Help me find douchebags last name who bought my r53

Looking for John's last name , he bought my r53 and jerked me down on the price crying tolls were sooooo expensive ( so his bad planning cost me) , then picked thr car apart like it wasn't a 20yr old car. Btw , I sold him Troll for 9k , and he still was complaining, not like he HAD to buy it...I just hate entitled, immature idiots .
then he gets buyers remorse and used my plate on my car to rack up over 270$ in toll fees , the toll company also refused to drop the fees because i cant find my bill of sale and he never registered the car...
help me find this scumbag
His phone # is 410-935-5894 and he lives in Maryland, and 1st name is john..
help me track this theif scum down please...
or what can I do to have these toll fees dropped ??? theyre in a state too like 400miles away too.
John refuses to answer my calls and texts , what a man.

Is he the owner of that plumbing company? The name was on the van he picked the car up with.

Looks like Morgan’s Plumbing out of Abingdon, MD. The owner’s first name appears to be John, and well, the plumbing company name appears to be his last. Potentially. The website is morgansplumbingco.com.

Good luck.

Why did you leave your plate on if you sold it?

I left mine on so they could drive it home. Unregistered it with the state 2 days later, it was going to expire in a month anyway, and dropped the insurance day after it was sold. I get why he did it, if driven home. Was still on it when it popped up on FB for sale an owner later. So mine went through 2 owners and on to a 3rd.

Too late to be of any help in your current situation -- I'm not unsympathetic to your predicament -- but I thought I'd post my experience to underscore how important it is to once one sells a car to of course safe guard all the paperwork but also if your DMV offers a release of liability form to get one and ASAP then save it along with the other paperwork.

Back in Jan 2018 I sold a car to a local dealer. Had the bill of sale, and paper work. As is my habit I filed them.

At some point was getting bugged by the CA DMV the car's registration was expired and renew or else...

Learned of a release of liability filing and long story short -- I'll skip the CA DMV appointment mess and even with an appointment having to wait for an hour in line -- got a release of liability form.

Don't recall now -- this was back in Jan. 2018 -- what I did but I got the CA DMV to stop bugging me. Maybe just the applying for and getting a release of liability was sufficient.

Couple of years go by. Forgot about the car. Then no longer living in CA I got a letter from some company in CA claiming that I owed several thousand dollars in storage fees for this car. I don't know how the car ended up on a storage lot. And several thousand dollars is about what I sold the car for. (16 years old with 317K miles.)

Wrote a letter to the company to let it know I was not the legal owner of the car and was not responsible for the fees. Supplied a copy of the release of the liability claim.

Never heard another peep.

Hehe

Handled

John's truly a piece of dog$hit. Had it coming. Kind of dude where you have to "take a number" and get in line as a result of his childish behavior. Shouldn't happen again, at least without bitter memories.



He can go f@€k his own face.

You're welcome
