Good point. Getting a default judgment on his ass can fuck his credit up and cause his ass some pain down the road. While it's not the same as getting the $6K back, the satisfaction that you contributed to that scumbag's eventual downfall does give some measure of relief and satisfaction.

Win your case (5k).
Then proceed to locate him and his bank accounts. Place lien on bank account and suck the money out. You can get reimbursed for the lien costs.
This way you will only be out one thousand instead of six thousand.
If by some chance you can come up with financial reasons to bump your six grand loss high enough to meet the superior court minimums do so. Then just do the same again. A paralegal can get all the paperwork done for you and you can represent yourself in court, unless he does fight it (again in CA).
