I just messaged one of the admins of one of the "groups" he is in on facebook. Maybe they will out his *** inside their group and hopefully it will straighten him up some.

I am not betting on it though.

Has anyone contacted the prosecuting attorney in his town? That would be the person to inform of what all he is doing.

At my level, it is a civil matter.

I just want my money and harness back.

Nice!

Anything we can do to take this f*cker off the internet so he does not screw anyone else is a step in the right direction.

I've learned a lot from reading his posts on wiring in other threads, he seems to be very helpful, no need to toss an FU his way. I think most everyone that has been around cars long enough or trusted a friend to do work has had this happen, my story is like the guy that lost 25k on engine work, though mine was only 6k and the car was cut to shreds. I guess all I'm really trying to say is why trash what seems to be a decent vendor that keeps tab on this thread on multiple message boards, you may be looking for help from him before this is all over.

I have no issue with vendors providing assistance when/where it is asked for. I support vendors who do this as I know good customer service is something you cannot put a price on.

With that, I am not asking for a hindsight re-cap from anyone. This provides no solution to the actual problem. This thread was created to warn other members about a douche bag who scams people.

Do I look back and wish I would have used an established vendor for my harness??

Do I need someone to post up hypothetical situations on how this thread could have been avoided?

Put yourself in my shoes for a second as you indicate you have.

Back on topic of Charles.

To all you people looking for Chrlie Ridinger.. He seems to be cheating everyone I happen to have all his information.. I was going to let it go however he still lives in my home so I'm pushing everything to the limits of the law now with both him and his wife....If you need additional information contact me at westernronni@gmail.com..I have been doing a lot of digging and currently there are four people in Findlay Ohio who are also searching for him...
I can get you to his house...Also have everything well documented lucky for me I don't throw anything away..He needs to be turned in to the law.
