Sorry to hear that. You are not alone either. Here's a quote from one of his former employees that was posted on Facebook:
For what it’s worth, I want to send out my deepest apologies to all the customers who have lost money and parts that frank has stolen. I had no idea he was stealing money from everyone and now I know that includes me. I want everyone to know I did my best to get their vehicles back , as well as any parts that have been ordered or scattered. There were over 40 cars here that we had to track down owners, cuz he would never write down phone numbers. I can say that every car here has been successfully been returned to their owners. Unfortunately 90% of them where torn apart and he sold everyone stuff ( from what I was told the customer agreed to it. I now know it’s a lie). I have pushed day after day for him to order parts so I can finish vehicles. He would send multiple pictures to people saying it’s their parts. Thank you to those that are understanding. Please understand that frank kept all financial information away from his family.
That being said there is no money for her to issue refunds. This isn’t her fault and she has Nothing. Whatever she can sell is barely enough for her and her kids to move forward with their lives.
So not only is this guy arrested for heinous crimes but he was also a shitty business man and was stealing from customers as well.
I genuinely feel bad for all the people who lost money but now have to try and piece their cars back together.
