Heres what Happened:





Met the guy Saturday night - NO problem ..let me think about after test drive
text came in 3pm saying : can i see the car in day time so i can decide 100%
4pm sunday at target mall
many people around
w/ sec. camera around
test drove - no problem
negotiation - no problem
4:20pm front of target (many people and Sec camera)
in parking lot
he asked me "can i hear your engine one more time before i make my final decision)
standing next to him 24"
he starts up (24" front of me)
and took off from the parking lot

I just wanted to make sure you guys dont get scammed when this happens and make sure that who ever buys your car you get there ID and a Lic plate of the car they came in. Unless that was stolen too that wouldnt help you much.



Just a heads up…Keep an eye out for any/all of these parts, just in case they show up on Craigslist/Ebay or whatever…

some one just drove the car away with him watching... he asked your boy for a test drive in teh parking lot... AND THEN DROVE OUT...

yea. sucks. but steve is the nicest guy you'll meet.. some asshat took advantage of it..

the car has rare parts so it'll be easy to spot if you know what you're looking for..

i hope they catch the bastard.

 

These stories make we want to sick to my customer. I hope they find this guy and put him in pound me in the *ss prison. Do not get me started on capital punishment either.

 

I wonder if the police dept can use the Target security cameras to see if the thief was caught on video?

People are evil, never trust anybody!

SIMILAR STORY that we can all learn from:
A similar scam happened to my friend's cousin while selling his car on craigslist. The 'buyer' shows up (supposedly dropped off by a friend) and asked for a test drive.

At first the cousin drives around and eventually, the 'buyer' asked if he could take the car for a spin. The cousin walks out the door first and started going around the car to go to the passenger side. Guess what? The 'buyer,' while still inside, jumped to the driver side, locked the door and took off! Car was found months later.

 

wait is the op Cheston Chiu? sorry for OT
