we were disscussing stuff about the car and i thought he was also going to get out of the car... instead he drove off!

That's terrible. But I guess it's a lesson for everyone to get their driver's license number, name and address before even giving them the keys for a second. I'll keep an eye out mate. Did you have insurance?

yes i know, however i am a very trusting person... not anymore i spose!

thankfully the car is fully insured!

still man, liek when my old skyline was on the market i never let anyone test drive it until, i was always taking them for a test drive, thats just me, i underrstand your a trusting person because i wa sliek that at one stage but something similar to this situation happened so thats it, just hit me straight away not to let anyone drive it at all, but you got insurance so its all sweet,

cheers mate

This isn't the first time such an incident has happened. A few years back there was a similar incident that happened to someone with a yellow S15.

There should be close circuit cameras in the petrol station though. I reckon the police will look into them.

Reminds me of harold and kumar where doogie stole the camry in the petrol station.

Anyways some f*kn crappy world we live in with shit people like this; dont worry its insured... i read an insurance book recently and the car is covered on testdrives where you are a passenger.

Bad luck man. Shit like this makes me fearful of selling my car.

Basically when I do sell it and someone wants a test drive, they will have to provide drivers license etc., aswell as putting down a substantial deposit before they even think of sitting in the drivers seat.

WTF! so sorry to hear this Mark :(

Where did the guy leave his car when he came to your house to test drive the S15? must have doubled back to pick up his car, or did someone drop him off?

i remember you telling me what a clean S15 that was :(

That's terrible. I hope you get a good pay out from insurance.

GTRBOS. What do you want? A medal because you wouldn't let anyone test drive your car? It's not his fault that the car got stolen.

As others have said get the petrol station's footage and hopefully some witnesses that were there and insurance will hopefully sort it all out.

im fairly sure shannons will look after me... i didnt give him permission to drive away with it,,.... its still considered theft!

as for CCTV footage... he cleverly parked it out of range of the cameras just before he took off with it... so no video footage unfortunatly
