This guy... this "buddy" of mine... well, It seems he's not much of a friend. He helped me out with a lot of things and I was really beginning to trust him... and when he said he had that motor for me, I was really excited. We were gonna go to his house and I was gonna look at the motor before I payed for it, but that night, he couldn't make it because he was helping a friend who got in a car accident (or so he said). The next day, he comes in to my job and and tells me he already pulled the motor out of his Si (which I've never seen) and he said it's all ready to put in my car. He told me that he pulled the motor out of the car so that he can put his new b18c1 motor in it. He also said that when removing the transmission it slipped and fell on his hand... his hand was all screwed up and it looked like 3 knuckles had joined into one huge one... so that led me to believe him. He also wanted to know if I would be able to pay him that night so that he can buy the motor mounts for the b18c1 to put in his car... and then he would show up at my house the next morning... early... between 10am-noon. I was at work and busy... but I was also excited to get my car working. I felt I trusted him well enough so I gave him 490 bucks which I had in my pocket (I should have had him write something on paper... but I didn't 'cause I'm and idiot). He told me thank you and he would throw in a set of white rims and maybe even his black widow 2 body kit. Again... I felt excited about it all and I felt I trusted him to come through with it... I mean, I see the guy at my work 4-5 times a week. I had just remembered that I never showed him where I live... and when I told him that I live behind Lakes High School, he asked if I had a black Civic hatchback with a blue scanner. I told him I did... and he told me that he knows where I live then. That was kinda scary. He told me that he lives near me on 117th street by the 76 gas station. He then gave me his phone number which was (253) 983-0319. Anywayz... he told me to be ready early in the morning so that they can get working on it and finish as soon as possible because they have other things to do later that day... so I said okay. The next day (Tuesday) I waited all morning for the guy to show up... and he never did. I called that phone number he gave me a million times through the course of the day and nobody ever picked the phone up... it will just ring for hours. So... it is now Thursday... and this guy named Cody (or so he says) who I usually see 4-5 times a week, just disappears. I haven't seen him at all this week and there's no way for me to find him. I went and looked for a 117th street by the 76 gas station and, guess what, there is no 117th street. This pisses me off, but I deserve it for being so stupid. There are other people that know him in the B&I where I work, but they don't know him any better than I do.

Do you think I should file a police report? I mean, I probably have him on camera because of the store serveilance, I have witnesses to me giving him 500 dollars, I have his description and his friend's description that was with him when I payed him the money, I have a name, and I have a phone number. Though the name and number can be fake, we still might be able to get something. Also, he told me he goes to Curtis High School... if this is so, I'm sure we can find him. Also... I know things about this guy that can get him in jail. Should I do it?
