Pathways Concrete S.E. Taylor theft, didn't start work Montgomery Illinois

They asked for a down payment up front on June 6, 2013 for a job that would be completed (weather-permitting) about two weeks later.  The check was cashed on June 10th and I heard little about when the project would actually get done.  Following this time, they kept rescheduling the work date and not answering phone calls.  

After several months, I found that they had not even tried to get a permit from the City because they said they didn't need one (which was not true).  The city went after them to get this permit and months later they filed with several different addresses, which was suspicious.  I continued to call and they stopped answering my calls in October.  I asked for my deposit back since they did not do any work and I have still heard nothing.  I've filed a report with the police because I had a signed contract for work that they bailed on - they took the down payment and disappeared, which is theft.  At this point, I just want my money back and don't care to do any business with them.  

If you are reading this, mail me a cashier's check with my deposit back unless you would rather deal with the police.
