So true ! .

Fully 90 % of the works I do involve fixing DPO / DPM bodges .

When I worked for L.A.P.D. in the 1980's we had auto fraud cars that were *pristine* ~ they'd send them out to bad shops and do teardowns after wards ~ wood screws in the carby, and worse .

Something to remember, there is a difference between fraud and incompetence. The first is intentional and the second from a lack of knowledge.

It is unfortunate there isn't a department that goes after "customers" that intentionally defraud shops with bad checks, swapped parts , sabotage.

Agreed, when I ran my own shop I occasionally got dishonest customers too, one in particular was from the California Consumer Protection Board who thought he'd skin me for a free rebuilt engine, wrong .

Being honest is occasionally more work than cheating but some people just cannot be honest .

The is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience .
