Dave I'm having a drink or three right now even if you ain't Been on the edge of my seat since it happened and now need to relax

I totally agree with JJ, reckon he planned on paying all along, but had no other way of paying for it up front. So being the brash type they are, he thinks nothing of doing what he did, likewise Police will not even bother as they know his type and it would just be a total waste of resources.

 

[Zains Pops]

Really pleased it all turned out right in the end.

Perhaps you should buy a lottery ticket today as clearly the good luck angel is sitting on your shoulder right now and maybe she can give you one more lucky time.

That is absolute rubbish!!! You have every right to report it stolen, because the 'buyer' did not return from the so called 'test drive' he took to check the smoke! Any copper worth his salt would know you were conned. Always get the number of the officer you are dealing with, you may need it. Ask for a crime number. The police are EMPOWERED to take your complaint, before they clear off down to the takeaway, or go shopping, etc. It is their prerogative to charge you with wasting police time if all proves to be OK, but reading your post, I doubt if it is OK.

I full agree, have you got the name and or collar number of whoever told you that, go back and ask to speak to a senior office not less than Inspector level and always get the name of who you speak to.

I suggest that he had to return in order to get full title and to pass it on to his buyer. If he hadn't I suspect he would have ended up in some bog in Ireland

 

[calion]

What an extraordinary series of events. Whoever would have thought it would end like that? Really chuffed that you got your money though!

 

[Ambilkate]

Having worked with some very unpleasant people in my timeit may work if you ask for the van back undamaged and he can have his deposit back and no further problems. He might just want it to end with no trouble. Not good from the point of view of justice, but at least you have the van back. Sorry to read about your problems. Nice people think everyone has their standards, but unfortunately this isn't true!

Who said crime don't pay?

 

[CWH]

Thinking back to the title of your thread Lugnutt, it's been a horrid couple of weeks and I know it'll stay with you, but try to get back out there and as you start to enjoy your motorhoming again, you'll take control of what happened to you.
I really hope that all the support you've had from Funsters has gone some way to helping you get your enthusiasm back.

They have the cheek of the devil lol...so he had a buyer and needed to get it to them before he could pay you?. fantastic news must be such a relief!

 

[Jaws]

So glad you got the result mate.. That is now 100% success rate !!

 

[gwyntaxi]

Crumbs. Keep us informed Dave.... and if he does bring cash, then at some point in the conversation drop in that you are straight off to the bank to put it in the safe box .. don't let him think there is mone in the house overnight.

I WOULD GET IT TO THE BANK SHARPISH IN ANY CASE OR GET OUT AND BUY A FORGED NOTE DETECT
-ION PEN,BEFORE,YES BEFORE HE ARRIVES WITH THE "CASH"COS A HANDFUL OF FORGED FIFTIES ARE NO GOOD TO ANYBODY,JUST A THOUGHT.GWYNTAXI.

Just been through the threads and seen the great news. Congratulations, glad all came good for you in the end.
What's your next purchase assuming you are replacing it?
Best wishes.

 

[Apache]

It's so easy to think you can trust people when you see them and make a quick character assessment , but as you have learned Lugnutt , it often isn't the case. I don't know you but my heart goes out to you and really hope you get a good outcome. Also how nice of Movan to make the offer.

 

[funflair]

Read the posts people, it's all over.

Good result all the same.
