Does anyone have any contact addresses for Alex Bell? Or know where he keeps his buses and parts? I think I need to hire a private investigator to retrieve some property he has stolen.
Alex used to run so23westfalia.com and is now running http://transporterhaus.de/
About 10-12 years ago he borrowed a 1956 Westfalia bedframe from a friend of mine, and collected a check from him for around $2000-3000 U.S. He was loaned this bed frame to be used a template to reproduce more.
He has since disappeared with the bed, the cash, and has had a very bad habit of ignoring emails for the past 10 years.
Anyway, the bus is almost finished:

And it needs a bed!!!!
In February I reached out to him, told him the owner was prepared to forgive the $2000-3000 cash, only wanted his bed back, and was willing to pay to have it packed up and shipped home. I also said I would pay to have someone come around to collect it from whatever shop he had it stored at. He was very communicative at first and said he'd get it handled within a week or two, very apologetic about having it for 10-12 years with zero communication.
Then he just dropped off the grid, has ignored dozens of emails.
Anyone know how to get through to him?
I'd be prepared to offer a reward for any information that allowed me to collect these stolen parts.
