't you just LOVE it!! I did too, for a while. And you can stoop as low as you'd like about me being a Marine or not, If you're not sure, just ask Christian Lappe, the man who waited on my VA Disabilty check to come, so the likes of you could drive off with, or part out my car out, if that's what you two did with it when you stole it. The only thing you know about the U.S. Marine Corps is how to spell it, and Chritian Lappe probably taught you that while you were flat bedding my car, if that's what you did with it. Anybody you want to put in front if me, with any type or level of clout, I keep my credentials on me 24/7. I don't know who you are, and I don't care who you are because the only "mouth" all mighty here is YOU. In the meantime, you just keep on running your mouth and defending your partner in crime. If you 2 didn't work together, you wouldn't have such a big interest in this Rip-off Report, and attempting to downplay me. So go ahead, spit it out, how long have you 2 been running your scam?

 Again, being a Marine has NOTHING to do with this! Shooting off one's mouth, making threats of violence is childish and dangerous. Being a Marine, if that's true, you should know better. You know I hit the nail very directly and squarely on the head...so much so that you have no intelligent rebuttal.

That's why you resorted to the very immature "you must work for them" innuendo. There can be a legal solution for you in this matter, if only you would seek said solution. Shooting off your mouth about violence or threats of course will cause local law enforcement to sit up and take notice and warn you against such stupidity.

Strength under control is the mark of a Marine. Sadly you miss the mark with your self admitted running off at the mouth.

 According to the submitted rebuttal, "Being a Marine has nothing to do with this." It has more to do with it than you will ever know, whoever you are. My extreme anger while communicating with Forsyth County law enforcement caused me to describe some things I was taught while on active duty that involved high explosives. Even though I may now be disabled, some of them took me quite seriously. PS: To whoever wrote the rebuttal. Where is my BMW? Do now have it?

 I am familiar with cases such as this and I'm a bit puzzled by a few things. First off, being a Marine has NOTHING to do with this! Secondly, I cannot imagine ANY law enforcement officer saying anything such as you pursuing this guy would result in YOUR arrest! At this point, as per your own timeline description, this is a CIVIL matter. You entrusted this business with your car. Therefore it's up to them to take care of your property. Of course, depending on how an investigation transpires, there could be some criminal activity, however, this would initially appear to be a civil matter with you having the right to be made whole by civil court process. This depends on whether the guy has any insurance or ability to pay a judgement should a decision of that nature be lodged in your favor. Reality is he is probably judgement proof and yes, you could be out all your money. What you will need to do is find this guy and do an asset search. I would run this past several lawyers in that area. Someone may be agreeable to handle the case on a contingent fee basis but only if he/she thinks there's enough money in it and if it is even collectible.
