I'm a commercial real estate broker and I work with property management all the time. In Colorado, a landlord can't lock you out of the Premises unless the Tenant is a certain period of days late on rent (per the negotiated Lease) or a sheriff's eviction. Curious how late HPF is.

It's pretty simple. If you have money tied up with them for a pending order, contact your credit card company and/or bank to retrieve your funds. You won't be receiving whatever you purchased.

Your asking if you can order merchandise from a company that essentially went bankrupt?

Your either the most loyal customer or not too bright.

i was suppose to pick up the car today but did not hear from anyone .
just sent Eric an email hope to hear a update from him some time soon.
from what I know its definitely been a circle jerk to get it out of there.
but there is no doubt it will be soon.

On sums of money of a couple grand or more it requires the signature of both or all owners for the banks to cash the cheques on the account.

Its reported that the Gross Revenues for HPF was around 4 million dollars annually. That may sound like a lot but thats considered a small company and I am sure the reported 4 million dollars gross revenues is exaggerated slightly. I don't buy that a firm that size could let 200k cash just walk out and nobody notice. That makes no sense at all.
Lots of overly empowered employees have check writing privileges in many small businesses everywhere.

e46 fanatics seems to have the most up to date info.

Sucks to see something like this happen, on paper 175k doesn't sound like a lot but it can be crippling to any business. Unfortunately a lot of small businesses are highly leveraged on inventory and/or credit because they feel cash in hand can't give them a rate of return as high as reinvesting it into the business.
Also there are ways for those empowered employees with extensive privileges in their perspective company to go without jail sentences, cold turkey-- while embezzling tens of thousands of dollars. There are still repercussions just not jail....
