My daughters friend’s boyfriend agreed to purchase a Honda Legend and a Mitsubishi Shogun from a man he knew where he works at a city bank. The cars were imports direct from Japan at silly prices. The cars were almost new with all guarantees, paperwork, etc. The cars duly arrived at the docks and the guy in question paid cash for them and had them driven home. Weeks later, after he had registered the cars, he received a letter from insurance claims people saying that the cars had both been stolen in Japan and if he did not come to an agreement with the claims assessors to pay them an agreed amount for the stolen cars they would serve him with a High Court writ, make a complaint to the police and have the cars seized as stolen property. To cut a long story short, the buyer had to pay the money to get legal title to the cars. There also is an intriguing finish to this sad story. When thoroughly checking both cars the buyer found an enormous quantity of Gillette Mach One razor blades, well concealed in them. These razor blades were later found to be fakes and the crooks had obviously forgotten to take them out of the cars before they were sold on. Please warn your readers about this peril. The razor blades could easily have been parcels of drugs. The consequences for a gullible buyer could have been disastrous.
