Need advice: I asked a schoolmate to help repair/sell my motorcycle, but now he won’t answer my calls. What should I do?
I’m an overseas Chinese / foreign student studying at Lunghwa University. I’m a pretty low-profile person and I just want to live quietly, make money, and avoid drama. But this guy keeps dragging things out, and I honestly feel like I have no other choice now.
Here’s what happened:
I previously asked Xiao Hai (address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HZetrGyV4LLGvmzf6) to help repair and sell my GSX motorcycle. At first, I waited a full six months and still got no result. Later, when I asked to take the bike back, he told me I had to pay NT$20,000 for the repair costs, and I somehow managed to gather the money and paid him.
There were actually some other issues during the payment process too, but I’ll keep those out for now so this post doesn’t get too long. Even though there had already been some problems, I still chose to trust him one last time (yes, I know, I was stupid) and let him keep the bike to help sell it.
But after I found a buyer myself and asked for my bike and documents back (yes, stupid x2) so I could sell it on my own, he completely disappeared and stopped answering my calls.
I’m only trying to get back the motorcycle that already belongs to me, but it feels like I’m begging him to give it back.
Dear fellows taiwanese what should I do in this situation? Can I report this to the police? And if I do report it, what will happen to my motorcycle?
