please keep an eye out

[calepeters]

hey if anybody sees a yellow ford probe with a black hood can you call 238-6906 please?

heres the story (partly my fault)

im selling my ford probe and this guy offers me 2000$ as asked so he pays me a downpayment of 400$ and comes back with a cheque the next day for 500$, he takes the car because he says he wants to work on it (not running condition) and will pay the rest 3 days later when he gets paid so i figured sure why not (thats where i went wrong) cashed the cheque and it bounced so i only have 400$ and he promised to come back and its now about 3 weeks later and he has not come back and he refused to answer his cell phone (i leave voice mails every day) and does not respond to emails, i called ama and apparently the car has been recently changed to somebody elses name and is registered and insured but the thing is i didnt give him a bill of sale or anything so how could he have done that?

and the car is running now, i saw it just today but was on deerfoot heading the other direction if you can keep your eyes open id greatly appreciate it

If you have legal ownership of the car (a past bill of sale or w/e) go down to the registry, bring your bill of sale. Talk to them, show them the bill of sale, make up some story about how you need to confirm your address and try to get the guys address from them, then go get the car yourself.

[btown]

i SWEAR i saw this car in Olds the other day...ill keep an eye out for it

[calepeters]

YES OLDS!!!!!!!!!!! he said he lived in olds but i didnt believe him because ive seen him in calgary a few times

and before when i tried to contact him, he was always able to be at my house within 20 minutes so i figured he was lying and lived in the area

[btown]

k well im keepin my eyes out for it!! its probably that fuckign Jaden kid again...fack! i wish i would have stopped at the fast gas and seen who it was cuz i know him... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[calepeters]

[calepeters]

thanks a lot man

[btown]

yea i got your number in my phone now haha and i'll call it once i see him...Olds is a small town ;) i'll have a look around tonight

[signature7]

what the fuck another one from olds. G'luck with everything.

[Hakkola]

OLDS! AGAIN? I think we should all stop selling our cars to people from Olds. Or we should just be a lot smarter with the sales...

[turbotrip]

that guy looks like the product of generations of inbreeding

[btown]

^ thats pretty much what Jaden is...lol

[canuckcarguy]

Call a bailiff, it will cost you some money, but the bailiff can seize it. Check for liens, if there isn't one on there yet, put your own lien on there. If there is a lien, still put one on. You should be able to claim ownership under a "purchase money security interest", but you don't have unlimited time to do this.

Hire the bailiff, he'll go out, find it, and tow it for you. It will cost you some money ($500-$1000, probably), but since the Probe left your possession not running, and now it runs, you'll lkely make out okay...

Good luck.

[avow]

hey, thats actually a really good idea with the bailiff. dont you have to have a bit more info then that? like a court order or something?

[btown]

got a VIN on the car? i might have found it...in a different color (spray painted)

[boredengineer]

Sucks your car was stolen but hot damn looking at your neighborhood it looks like you live in the ballin part of town... Those houses are freaking huge.

[TegLover]

you know its bad when I can't even trust lending someone $40. Most of the time you have to bug them about it to finally get them to pay you back. NEVER trust anyone, especially with money and if you really want to help someone by lending them money (or releasing a car in your case) then ask for a fucking collateral thats worth the same amount of more, i like to have insurance. Just my 2 cents.:thumbsup:

[cocoabrova]

Did you give him a signed bill of sale when he brought the $500 check? If not, then there should definitely be grounds for police to take action on. If you DID give him a bill of sale, I'm thinking your only option is small claims court.....

[JRSC00LUDE]

I don't mean anything personaly by this OP and I don't mean to insult, but what the hell were you thinking? I can't believe how stupid some people can be when they are selling a car. Can you go to a used car lot and give them less than half the asking price and drive away "in good faith" that you'll come back later with the rest of the money? I didn't think so, so why would you let some stranger (especially one that looks that inbred) do it to you?

I honestly hope you get through this without taking the whole shaft on it and I'm sure you've learned your lesson now but come on man, what were you thinking?

Let this be ANOTHER lesson to everyone else, pull your head out of your asses and quit making live easy for cheatin' stealin' lowlifes.

[pardip_johal]

sorry to hear...will keep an eye out :guns:

[gofastmerc]

Does he have a bill of sale?

Do you have another set of keys?

If no and yes, go get it. Olds aint that big of town.

[88CRXGUY]

Ill keep an eye out in the NE, that car is so easy to spot, not alot of yellow probe's running around.

[canuckcarguy]

Seriously, have you called a bailiff yet? You'll have to swear out a warrant and pay him some money, but at least you'll get the car back. The longer you wait, the less likely the bailiff will do it, and you'll eventually have to resort to a civil claim, which is a pain in the ass and takes a long time - plus your car will be long gone by then, and good luck actually collecting the money.

This is probably your only option.

If he does have a signed bill of sale the cops WILL NOT classify it as stolen. They will file a fraud report and pass it on to their investigator.

Smalls claims or negotiating with the guy directly are your only options.

Sorry to hear about this. I'm currently in a similar situation with a different imbred fuck from Olds. As mentioned above.

why don't people just demand cash?! They either have it or they don't

[calepeters]

ok ya just some quick things if anybody happens to see it
he put hyundai rims on it and i also noticed a 4 inch muffler now and ya its likely spray painted another colour

VIN is 1ZVLT22B8R5179951

and no he has the only key and i did not give him a bill or sale so if he has one then its fake

[Toms-SC]

Dude, report it stolen already.

[calepeters]

the cops called back and said they could do nothing about it if theirs anyway this helps weve found out the licence plate is EYU305

[D. Dub]

^^^^ OK that just makes no sense.

Is there some piece of the puzzle you're not telling us?

He took your car w/out paying for it or getting a bill of sale.

How is that not actionable by the police?!?!?

[gofastmerc]

Because he let him drive it away? :dunno:

Seems weird to me too.

[calepeters]

ya the cops said since i gave him the keys its not stolen even tho he didnt pay which sounds pretty stupid to me too

[403Gemini]

CPS probably cant do anything unless the guy is in Calgary. if you have the guys last name try and find him via whitepages.ca

or just call the olds rcmp:

Olds
5110 - 65 Ave
Olds, AB T4H 1L8

(403) 556-3324

edit: and when you report it dont say you gave him the keys or some crap like that - tell them the truth , this fucker stole your car, he gave you a deposit (which bounced) and said he was going to bring you the rest of the $$$.

[calepeters]

*just an update*

thanks for everyone who helped me out, i couldnt have done it without you, the guy has been found and is in crap for a fake bill of sale and as well was told by the police that he has to pay:thumbsup:

[Destinova403]

dope... shitty about the car being stolen in the first place cale... whats its condition man? this is Dane by the way...

[calepeters]

oh haha hey man, the cars pretty much a piece of crap so i wasnt expecting to get much for it but it needs like 1200$ worth of repairs soooo, but at least i get my money right? im thinking of getting an 88 rx-7 turbo II

[rmk]

That's good news that the car has been found.

Surprised there haven't been any photoshops yet.

[calepeters]

haha nice pic man thats hillarious im gonna have to keep that one lol, but naw it sold because he was holding it for me and the guy never gave me my money so i couldnt pick it up and then he got tired of waiting (understandly he held it for almost 3 weeks) and sold it

[Destinova403]

lame as hell that was a nice car. jon is thinking of getting a '01 Neon R/T, its really nice. ask him to send you some pics.

[calepeters]

ya for sure, the new neons are pretty nice but the old ones BLEH but even an older neon is better then an intrepid haha

[Destinova403]

lol... hey man his intrepid is pretty dope... he had a bunch of subs in that thing and everything... nothing under the hood though :P

[calepeters]
