Call the Captain of his police unit and explain the situation. Explain his business practices, show emails/paper trails and talk to internal affairs. While most police officers believe they are untouchable because of their position , you can rattle the cages a bit.
If the response is not good enough then find his local newspaper and give them call. Newspapers enjoy a good scandal .While not directly related , he still has to keep a certain level of professionalism even out of uniform.
I have a feeling if you " reached out and touched" someone like this ; Emails, kits , pieces would start flying out of his home.
I have to agree with Lee and others that suggestions like these are
way out of line. In fact, I know from experience that guys have been banned from this forum for messing with other members in "real life."
Having said that, feel like I need to qualify that I'm not defending Steve's business practices, such as they are. He's a big boy and he alone bears responsibility for the promises he's made and failed to keep. There are just too many guys I know who've come out on the short end of agreements made with Steve, and even though I'm one of them, I would never consider messing with the guy's livelihood.
BTW, for anyone who hasn't noticed,
there are threads here that are ten years old and counting where you have Steve offering cool stuff, and then people lining up, and then one by one they start asking
"Has anyone heard from Steve? He's not answering my messages." It seems as if this has been going on from day one. It seems like you're okay if you buy one of his kits and get in on some castings from his very first set of molds, just be
very sure that he sent you everything. If you order a kit later in the game, well, good luck. If you send him reference for the promise of more reference, well, good luck. And if you're building a pattern for a model and Steve wants to make you a deal to kit it himself, well,
RUN AWAY! I've lost count of the number of extremely sharp and talented guys who've been burned that way.
