illegal arrest & deportation.

DON’T GO 2 MEXICO

Make no mistake about it. Mexico is a lawless land that shields itself from the true reality of who and what it is by promoting beautiful vacation spots and low priced housing properties to lure unsuspecting Americans while sponsoring many United States newspapers, television and radio stations with their unlimited financial resources supported by the drug cartels, and the backbone of the country which is the Mexican mafia. All of which is enforced by the unscrupulous police and political officials who work for them by prowling the streets targeting unaware Americans, known as Gringo’s to them or walking wallets of cash.

Make no mistake about it. They can take what ever you own, or have, at anytime they want to. And that, my dear reader, includes your life, as well. In short, terrorism is everywhere, even at your back door, at your very border, and is beckoning and begging you each day to visit it through false ads of relaxation, beauty, and safety at bargain prices.

“It doesn’t take Halloween to promote a Horror story”

The following was a labor of love that turned into a nightmare. After we contributed (17) months of our labor, time and total life savings; including an entire settlement I received from a prior work injury, we, with good intentions, (foolishly) refurbished a (23) room run down mansion in Rosarito, Mexico. Our intentions were to create a free clinic for drugs/alcohol & cancer treatments through our California non-profit, “Genesis Association.” However, all of this came to a horrifying end, one day, when we were arrested, handcuffed, robbed, thrown into the bed of a police pick-up truck, and deported, with machine guns aimed at our heads by fully armed Mexican police at 3M in the afternoon on October 3, 2006.

All of our possessions, both personal and business, consisting of all of our life’s belongings including our cash, personal medical records, birth certificates, diploma’s, life long family picture albums, medications, eyeglasses, dentures, clothes, shoes, food, dishes, pots & pans, televisions, stereo’s, satellite systems, extensive sets of mechanical tools, complete sets of construction tools, exercise/health equipment, banking accounts, (17) years of personally written manuscripts including; screenplays, commercials, television program formats, and songs, an expanded library of books, tapes and CD’s, oil paintings, (4) computer systems containing pertinent information of our present and past businesses and contacts, (23) rooms of furniture, (2) automobiles, a Mazda MPV and a Ford 350 crew-cab dually, that we purchased for transporting patients, as well as, moving furniture and equipment, (5) automobiles, a Ford Mustang Convertible, a Jaguar XJ6, a Dodge Ram 250, a Porsche 944, and a 1975, (collectors piece), Rolls Royce-Silver Shadow, that we purchased for major repairing by our part-time mechanic and for resale to help pay the expenses of the building, etc., … you name it. It was a calculated gamble we took to turn metal into cash. What took us a lifetime to achieve and acquire was gone in a few hours of horror. Our life’s assets were confiscated. There was constant snickering and laughing by the intruders as we sat handcuffed in the back of their police truck watching them remove everything they could possibly carry from the house and spitefully load our own pick-up trucks that were parked on the road in front of the building. On one occasion, as they passed by the truck that we were handcuffed to, they uttered in broken English, “if we can not stay in your country, you gringo’s can not stay in ours,” as they began to laugh again. Within just a few hours we were whisked through their diabolical legal system removed from everything that we owned and created with our blood, sweat, and tears, and were left standing on the street in San Ysidro, California, with just the clothes on our back, no place to live, and a driver’s license; which we were told that we needed for the deportation process. The only thing they didn’t get, luckily, was a few bucks that I hid in my shoe earlier that day to pick up an old motor home. This is what we’ve been living on.

MORE BAD NEWS

Three months prior to all of this, on June 29, 2006, we had a “home invasion” at approximately 4AM while my son, daughter, and her boy friend were visiting to help us in preparing for the inspections that we needed prior to applying for our licenses and permits to open as a hospice/clinic. My daughter was robbed of everything, including her 2002 Rave 4 car, which she just purchased for her transportation from the East Coast to the West Coast and, unfortunately, was not insured in Mexico and never found thereafter, and….. she was raped during the robbery with a gun to her head. My son was beaten and robbed of everything he had. He was bound and gagged and made to stay in his bedroom or he would be killed. My daughter’s boyfriend was beaten and robbed of all he had including his guitar and told to stay in his room or they would kill him. My lady friend and associate, Kalen Davis, was beaten and robbed of her money, family heirlooms, multi-generations of hand me down jewelry, and decades of invaluable and irreplaceable collections. And me, the writer of this story, Thaddeus Zebrowski, was robbed of all my jewelry, personal money, a coin collection, a 1997 Mazda MPV van which, approximately, (2) weeks later was confiscated by the border patrol as they were trying to smuggle aliens into the U.S., a cash amount of $9,500 which had been set aside in our filing box for future lease payments on the property. Also, at that time, a Mexican doctor, who we believe was part of the robbery, was residing in one of our bedrooms, but his room was never entered. It was the only room in the entire building that was never entered. We filed a report with the Rosarito detectives but nothing ever came from it. They told my daughter that if she ever mentioned the rape that she would be arrested and never seen again. Later, we were told by the investigating detectives that the case was too hard to solve. Needless to say, my daughter, son, and their friend departed for the East Coast immediately after acquiring their plane tickets, carrying with them the scars of the ordeal that they endured while in Rosarito and said they would never return again and are now, and always will be, true advocates of cursing Mexico for destroying their lives.

On August 25, 2006, shortly after we were told by the Rosarito detectives that the case was too hard to solve, we had another “home invasion” around 12 midnight. We were asleep when we heard the main door kicked in and the internal alarm systems became active. There were too many plain clothes young men to count. They, eventually, broke through a steel door that protected our master bedroom. I managed to keep them at bay with a crossbow, which fortunately for me, they couldn’t exactly figure out what it was due to the poor lighting in the room. Through tense negotiations with one of the perpetrators who appeared to be the leader and was able to speak broken English; he had said that they were informed that our basement was a storage area for large amounts of drugs and they had to search it. I didn’t believe his story and he knew it. Seeing that this was not true, they proceeded to crash through the doors on their way out, scaled the (8’) security wall that surrounds the mansion and left in numerous vehicles resembling chevy suburbans. The next morning we reported the incident to the Rosarito detectives, but nothing ever came about from it, nor could anyone explain who they were. The detectives told me that if I wanted to know, I would have to find out for myself.

On October 2, 2006 we had another “home invasion” at approximately 10PM, just after we had retired to our bedroom. This time they crashed through a large window located on one of our balconies. The building had (7) balconies. We heard the noise and the interior alarm system went off. I, immediately, ran to the balcony off of our bedroom and began shouting through a megaphone to the neighbors. Someone must have heard me and got through to the police because we couldn’t. Every time we tried to explain who we were and where we were to the dispatcher, he would play dumb and ask us to repeat ourselves. The perpetrators, seeing that the neighbors were awakened, and curious, made their exit, but very slowly and defiantly. There didn’t appear to be more than about 3 or 4 of them in plain clothes. The uniformed police showed up around a half hour later and advised us that the perpetrators purpose was to get us. Now how they would know this, made us think. Nothing was taken from the house. We stayed up all night and waited until 8AM that morning knowing that we beat death one more time. On October 3, 2006 we made another report to the Rosarito detectives. The detectives were very reluctant, at this time, to take our complaint and would not give us a copy of it. I demanded a copy of the picture and name of the person who was driving my van, from the first robbery, when it was confiscated at the San Ysidro/Tijuana border while smuggling aliens, but I was refused and was told that they did not keep records of complaints. It was ironic how the same Mazda MPV van was stolen from me twice in (3) months. I explained to them that through my investigations that I had found out that all of these incidences involved the police. I had also taken pictures of their shoe and finger prints and had them stored on my computer at my house. That was a mistake, because that afternoon at 3M we were arrested, robbed, and deported by the uniformed police of Rosarito & Tijuana, and the same men who were there on August 25, 2006 in plain clothes supposedly searching for drugs.

When we try to explain to anyone and everyone that we lost everything, people just don’t understand what everything means because they’ve never suffered that kind of loss. They think that maybe we misplaced it somewhere. They can’t understand that because of this….we haven’t a home, haven’t a job, haven’t any credit, haven’t any bank accounts, haven’t proper clothing, haven’t an automobile, or any of the other things that I have mentioned in the beginning of this synopsis. Luckily, I’m a Navy Veteran of the United States and can obtain medical attention. Together, we’re senior citizens with a shattered future, if we have one at all! Not to mention that we have absolutely nothing left in our lives that proves we had existed for the past 51 and 61 years, nor do we have any historical remnants of our families and that they existed. I, personally, can’t even call my children, friends, or associates, or anyone else, because they have all of my contact phone numbers and business identification numbers. Our lives and the means to make a living have been ripped away from us. All we have left is our age, which isn’t much to brag about, as we now exist in our little motel room, sitting here in awe, knowing that in just a few more weeks we are going to have the privilege of being the next poster children, and prime candidates for California’s welfare system.

It appears to us that more emphasis and concern is placed on trivial news that is entertaining to the public and has a sense of novelty to it, and above all, increases ratings, such as: who stole the pumpkins off of someone’s lawn during Halloween, or someone adopting a child in some other country, or what movie star is getting married and what kind of clothes the invited are wearing, or a President flubbing a few words in a sentence, or a promiscuous politician, etc., etc., etc., rather than the perils that unknown, and nameless people suffer while trying to survive through life in this world, or in their quests to help or make changes within humanity and within their means. There are millions of situations and complexities in this world, but we feel that this ONE deserves to be heard because it is, after all, at our back door and concerns the welfare of ALL Americans, especially, those who are interested in investing or traveling into another country, or harms way, such as Mexico?

Our Mexican Newspaper Allies

We shared all of our invasions/robberies and complaints with Nancy Conroy, a very brave lady, indeed, of the “Gringo Gazette” which is an English written newspaper in Mexico. (nancy@gringogazettenorth.com) Nancy, the editor, was sympathetic to our ordeals and had heard and written numerous other horror stories about Americans being kidnapped and murdered. She, in so many words, said that our encounters were very bizarre because of the nature of how we were being attacked, so consecutively, and had warned us of the danger we were in because the mansion that we had refurbished to be a clinic was at one time a large meth factory built by families of the cartel and that other murders had taken place there. And, that someone must want it back. We would like to thank Nancy for keeping the gringo’s in the Rosarito/Tijuana area abreast of the truth and what’s going on and advising her readers of our perils each time they occurred.

We, who had represented the Genesis Association of California, doing charitable work in Mexico, by helping people in need, regardless of nationality, are asking what is it that we can do? We are looking for, and need, resolution to this injustice. We want to know who is willing to exercise that responsibility, in the United States, for people and organizations that need help? Is there an (actual) official office in our government that protects the citizens of the United States of injustices and terrorism from rogue authorities in other countries such as Mexico? We would like to know. We need some answers, at the very least! This was an International Crime orchestrated by Mexican authorities. And, should be solved!

Make no mistake about it; Terrorism is at your back door.

Freaky situation.

Ohhhhhhhh you want it all to your self

Larry!

Well in that case I actually have a 21 room house

And end

The sheer volume of questions tendered in this thread has to be overwhelming to Ted. Especially to a guy who is living in a motel room using a $130 computer that he picked up at a yard sale. Not to mention the fact that he's burdened with having to use the snail-like dial up connection. Talk about loathsome! Some of you people here need to think and think again before you "talk." Especially those of you who are fortunate enough to have a DSL or cable connection. Think back to the day when you had to deal with the pitiful aspect of dial up. So get off of his back, Larry!!

Either people like you aren't paying attention or you have no empathy whatsoever. Note to all of you in this thread, a large cattle-call of posters, who are vying for Ted's attention: Pick up the phone and dial Ted's number for crying out loud! Don't be afraid, he doesn't bite!! All you have to do is enter a few digits into a dialpad. It's not rocket science!!

Follow this simple, time tested formula: Just be polite, say hello, and ask him if he has a moment to spare. Try it, that'll work wonders!!

You should thank Ted for doing something that is about as common as seeing a snowball in hell: A poster who gave out his personal phone number (his cell phone number of all things) on a discussion forum in a thread that is bound to spark controversy, skepticism, disgust, hate and ridicule. You'll have to wait another 20 years before you ever see that happening again! And by the way, if you don't think his narrative hasn't sparked any hate, just ask Ted about some of the emails he's received!

And get this...his username is not a Cyberspace psuedonym, it's his real world name! The merits and detriments of using your real world name as an Internet username are debatable, as would be any dialogue about the state of your sanity. But that is something I'll let everyone else debate amongst themselves.

So sack it up, be a man, or a woman, and give him a call...if you can afford to call San Diego, California. You can afford to make a phone call to San Diego, now can't ya? It would be alot better--and far faster--asking Ted your 20,000 questions live on the phone as opposed to expecting him to labor over a keyboard all day long just to appease everyone here. And when he answers your questions c'mon back here in a hurry and report what he said, because it's obvious some of your fellow community members in this thread are on the edge of their seats. You can be a hero just like Paul Revere was!

It's just not reasonable to expect Ted to dedicate all of his waking hours mollifying every single poster on a discussion forum in a thread of this magnitude. I don't care how advanced technology is, this form of communciation is one of the worst kinds out there for facilitating discussions! Keep in mind we're using a silent form of communciation, one of the worst types in existence when you compare it to a conversation that uses a phone system, or sitting around talking over lunch at Denny's. The gaps in sorting out details and facts and getting the true perspective of a story are as wide as a valley in the Grand Canyon when communicating via keyboard. All of you should keep that in mind before you slam him, AND before you put yourself in his corner for that matter. As President Ronald Reagan once said, "trust and then verify."

And be polite to him when you talk to him on the phone because you just might be surprised at how far a little common courtesy and politeness will take you in this world! Ted's phone number is in his thread starter, at the very bottom of his post. Are you paying attention, Larry?

Merry Christmas, Felice Navidad and Happy Holidays!!

P.S. Be sure to ask Ted about the Swedish guy who saw Ted's telephone number on the Internet, and called him all the way from Switzerland. The same guy who went through the same thing Larry did, and is now in the process of trying to recover the many thousands of dollars worth of possessions that the police in Mexico stole from him. Don't you just love the big, wide, wonderful world of the Internet?


[Edited on 12-19-2006 by Sackmaster]

I am begin to think you are right. I cant verify anything here except that the Gringo gazette published their story which doesn't mean anything because they will print any good story with firs verifying it. I was hoping Doug would come up with something but I guess he is having about as good of luck as I have. If there is any truth in there original post then they made many mistakes. and with out any more info I would say that it is a typical case of a person coming from the USA and starting a big project with out any good advice or listening to anyone. I have seen this many times in the years I have been in Mexico and with similar results. these people make up there own rules and expect Mexico to fallow them.

I take grate offense to there opening paragraph.

Make no mistake about it. Mexico is a lawless land that shields itself from the true reality of who and what it is by promoting beautiful vacation spots and low priced housing properties to lure unsuspecting Americans while sponsoring many United States newspapers, television and radio stations with their unlimited financial resources supported by the drug cartels, and the backbone of the country which is the Mexican mafia. All of which is enforced by the unscrupulous police and political officials who work for them by prowling the streets targeting unaware Americans, known as Gringo’s to them or walking wallets of cash.

as they found out Mexico dose have laws and some times very creative was of using them.

at this point I am going to withdraw my offer to help Doc . and declare this whole thing a Hoax. this is the second time this week that I have been had but the gringo Gazette got it to so I feel better

San Diego's KGTV (10 NEWS) Rett Lawrence, an ABC network affiliate broadcaster, did a story on Ted, the author of this threads thread starter. And now Mr. Lawrence has a bounty on his head. Meaning that there are some Mexican national officials who would like to see Mr. Lawrence dead for having broadcast Ted's story.

KFMB 760AM's Rick Roberts, who did a series of stories on the Donald Kraft tragedy, has stated in public that he too has a bounty on his head, as mandated by certain Mexican national "officials."

If you even utter the name "Donald Kraft" around a Mexican national tourist representative, you will be immediately ostracized out of the room, to say the least.

My sympathy goes out to docthaddeus. He's definitely got problems, either real, imagined or fabricated. Whatever the case may be?

Wow. Whatta riposte. Especially considering that Ted's daughter was raped. I guess you expect Ted's first post should be about where one can expect to find the nicest coffee shops in Tijuana. Would that have been the proper way for Ted to approach the board?

I love the time that I spend in Baja, too. But I'm not blinded by love!

A person like you is looking for signs of credibility from a person like Ted, right? And to you someone would have alot more credibility if they had a post count of 500. Or 1000. Or maybe more. That's how it is in discussion forums, the more posts you have, the more credible you are in the world of Cyberspace discussion forums. In reality that form of credibility is about as effective as using a crystal ball to predict the next large earthquake that destroys half of San Francisco.

Let me explain something about Ted. Ted is a newbie to the world of Internet discussion forums. The word "newbie" originated in the world of Cyberspace. It's used to define people like Ted or anyone new to computers or computer related entities. I saw Ted's narrative on Craigslist a few days ago, and as someone who has an interest in the Tijuana area, I decided to give Ted a call. I forwarded the link to this forum to Ted via email. And it was then that I found out that he had never been in a discussion forum before. I learned that he was not aware of the following terms that we all take for granted:

--"newbie"

--"thread"

--"thread starter"

--"post"

--"post count"

--"hijacking a thread"

--"username"

--"flame" or "flaming"

For the people out there who are snickering and feeling smug I say this: Every day thousands if not millions of people log onto the Internet for their very first time. So lets all be cognizant of that and do what we can to help get these rookies get up to speed, okay? Because it's the Internet and the Internet rocks. You rock it and I rock it, we all rock it. Hopefully for the better. And because we were all dummies at one time or another. Hell, I'm still a dummy in a few departments of computer operation.

As for your comments, Aquaholic, I say this:

--if you're perturbed by the dire nature of this thread, and you're looking for a halcyonic thread that plays dance music, serves up champagne and smells like roses, just hit the back browser button on your computer and go to another thread. Why come into this thread to chastise a man who's graying, who's in the last stage of his life going downhill faster than a young buck wearing track shoes, has lost all of his worldly possessions, and whose daughter was raped with the complicity of the Mexican police? That makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. What are you thinking?

--based on what you said, Aquaholic, I predict this thread to soon be deleted and wiped off the face of the map. There are some people who have a monetary interest in Baja, and they may exert pressure on the webmaster to kill this thread and wipe it out of existence. I fully expect that to happen. Just my humble opinon, folks, and of course I might be wrong.

Meaning that I can't tell you for sure if the San Diego Chargers are going to go all the way to the Super Bowl in Miami in Feburary of 2007. Sorry.

Now, in speaking to Ted I know that there's one thing that he'd like to know, something that I can't help him answer. Maybe there's a lawyer out there who's experienced with international law that can help Ted answer this question, a question that he'd really appreciate an answer to:

Would it be possible for Ted to sue the Mexican government using an American lawyer here in the United States to help recover some of his lost assets?

If any of you can give him an answer to that question, it would be of great help, I'm sure.




[Edited on 12-19-2006 by Sackmaster]

Sue the same govt. that's guilty of all those accusations? You bet! Expect the lawyers will be fighting over that gravey train!

Talking about credibility...What does Sackmaster refer to?

Interesting

sock puppet

I'll be talking to him again tonight and when I do I'll tell him to check in on his thread. Wether or not he chooses to do so is up to him. He has some good stories to share. He lived in Playas for one year in a killer apartment that overlooked the ocean before he moved to Rosarito Beach.

You should ask him about the time he was in his car (or truck, i can't remember which) and a pizza delivery driver on a motorcycle came from out of nowhere and nailed the side of his car. The cops all came from out of the woodwork to implicate him for "wrongdoing." It was on the road that runs right next to the boardwalk in Playas, near the Tijuana bullring.

Or the time he was driving in his car with his woman and the Mexican cops pulled him over to the side of the road. They ordered his woman to get out of the car and come sit in the police car. They then told Ted that they wanted 50 bucks from him or they would take his woman to jail. They hadn't done anything wrong. There was no need for the cops to take his woman away, albeit temporarily. And there was no need for them to have pulled him over in the first place, other than for "driving while American." As someone who has spent alot of time driving around TJ, I know how that goes, what to expect, and how to handle that type of situation.

I wouldn't blame Ted if he doesn't come back to this thread. Especially when you have people dishing out idiotic assertions about things like "sock puppets" and whatnot. I actually told Ted to that if I registered and came on board to share a few anecdotes that someone here would accuse me of being the real life Ted, to give himself support. They would assert this because I have only a few posts under my belt, just like Ted. People smell a rat when that happens, I've seen that happen many times before in a discussion forum. I'm not dismissing the application of that suspicion, as in some cases it is very much warranted. And sometimes that rat is real, while at other times like this one, the rat is a figment of their imagination. And in this case that would be a poster who calls themself "k1w1."

Sock puppet...lol!!!

Like I told Ted,

"You might gain some good info by posting your lengthy narrative in an Internet discussion forum, or it might be a complete waste of time. There's alot of junk, idiocy and bad behavor that can manifest itself in a thread. Sometimes it's a little like a virtual gangfight. And that's just a waste of time! Since all you have to do is copy and paste your thread starter to a page, you might as well give it a shot, stand back and see what happens. You never know, someone might read it a year from now and provide you with something useful. Even if the results aren't favorable to you personally, you just might help another person out. That person might be a forum member or a lurker looking in on the thread from Nebraska. I'll be watching the threads progression from a distance." I had to tell Ted what a lurker was. No big deal, at one time I didn't know what a lurker was either.

It wasn't until I saw everyone b-tching about his inattention to this thread that I felt compelled to remind people that the man was big enough--or crazy enough--to post his real phone number. The same people who were overlooking the fact that his daughter was raped. The same people who were overlooking the fact that a local television station, an ABC network affiliate, featured his story on local TV here in San Diego.

In an earlier post I made note of the lack of empathy some of you were displaying. I'll have to stop and pause for a moment and administer a little empathy of my own. Having said that, I'm sure alot of you are disappointed about Ted not answering all of your many questions. Give him time, maybe he'll get back to this thread when he's able to. But you can't expect him to answer all of them because in checking this thread there are a ton of them to be answered. The question about his FM-3 status is a very good question. If I was in your shoes, I too would want some answers!! Here's his phone number that he posted in his thread starter for those who are curious and want instantaneous / direct communication to the man himself:

(619) 723-6600

all I did is try to help him and he would not even answer my emails. why dose he keep shooting him self in the foot? he dose his best to look like a scam so some people think it is. I bit on his hook and found out what he was really after.

He tells a good story but he wont back it up.

1) What makes you think that he's doing his best to make this look like a scam? Why do you think that he strives to make this look like a scam? SCAM is a very strong word, bro! Or were you being facetious?

2) How is it that you want to help him? What could you offer him?

3) If you're really concerned, and you really want to help him, why don't you call him on the phone to offer your help? Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you blowing smoke?

4) Do you have an aversion to talking to someone on the phone?

5) Why don't you call him on the phone and talk to him yourself?

6) Do you have a crystal ball?


Ted put his phone number out there so people like you (and me, or anyone else for that matter) could call him and talk to him one on one! You don't have to "offer him help" in order to talk to him on the phone. That's not a prerequisite! I don't know why he's not answering his emails, and it wouldn't be fair to make an assumption as to why he's not answering his emails. That would be like convicting someone of a crime based on an assumption and not fact. You don't know why he's not answering his emails unless you have a crystal ball.

There's something a little odd here. Everyone is asking for Ted's voice and yet no one is willing to call him even though they have his cell phone number. For some strange reason there are people in this thread who equate a telephone conversation with the deep french kissing of a rabid, 3-legged german shepard. Just like the 3-legged dogs that I always see roaming around Constitucion Avenue in TJ. What's with that?

Well then I apologize if I was mistaken, Bajagypsy. Maybe someone could make the call on Bruce's behalf. I didn't know that making an international call from Mexico to San Diego was all that big a deal. Maybe Bruce should look into getting a VOIP phone.

I know that Ted is using a VOIP phone from his motel room in order to save money. Yes he has a cell phone, but if you expect to call him multiiple times, he'll furnish you with his VOIP number so he can save money on his cell phone bill and not eat up the minutes on it.

scum

The billion words of his narrative posted in his thread starter are saved on Wordpad, and Ted simply copy and pasted it here. That's what he told me. You'll find his narrative out there on Craigslist. I saw it on Saturday, or maybe Sunday, I can't remember which.

And you're wrong, I never said I met the guy. I only talked to him on the phone. He's in Spring Valley, I'm out in Pacific Beach, and so we're seperated by a few miles. If you dispute my rebuttal, copy and paste the part where I said that I came face to face with him.

I don't know the answers to all of you questions because I'm not Ted. Why are you asking me? You have his phone number. Call him up and ask him yourself since you're feeling "deprived" of answers. The lack of initiative on your part sends my BS shield up, too.

I don't mean to be mean spirited, if I was in your shoes I might feel "deprived" of answers. I know from talking to Ted that he'll answer all of your questions. I've already gone over this and it's getting redundant. You people that are curious need to pick up a phone.

I too had that same "deprived" feeling when I first saw his post on Craigslist, so I just picked up the phone and called him up. I wanted to tell him that it was not very smart of him to bring in a whole parking lot full of cool cars. It was then that he set me straight and said that they all needed work of one sort or another and were hardly in showroom condition.

Check my previous post for his phone number. What's the big deal? Don't be afraid. It's a telephone conversation, not a beheading at the hands of al-Qaeada!

Ole Ted is sure getting the attention he craves.

Actually someone from this board already called Ted last night (on 2/18/2006). The caller is affiliated with this sight. Ted said that there were a few people on this board who urged the caller to call Ted up and ask pointed questions, "burning" questions.

The moderator might know who the caller is. And of course the caller is watching the evolution of this thread, no doubt.

And right about now I'm beginning to wonder myself, "Hey Ted for the love of God man, come post something, will ya?"

BINGO!

Maybe he thought he was renting the mansion from THE LORD

What?

I have never "met" him. Though I have spoken to him on the phone.

This is just one example of why I told Ted that discussion forums can be a great way to waste alot of time in your life. By having to reply to accusations such as this one.

Again, I contacted Ted for the first time on Saturday or Sunday, two or three days ago. He's staying at a motel in Spring Valley, I'm in Pacific Beach. Anyone can contact Ted because he posted his phone number in his thread starter.

Again, copy and paste the part where I said that I "met him." You won't find it because it doesn't exist anywhere in this thread.
