Just a heads up for you guys, again a thieving bastard has taken another car.
My mate put his car up for sale; as there was only a few black editions up for sale he got a few interested buyers.
An asian guy came to see it and offered just below the asking price to which my friend accepted.
The guy drove it and said hed come back with a deposit and also bring his wife for which he was buying the car.
So yesterday (Friday) he comes again without his wife saying she gone to a family gathering and left my mate with £200 depsoit. My friend called me a few times over the past couple of days and said the guy was quite simply weird.
Anyway after handing over the deposit he asked my mate for a test drive again to which my mate replied that nothing had changed from the last time he drove it. I think this was lucky as god knows what he could have done when out for a drive.
He then asked if he could take a picture of the logbook to show his wife. My mate declined saying there was no need. Anyway he left saying hed come back tomarrow with his wife and collect.

So last night my mate has come back from a night out and his car is gone.
Hes suspecting it to be the buyer and thinks the guy switched the key when looking around the car.

Be careful as this could happen to anyone of us.
Hope the guy gets run over, <beep>!

Easiest way of finding out - don't tell the buyer, call their bluff and see if they turn up to collect. There is no way they'd come back with the money if they had indeed nicked it

Bstatds.

Funny you say that; my mate tried calling the number this morning a few times and it was off.
So my mate messaged him "you <beep>" and he replied saying mate are you trying to do me for £200?
Then his phone is off again.
The weird thing is if that was me id call back if i received such a text and would be livid.
This guy obviously doesnt care. Has to be him.
