Stolen Bonneville?
 

So I usally search craigslist every once in a while to check for bonnevilles and such and I come across this...

http://detroit.craigslist.org/pts/606383700.html

So I email the guy....
"Are you still parting out this car? Where are you located?
Looking for headlights, taillights, rims, and interior parts.
Let me know, Thanks."

He responds with...
"no front end but everthing else packet deal 400cash no check"

I say
"okay whats your location? Any more pics?"

He responds with...
"harper n i94 area i can get sum pic do u have a cam phone"


So if I go check this car out what do you think I'll find?
I wonder if he talks like he types... :roll:

Really bad area of the D, more then likely stolen and hidden in a garage. Do me a favor and dont go by yourself. If need be, I'll go with you

Ya thats what I figured, I Should just call the police, let them go check it out.

Dont waste your time. It wouldn't be too high on their to do list.

I saw the car a couple days ago on craigslist and thought the same thing.

There are worse areas of Detroit, but I still wouldn't go alone. :lol:

There's no other reason to be parting out that new of a car. :? Probably selling it to buy some weed or something.

I can't speak specifically for Detroit, but stolen vehicles, and in particular chop shops are a high priority with most departments. They often even have metro teams involved so jurisdiction issues don't come up. I'd report it...let them decide.

(but don't report it until you get the parts you need) :lol:

well, if you did buy it, id make sure to hide that thing :lol:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:



yeah.....um...probably not....99% odds its for either:

yes the car is stolen. However it does not matter. It is detroit. The cops have better things to do.

stay away if i were you.

Why not call the police in that area and ask if they;re looking for a stolen white 05 Bonne? If they are - keep away. If you buy stolen parts and the police trace them back to you they'll confiscate the parts and you won't ever see your cash again.

Someone felt brave enough to drive their Bonneville down there (Harper and I94 area)

Looks like a rough area. Trust your instincts, it is smells fishy, it probably is. Not worth it.

WTF?????

HOW'D YOU DO THAT?

Total luck, I know downtown Detroit has its "neighborhoods" so I looked for Harper and I94 and just happened to Street View and there was a Bonneville. I've spent the better part of 25 mins walking thru Detroit with Street view....wow, just...wow. Sad.

Yup, Detroit isn't exactly the nicest place around. I have been there enough to know that. My mom was born in Detroit, and raised there until she was 9 years old, the her and my grandparents moved to Hamtramck until she was 16, then her and my grandma moved here to Ohio, and met my Dad. They had a very rough life there, but my Mom was and is a fighter, and kicked anybody's ass that messed with her. :lol:

ANYTIME and I mean anytime someone doesn't accept check and only wants cash or money order, its a bad deal. It means they want a sure means of getting the money without you finding out of the fraud and hence getting your money back in time. Craglist, Ebay, or in person.

No, not necessarily. Cash is 1000% easier to work with. There's too much fraud with checks and money orders. Very, very little fraud with cash. Just because someone only accepts cash doesn't mean it's a bad deal. 99% of the stuff I sell on craigslist I ONLY accept cash. I'm not a crooked seller. :?

i agree, i would MUCH rather accept cash then check as a seller, then you know its good. pretty much....

i also agree with ya vital. cash is just easier. much less worries about fake cash, than check or m.o.
