Has more info about Joe Dorgan
"He was a no-show, again"
So much for his wanting to turn over a new leaf and getting victims taken care of.
keep us posted if he delivers the paymentThe court found him guilty of writing a hot check. I'm now promised $50 a month for the next 36 months.
I filed mine this week.awesome did you start with AG site to report the problem?
ok, you didn't file with AG form.No, I just mailed the hot check to his county attorney and requested charges to be filed.
that picture is not his work shop is it?
Well, thats great news, maybe he'll start paying people back
As long as he is only facing civil actions he will never go to jail. Thats all about him paying up or ignoring the order(s) to pay. The only way he will ever get locked up is if someone files a criminal action against him. The fact that he has failed to return certain items to the rightful owner(s) should easily constitute crimes within the "theft" categories of any state crimes code. His holding onto items and failing to return them after an ample amount of time should constitute a criminal offense or offenses. But it will take atleast one victim to pursue it and a receptive LE agency to pursue it. You cant hold someones item for years without that becoming a criminal offense. And it appears thats what he has done to a few.So when Joe gets the heat and winds up in the clink for a while with all these bad business deals and crap, what the hell's gonna happen to all the stuff his father worked so hard in gathering for restos over the many years he was alive? That part should make any collector sick.....and I don't think John would tolerate this for one damn second if he was still around.
Still miss that guy .
Just an FYI, he appears to have registered for the site here: http://elightbars.org/forums/members/joe-dorgan.28438/
One big game and the victims keep loosing.
Until that one day a bunch of members from ELB and from the emergency vehicle collector community file a class action lawsuit for fraud and theft. Can't really weasel out of it then, and the piper WILL be paid, one way or another.
Congrats, Joe. All the hard work your father did for the community he loved and in turn, respected him, and you drove it straight into the damn ground.......
Well gang, it would seem I am the latest victim of Joe Dorgan. I sent him a siren to restore along with a check for the restoration cost. I have been attempting to reach him with no luck, I'm about $500.00 in thus far. Is there a District Attorney I can contact and a case number I can refer to, so I might add my name to the list?
One thing I am going to look into is see if there is a case for Mail Fraud. Might not hurt as this activity crosses state lines thus falling into Federal jurisdiction.
for anyone who has had problems in the past and future, here is who I have contacted, and they are staring to do something. They were suppose to meet with Joe 2 weeks ago but had to put it off. they are meeting with him next week to resolve all the issues of people who he owes. They really encourage people to call them, she told me the more people that contct them the better they will be able to prosecute. She very very helpful!!!!!
Please contact them
