Dodgy Courier

TMP · 07-19-2011, 08:34 AM

So this Fifty-something, scruffy courier makes no conversation until I am signing his pad....

...then just says "Fast BM then?

...I say "Err, economical its a diesel"

...He looks at the badge "really"

...and says nothing else.

creeped me out, sure he is just a weido rather than a scout for Russian export nicked cars

Express · 07-19-2011, 08:36 AM

definite but a boot on it to avoid those dodgy russians

JLR1969 · 07-19-2011, 09:45 AM

I think you are over reacting. Will see in the morning who is right

They're all weird, that's why they're couriers

TMP · 07-19-2011, 09:54 AM

Maybe I shouldn't of had that M badge on the back as well

dxb335d · 07-19-2011, 12:13 PM

Nothing dodgy at all, he just showing a passing interest in a super-saloon. You really should have told him it's the "Bowlacks". Which it is.

WTF,

The guy asked a question, why not answer honestly.... NO MATTER what answer you gave him... if he wanted to nick it he would.

Most car thieves don't knock on doors.

Just he was a bit strange and didn't say anything until I had signed.

zltm089 · 07-20-2011, 05:53 AM

yeah maybe he was just being a friendly car enthusiast....but u never know these days...i wud keep an eye open...

TMP · 07-20-2011, 08:47 AM

Well good news is my car is still here...

....but then maybe the gang wait a few days

MEGA · 07-21-2011, 04:20 AM

What about today. Car gone yet?

BanziBarn · 07-21-2011, 04:55 AM

I'm pretty sure that by you saying it was fast, or not, it wouldn't be the deciding factor on whether he's going to nick the car or not

He only needs to look at the badge to know it's a swift one

Anyway, unless he can get at your keys, it'll be very hard to nick.... I'm sure he just likes cars, but has no interpersonal skills, which may have led him down the career path he is in!

TMP · 07-21-2011, 07:20 AM

That is part of the worry though - thieves now need to get the cars which are in your house....

....hence since we had the Scooby (it had a decent imob), keys are always left downstairs.

When did you last check the car? 10mins ago? This morning?

It could be stolen by now

Hehe. Sorry

TMP · 07-21-2011, 07:46 AM

oh thanks fella

JJD · 07-21-2011, 04:10 PM

Economy is the new sexy..

Would've been better off saying it's fast as fook but only does 15mpg.
