Shed more light on the theft if you really want to recover it. . . . The car might be en-route COTONOU now already

sorry bro, pray u find it,

@friendl

Sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident. The criminal certainly wont try to sell the same car here nairaland as all of us here will certainly from now on be on the look out. Perhaps they might changes the car's colour before they sell it but the vin number should be the main area of focus for you.

This is absolutely disastrous and stupefying and my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and any inconviences this has caused.


Regards

Sorry to hear this bro, hope you have insurance for your dealership?
We will be on look out for it and i pray that the culprit will be apprehended sooner than later.
Please make sure it is reported to the authority as well.

Sorry to hear this, hope you're covered by insurance, or it's recovered soon.

@ sienna.
Its amazing how skilled this criminals can be.  Most times they operate as organised gangs, and have a leader or if you might want to call him"the governor" (usually a fat ,muffin and cappuccino eating bastard) who instructs them on what make and model of car has been requested for.  They then go out on the hunt for the specific type of car.

I worked at "TRACKER NETWORK COMPANY" in Uxbridge ,Middlesex for years and my time there enlighted me a lot.      This criminal's knick the motor and go straight to the breakers to dismantle it for parts,  or take the car to their experts who also work as part of their syndicates to scratch off the VIN number and the replace it with a fictitious vin number and sell the car off to unsuspecting buyers.  Another method is the use of some sort of infrared-like device to disable the tracker, hence making the tracker malfunction and the car untraceable.

@ POSTER.  Again I really sympathise with you. Hope the authorities can do what they can.

The man should be between 60years and above,my partner that followed him into the vehicle told me that he pointed gun at him, please any good information ,.and he claimed that he saw this camry from nairaland,, l don't understand what the idiot was saying,,

Sorry bro, I hope you get your car back. Never allow customers take your car for a test drive all by themselves. It's a game of chance, they may or may not come back.

P.S: I did't realise it was an armed robbery!

@friendl

It could indeed have been worse.  You and your friend need to thank God the truant didnt shoot at your friend.  It could have been a different sequence of event.

REGARDS

Accept my sympathy and hope you find it soon. Hard luck!

bro, sorry for the incident. Did u advertise the car on nairaland? did u meet the man at nairaland or he just came to u guys. I pray u get ur car back.

The useless old man that perpetrate this evil act will live to regret his action in life. Nemesis will surely catch up with him and God will find him out. Accept my sincere sympaty.

Yes, it was advertised on nairaland, the first time he called me, he told me that he saw the post on nairaland, he have been coming to the park almost everyday , he comes with mechanics to check the engine, l wouldn't blame my partner then, u guys should be very careful,please

Very sorry to hear this, it's such a shame, And to the person (I'm trying so hard not to name-call) that put those smiley faces below and posted "hahahaha", what human would laugh at such an inccident? My goodness!!! It's a shame that to even allow someone to test drive a car in Nigeria these days that you have to pat the person down first to make sure they don't have a weapon. Just thinking about it, even if the theif said he saw it on Nairaland he could have given out a diferent Nairalander's name, Very to sorry to hear this!!

realy sad to hear this,they will pay some day for there doings.

lsorry about the incident.
i think we all need to be more careful and vigilant since we approaching december and we know how rough things get in lagos during that period.
who would ever suspect a 60 yr old man who posed as a serious buyer, am sure they are others who are currently here trying to throw one scam or the other,

Nairalanders Don't even know what to say

friendl, ill suggest you send an email to the owner of nairaland, so that he can sticky this topic on the front page His email address is

friendl, this is to wish you the best of luck in recovering the vehicle. This thread will remain as a sticky in the auto section for a few days.

Friendl that was fast !!!  I wish you a quick recovery !!!

@friendl, So sorry BUT I hope u've reported the case to the police [You'll be shocked @ wat they can do "IF" they knuckle down] wat u got to loose?
Anyway, to the "buyers" on Nairaland wanting to buy a car and get another free or @ halfprice TAKE CAUTION @ ridiculously low priced car!!!
Pay wat the ride is worth and double check all details esp. cars not shipped directly into 9JAR via the ports!!!! Yep, I said it CAUTION !!!

It's a sad state of affairs.

I think it's best, if a potential buyer comes down with a friend or 2, and wants to test drive your car, insist on only 1 person boarding the vehicle. It's not a circus, and only one person can drive at a time anyway.

Also, it would be a good idea if you as the seller, had a friend or 2 with you. If the potential buyer is genuine, I'm sure he / she'll understand.

Good luck all.

why not give a decription of the car and the thief, , this might just help and better still the area where it was stolen exaclty. just hope the thief had no papers yet with him,
