Hello - looking for suggestions or personal help with this situation.

Long story, short I paid a guy advertising on this site $4000 to start a engine build about 2 years ago. Guess things went bottoms up and all money was lost.

I got a local detective got involved and after a couple years of pressure, and a lawsuit, $2500 was finally returned.

Well the person in question up and moved to Cloverdale, IN to try and escape his "issues". He still owes me $1500. I would go the legal route but the fees will quickly equate to $1500 and I don't want to go further in the hole. Legal fees are included as being reimbursed in the original suit, but once/if a person files bankruptcy then you are out of luck. Not going to spend 1500 to recover 1500....

I have tried contacting the local police but not much luck there yet. However, not sure they will do much because of the situation???

Any suggestions on what else can be done to recover this $1500 remaining. I am willing to give someone a partial amount of the $1500 if they can make repayment happen. Not asking for anyone to do anything illegal, but open to suggestions, ideas, and again definately willing to compensation one for help in recovering this money if someone know someone local to Cloverdale, IN.
