Deputies say Evans admitted to running the chop shop when they confronted him. He specialized in late model Ford Mustangs. Deputies found parts of at least five Mustangs in the shop.</p> <p>Deputies located the chop shop through a LoJack tracking system, investigators said.</p> <p>"The LoJack did serve its purpose, assisting the deputy in locating the shop," Sheriff's spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda said. "That led us to find the four other vehicles."</p> <p>Rob Frary worked next door to the chop shop for eight months and said he never had any idea there was criminal activity going on.</p> <p>"It's just crazy.
