Robert: Thank you so much for your input. I am beginning to wonder if there isn't something that we can do on a Federal level. I have forwarded your letter to me to the "Syncro List" to let others know how many of us out here are affected by this man.

If we could just get the states that everyone is in that he has been working in maybe that would help I don't know. I have never been involved in any thing of the size.

It sounds like between fraud, owing monies and holding on to people's van beyond time promised there should be something illegal and prosecutable in there somewhere. It would definitely be worth seeing this man get what is coming to him. It sounds like he is screwing over more than a few people.

I know that most men are usually suspicious of mechanics so he must be some smooth talker to get all these people to believe him and then to keep them on a string for so long. I think the old term was "carpet bagger".

Right now my main goal is just to get our son's Syncro back and to get one problem in our lives solved. How Ken Morgan can sleep at night knowing that he is keeping this Syncro from a widow and two children is way beyond me. Another "List Member" says that Ken Morgan claims to be a "Born Again Christian". This is not the act of a man who would follow the steps of Christ. Last Monday, Ken Morgan was quoting the Bible to my husband in the attempt to either appear that he was losing his mind or to try to gain some type of sympathy. Make sure that a man's actions always speak louder than his words.

I and all the people who are fighting for the return of their Syncros appreciate any information that you have on Ken Morgan that can be used in case we have to take this to the courts.

Thanks again. Jo Ann of Steve & Jo Ann Wacker Grand Junction, Co. 90 Carat 86 Syncro 01 Subaru Outback------BOYCOTT U-HAUL AT ALL COSTS
