I'm mental mental chicken oriental

You need to get Columbo on this case... Its just doesn't stack up....
You are 23k and a car down.
Get to a solictors straight away.
Inform your Insurance company on what has happened, straight away.
Did the officers take down the details of where you bought the car from and how you paid for it?
Why haven't you been round to the house you bought it from? Even if its just a drive past to see if anyone still lives there. (Oh i forgot for a minute, you haven't got a car)
As said previously, you are very calm about the matter.
I am beginning to think, either, this is what a mate of yours has commited, and he has been caught and you are wondering what the outcome is likely going to be, or, all this is pub talk.
The Police would not fob you off like that, and would put you intouch with the officer in charge.
Keep us updated on the progress.

well then is your mouth all brown ?

2014 RRS for £23k???????????????

What planet are your from?

Seriously, if this isn't a wind up then your naivety astounds me!

And if it is genuine, I cant believe you haven't been back round his house, as soon as the "police" left my house I would be straight round there along with as many mates as I could round up demanding my money back or at least finding out if he is still living there.

Something just doesn't add up to me with this story

Chisin669,

When you dial 101 you have the option to select a certain force.
Or you could just ring the Met Police direct: 020 7230 1212

here is my advice on this matter, ring your Insurance company,and ask them where your car is, they have the means to locate the vehicle for you, as all vehicles siezed by the police, recovery trucks and even clampers have to input the data onto a central database that the Insurance companies have access to.Then take it from there

At this point I'd have scrolled on to the next ad...

Updating after I called the Met from 101 this morning.

The person on the phone took lots of information from me, but finally said she doesn't know anything about this case!!! She referred me to The Crime Management Unit in the West Minister Met Police. I called the number and only ask me to provide the case number and a message, should hear from them soon. I obtained the up to date crime reference number today, at least I know there is a case opened.

I enquired from the local police station and the Met, both said I must not go down to the house where I got the car from.

Is not that I am calm, I have lost 23K and let's say I can't get anything back. What else can I do?

Yes it was a typo, The car was a 2010 RRS white, on market should be around £30K

The guy wanted cash so I supposed I could get it at least 10% cheaper which makes it around £27K.

The car paint work is not in good condition and all wheels were scuffed. I think it would cost around 2-3K to repair.

He originally asked for £24.5K, so it does kind of make sence if you know what I mean

What can u suggest?

It seems the feds were onto it quickly so hopefully they may catch the sod before your money disappears. 2007 RRS 2.7 HSE - Java Black

So the police suggest you don't go to the house......and they haven't suggested they will......

The Insurance company tell you to write a letter... I bet if he's still in the house , which i'm sure he won't be. he will be shaking in his shoes....

It is no wonder some people are attracted to this sort of brazen crime when they seem to be able to commit it with near

impunity... 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's
2013 Porsche Boxster S 3.4
2014 Audi A3 S line Quattro
---------------------------------

This house is probably a short let..... set up for a month... everything forged to facilitate doing several of these in 10 days and then relocating and doing the same....
Forged utility bills.... easy to do.... pictures in the house and a baby running around give more credibility to the scam.....

So sorry for your aggro and loss.... 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

2. i don't think you will get very far with the police / insurance company as theres also another party involved in this loss

3. i wouldn't hesitate in spending a few quid and sending an enforcer to see this chap with a few options the first being your money back theres plenty of people out there who offer services like this
