STOLEN: 1993 Mazda Rx-7 Silver

PLEASE HELP..

Year: 1993
Model : RX7 T/T Touring
Color: Silver
Mileage : 101,700

http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.ph...4#post10046134

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…

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.
