Bit of a warning

Hi all
A friend of one of the guys at work had a clubsport for sale.
Someone came round for a look at it, checked the car out, popped the bonnet and started the car.
they sat in the drivers seat and gave it a few revs, then asked if they could go for a spin.
The guy selling it naturally went round to shut the bonnet, as he walked around to get in the passenger seat the guy took off with the car.
This happened last night so thought I would let you all know to be careful when selling vehicles.

sorry to hear.. this also happened to a friend of mine exactlly same thing went to pull roller door down n guy took off.. car found outside of horsham 3 days later...be careful guys n gals..!!!!

This sort of thing has been around for a while the last time I heard about this they would ask to go for a test drive and once they got half way around the block they would say something along the line of “It feels like the left rear tyre is flat can you just check it” once you get out the car to have a look they get on the gas by the time you know what’s has happened it is to late.
