Bill: I am sorry, no movement yet on my side either. You should contact the city of Athol [MA.], police authorities or the Worcester County [MA.] Prosecutor's office by phone. Speak to the appropriate person [just ask] and see if either of these entities can make a case against this joker for Theft by Deception or Theft by Conversion etc. I had a similar situation [e.g. one in Mississippi] where a D.A.'s Investigator went to an alleged gun builder's [Nick Vesa] home and basically told him, "pay this man what you owe him and return his guns, now or we are swearing out a warrant against you today!" It worked, I had my guns and money in a week. I will admit it didn't hurt any that I was a lawyer but usually these offices are responsive to cases of cons, operating in their jurisdiction [venue]. Try this and keep me posted. Good Luck! Jerry
