The Ford Barn

I'm 60 years old, been messing with cars since I could hold a trouble light for my Dad. I've bought and sold a lot of car parts, pretty good at spotting the occasional dishonest guy.......... not this time though!

I put a WTB ad here and on the Early Ford V8 classifieds, looking for a pr of fender skirts for my 39 Merc. A guy named David "Gills" Hardy 1219 N. 76th St. Kansas City, KS. sends me pic of some skirts and a fair price. He requests payment via Moneygram, says he'll ship UPS and send me a tracking number.

Well, the money was picked up by his wife Karen Hardy 10 days ago, no tracking number, no skirts, no communication. Any suggestions what I should have done differently?? Thanks...
