Are there any honest people left?

I am so pissed off right now I need to vent. Last fall, I paid to have my boat winterized, the marina did not do it, and to make a long story short, I sued them and we settled for one grand. For the suit, I needed an expertise of the motor, so I took it to a reputable mechanic, he opened it, confirmed it had seized due to absence of antifreeze. I paid him $100 for his time (he took the heads off). Last evening, I went to pick up the boat after hours because I did not want to leave it on his lot, since I told him I was not going to do the repairs. Tonight, I was checking the inside, and I just found out he kept the heads and the carburetor !!!. Effen basteed imagined I was not going to notice or what? These are marine specific parts that are worth some coin, and that I would need if I find a replacement block. I trusted this guy, and now I have to go after him too???
