Really long story but I'll try to dish only the skeleton

6:30pm was going home(Isolo) on last Friday when i got to the popular ladipo market .
There was go slow on the way and my car was on the far left of the road.
A guy passed by me and pointed to my bonnet I ignored him n continued along.
Another came and this time was insistent so I had to roll down a little after which he told me that
there was smoke form my bonnet.I promptly shut down the engine,got down,opened the bonnet and checked.
NOTHING , but he insisted that he saw smoke that i should try n start it again which i did n he claimed it gave a spark n
that i should not attempt to restart the car.
He and another fellow then ''helped'' me in pushing the car to a safe place n he went to call a rewire for me.
The rewire came,checked n told me to start the car again.I did n it refused to start.
He claimed there was a device there that is leaking n he went to call the spare part dealer with a spare.
time= 7:15pm
The rewire went under the hood n bought out a leaking device n changed with the spare part.
by these time there were suspicious looking xters all around
Payment
was told it cost 18000 naira.
had only 7000 naira with me n managed to give the spare part dealer 5000 naira,rewire 1000 naira .
exchanged numbers with the spare part dealer to come for his balance the next day.
thanked them n zoomed off
Next DAY
Went to call another rewire to confirm that the car is okay n that what was changed was not fake.
Alas,it was all a setup.Nothing was changed n they have me down by 6000 naira plus changed.
What do will call this. Robbery with my active participation.

BEWARE

Discovered lated that the rewire smartly disconnected the wire leading to the alternator and the show was opened from there on.

Next time, call your mechanic to come with tow van if you must need a mechanic.

Haaaaa happened to me before at same spot, but i did not allow them touch anything and just risk moving the car forward to iyana- isolo before calling a rewire who told me the car was perfectly okay.

are you all new in Lagos?

not new man
guess every dog has it's day
