Andrew Potts- I want my money back

Make a note of all the steps you have taken to find him including the sheriff, etc.. If he cannot be found:



735 ILCS 5/2-203.1. Service by special order of court.

If service upon an individual defendant is impractical under items (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of Section 2-203, the plaintiff may move, without notice, that the court enter an order directing a comparable method of service. The motion shall be accompanied with an affidavit stating the nature and extent of the investigation made to determine the whereabouts of the defendant and the reasons why service is impractical under items (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of Section 2-203, including a specific statement showing that a diligent inquiry as to the location of the individual defendant was made and reasonable efforts to make service have been unsuccessful. The court may order service to be made in any manner consistent with due process. (Source: P.A. 87-1165.)

Hey thanks. I am waiting until tomorrow to call a judge to see if I can serve him through the newspapers. A buddy of mine pointed me in that direction. If someone is hiding then if you go through a major newspaper for 4 weeks then after the 4th week the court goes through to process the motion. Thanks for that little bit of info too Lucille. Anything bit will help!

PS: I know you are reading this Andrew and I hope you are losing business due to this debacle you created.

So what happened? Any updates at all? I know this is an old thread but ive just read all 37 pages (!) and ....?

I too just read all 37 pages and I only have one thing to add. I know this is late... but I may as well.

In late May I checked on my animals before going to work the closing shift for the day. I got home late that night and then went right back to work early the next morning. Upon arriving home, 24 hours after I had checked on my animals last, (I check on them at least once a day, obviously now, I am obsessive and do it every few hours) I smelled something and later discovered a failed thermostat stuck in the on position that had, in a very short period of time, resulted in the room overheating and killed 3/4 of my prized animals. This is still really hard for me to talk about, but I have to say, at some point after I checked on them last, that room started to heat up and in a very short time it got HOT. Animals that had been perfectly healthy just 24 hours prior were practically liquified upon the discovery of their deaths. In very high heat, decomposition of a snake happens amazingly fast. I may be permanently scarred from seeing my animals in that state, some that I had 10 years into, let alone having to talk about it, but I can at least say for certain it is definitely possible for a snake to get to that state of decomposition very, very quickly in high heat. I can see how that would happen with a small snake, (the body of a small snake will heat up faster) in 80 degree weather, with TWO heat packs. I don't enjoy having to come on here and talk about this, but if it helps people to realize that the snake was probably shipped out alive and well and died in transit, so be it. Snakes will tolerate cooler-than-optimal temps much better than they will hotter-than-optimal.

I just read the whole thread too... what ever happened Kevin?

As he stated before, he's taking legal avenues. It is more than likely he has been advised to avoid this thread for now.

PS Like several people have said, take me to court.

Wow... you said it huh?

I hate to say it but I think you may be right.

Good excuse to keep $4500 I guess?

Its not easy to do, ive tried. Sheriff dept was a big waste of time and money. Some one ripped me off $950! I couldnt image $4.5k. Karma is a you know what, people get what they deserve. Sorry you have to go through it.

All right guys, sorry for the suspense. I ended up getting someone to serve him and so that finally happened. Nothing new to really report I am trying to figure out what the next step is now. I was told its an automatic victory for me and I can go about garnishing his wages. You guys can keep up with the case with this.

OK, just got through and now I have to make a motion of default.

Good to hear, Kevin. Glad you stuck with going after him it even with the road bumps.

Wonder if Andrew will learn a lesson.
