The police are not going to get involved except for maybe dropping by Al's house and speaking with him. There are plenty of things that Al could say that would cause them to drop back and let he and Chris work it out by themselves.
Chris should make copies of every email, paypal transaction etc. Nothing should be done over the phone, everything in writing. Even if there is a phone conversation and follow-up email that is confirmed by Al should be done. He also should stay off this thread for the most part.
Obviously Al isn't someone to do business with. He scams people into shipping before payment, for animals he cannot afford until he sells them. Evidently he is a regular at shows with essentially stolen animals.
If Chris did get Al to send him a check, that was no good, then he would have something to fall back on, as Jason pointed out. But other then that he should accept money as it comes.
