Take the time to fly out and find your car ASAP or it's going to be sold for parts. You mentioned bad luck. Desperation makes people do really stupid things with other peoples stuff. Go get it or call your insurance company ASAP.

Hey man I know this is late but I just met John and he’s all trusting at first ordering parts sending me updates and now he ghosted me. At the end of the day did he end up keeping his end of the word? His son messaged me saying he was in jail and need money to bail him out. Just wanted to hop on this thread and ask you if he kept his end.

John Repollet

Don’t waste your money. Leave him in jail, that’s where he belongs. He burned a lot of bridges in Hawaii, where he was last at… and no he doesn’t keep his word. And his son is helping him..

No, I don’t think so…thanks for checking. I was just afraid that he was trolling here at the expense of his victims.

Fun fact: If you know his license plate number you can get his location history through companies like FLOCK that use ALPR cameras to aggregate data. Sites will charge about $20 to do a look-up. If you only have a VIN, you can use look-up sites to convert that to a license plate number and then search it (this might be more useful for finding your stolen car if he / new owner was dumb enough to drive it on the old plates for a bit).

Here's a few sites:
