ive got a mate whos been trying to sell his focus st for some time now, it wasnt selling in his garage so he decided to sell it privately,straight away he got interest and a young Asian lad came to look at it yesterday, bear in mind the car was up at £8500, the lad came to his house to look at it,with, what my mate thought was the intention of buying it, the lad then said "no mate im not interested" and left. He thought nothing of it and went out with his dad, to get back and find the car gone. He'd broken into the house stolen the keys log book and even forged a receipt with the invoice book from his garage.
If that was not enough, my mate has gone to the police to report it stolen, the police went to the asian lads house, for him to show them the receipt he had forged, but obviously the police wont know whos wrote it, and therefore claimed the car was rightfully his..
the next bit is just down right crazy my mate was arrested for wasting police time![]()
and has just been let out about an hour ago
This can't be right, surely?right ive just spoken to his best mate, as hes not really in the mood for talking right now tbh :/ there was a sign of forced entry an open window slightly broken, but the asian lad has claimed he has been set up in order for my mate to get the car back aswell as keeping money, with the lad having this "receipt" to the police that is proof of purchase, so have believed that the whole thing is a set up , and with regards to the bank withdrawals they guy said he paid cash which he has had saved up over time, so theres no way to trace it
ridiculous
