Shane Kleinhans is a THIEF

Buyer beware!

In October 2024, Shane bought sets of my 1978 and 1984 Dukes replica license plate year sticker sets from my Etsy shop, 'Hazzard County Props.'

In total, he made three separate orders. Two for 1978 stickers and one for 1984 stickers. I also sent him 79, 80, 81, and 82 stickers as free extras.

Today, a friend sent me a screenshot from Shane's 'General Lee owners club' Facebook page, where he is now offering exact copies of the stickers that I just sold him.

All of my items are made from my own artwork. When original props are used for reference, I always get the permission of the owner first before selling replicas.

I actually do the work. I don't just copy other people's stuff without permission to make a quick buck.

If you want the best quality prop replicas from the actual source, you can get my license plate stickers, sheriff car vinyl decal sets, and more at my Etsy shop here:

The original license plate stickers were not reflective. They were printed on sticker paper. My replicas are made from a premium quality fade resistant and weatherproof vinyl.

Thanks.

Now he has blocked me with no response after I messaged him about this earlier today.

Using a fan page, (Hazzard Garage) Shane Kleinhans has made several inappropriate posts on my Hazzard County Gazette Facebook page. He also had some friends make posts. I have now banned them, but I want to address some of his false statements here. 

The original artwork for the license plates and stickers used in the show is not, and has never been, owned by Warner Bros. It was created by an independent prop house in LA, and the stickers were used for other non-WB productions.

Shane claims that my art is stolen from Travis Bell. Of course my stickers are going to look similar, because both of us created replicas that are based on the exact same original source material: the TV show and the surviving props. I don't have to steal anything from Travis Bell or anyone else. I actually do the work.

All of my plate stickers are recreated from screenshots, photos, and scans of original props. Check out the image in the link below. Those are all real, original Dukes plate stickers from the collection of a friend who gave me permission to use them as reference for my replicas. I have original 1980 and 1981 stickers from the show in my own collection. I don't have to steal anything.

Shane thought that I wouldn't find out and now he is reacting exactly as I expected. Falsely accusing me of stealing from others. Posting laugh reactions. The truth is that he bought stuff from me and then IMMEDIATELY used it as direct reference to make copies for resale. He blocked me as soon as I found out and messaged him about it. He knew exactly what he was doing. Every post trying to justify this is only making him look that much worse.
