No, but that's not how it works with welding rigs and definitely not at home lol usually you buy your own tools for the job as a mechanic, you do with those tools what you will.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If I have a guy running MY rig, you better believe he's working where I place him with it, or he's out the door. You can't do that with mechanics.
OP, get this guy to help you. He can show you how to get the job done.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I can eat more hot wings than you.
That does happen, employers let technicians use the shop after hours to repair their own vehicles. But will bring in side jobs instead.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
There are very few repairs that can be done without a scan tool or service information, both of these cost into the thousands. Neither of these are technician tools. Very few techs own their own scan tool. I have never met a tech that has There own Alldata subscription. In job interviews, it is very common to be asked if you do side work. You will probably be hired no matter what you say, but will have some restrictions on what tools you are allowed to bring home. I'm not against side hustles, but I feel that laws, ethics, and fairness are important and should be followed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Gogazoo2 to the rescue!
Don't the vast majority of both welders and mechanics own thier own tools?

Guys! Quickly - we found another Hamas sympathizer!!! Get em!!
I completely agree with you. I admit to being naive. We have a mutual friend in common, and he had done work on my vehicle a couple of times before. This is a very hard and painful lesson. The thought of him replacing parts in the engine or selling them has come to mind. The first thing I was planning on doing, is to take it to a licensed mechanic to get it inspected, and to see if engine parts had been manipulated, or swapped out for cheaper parts.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Not sure if it's been suggested yet but have you considered reporting him to the cra? If it's all side jobs he's doing and not reporting then hit him where it will hurt.
Then go file a small claims action. Read cashmoneys thread to see how easy it is.
Sounds like the property owner already told you what to do to get your car back. So show up there, phone the police, do not reference any prior interactions about this, say your car has been stolen and you found it in a locked yard and need the police there. When the cops show up, you've satisfied the property owners requirements to let you in, then go get your car.
The Police have told me it is a civil matter. Otherwise, I would have done this a week ago.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Im sorry you have to deal with that. I hope it does not effect your mental health.
I wish humans could be humans again and not harm others its just too often now.
The Police have refused to show up. I requested this, however, they informed me it is a civil matter, and they would not come to the lot. I'm not sure I am following you.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Let me try. What I think @Misterman is saying is: go to the lot, confirm your car is there. Call the cops and say my car has been stolen and I found it in a locked compound...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Don't reference your previous interaction with calling the cops.
Subbed
The cops would have record of communications i'm sure tied to his name and number.. I'd just bite the bullet rent a unit walk in take my car and fuck off haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm not sure how this hasn't been resolved yet. Especially if Gogazoo2 gets involved.
