    The owner of "jungle motors" - (maker of a Plug in Prius kit called Plug in Solutions - a junk knockoff copy stolen from the legitimate company "Plug in Supply") and his wife were killed. Police won't say how or why.
    What was behind killings of San Juan Capistrano couple? - The Orange County Register
    I believe it was the guy's wife who tried to smear the legitimate company right here on PC by signing up and making a single post a half decade ago :
    plug-in supply VS plug in solutions ... scam? | PriusChat
    ... but one of PC's own DIY owners quicky came to the defense to defend the honest party:
    Read all the web articles on all the untold plaintiffs these people had and you see the writing on the wall. I suspect the police will never figure out who killed these two. After all - you can only cheat so many people. That'd leave way too many suspects - way too many people with an ax to grind. What a shame that one of our own was a scamer.

    Interesting and weird... that article on the right side has numerous links to related articles about them/the company.

    Based on my experience, Plug In Supply is the illegitimate company.

    it's almost as if they're russians or something. but then, they probably wouldn't have wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
