This guy isn't taking people motors and selling them. He's clearly floating his business the wrong way with money. This happens when the people in charge are terrible at managing money.
When you sent him your motor and the money, in the back of his head he knew he had some time to get it done. The motor went on the shelf and your money went right into his bank account. When you operate on small margins, chances are he took your money and used it to finish other projects he was behind on. This creates a cycle of always having to use new build deposits to finish jobs he was already paid for. So now since its been so long he has to come up with the money himself to finish your motor. Its like with every job he is robbing Peter to pay Paul sort of situation. After he stacks up 4 or 5 motors that are long over due and the deposit money has been spent, he's struggling to get them done because he needs to come up with the money to finish them.
This would make me 100% question the quality of his work.

Best of intentions I’m sure, but your family can’t do shit for getting this guy his motor back.
Honestly, send stuff to TMR and live happily ever after. No fuss, just solid work, at a fair price, from a nice guy who gives a shit about his customers. What a concept.
Who pissed in your wheaties this morning?
As far as being that one guy, I don’t do social media. The only thing I spend time on socially is Vital. Not Twitter, not facebook or anything else. Nor do I keep tabs on things like this. Kinda jumping to conclusions are we?
In regards to getting the person/persons their shit back, it was the intent to say, this person wants their stuff, here’s the proof.
After that, well, your right not much to be done on our end if our request was denied. However, it could’ve given the owner/owners more reason to pursue it legally. They waited x amount of time, made calls, left messages, sent people who live within that state with documentation at the actual owners request to release these parts as they live out of state. All things proving a case against Varner. Either way, I hope it all works out.
While it was nice of chance to offer his help, it was also smart for collective to decline. All it would take is for tempers to somehow flare during this interaction and it’d be a huge mess when it came to liability issues. I understand that a lot of people would want to punch Varner in the face, but this isn’t a cartoon where there’s no consequences for actions.
When it comes down to it, the best thing that these people who are being screwed over can do is to warn others about his business practices, and keep hounding him for their stuff. Keep following whatever legal actions that they can, and if they decide to confront him in person then that’s their option.
Chance made a pretty well intentioned offer to help, for sure. But it’s likely best that his family didn’t get put into a potentially bad situation.

At the very least, could the OP add the word "Review" to the title.
I think it’s the right thing to do to help the Moto community be aware of it.
I don’t know Terry personally, but have had some good conversations with him dating back to the early 2000’s. It’s a shame because he is a really good engine tuner. He seems to have lost his way somehow. Not cool to be providing the service he has as of lately.
As I recall, he worked for or out of Brothers Honda?
Just get your stuff back guys. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
It was really nice of Chance and his family to offer to help, but it's not a slam dunk.
