My car was stolen, I think I found it for sale on CList!

Ok my car was stolen about 2 weeks ago, I posted it stolen everywhere and I know a lot of people who are also looking out for it, a friend of mine found this ad and it was posted on a few car forums because its suspicious as hell. Its my car exactly and the ad was flagged after 15 minutes of being up but I got a screen cap of it and the police say they cant track a phone number (yea right) so basically I'm seeking any help finding out an address or name. I had liability coverage so its 100% loss for me and I have no car now :(. So what little of it I can recover maybe I can make some cash back...ANY HELP finding this guy is appreciated! BTW he doesnt answer the phone when I call.

lol exactly, the cop said "dispatch could only find out that the phone number was a mobile phone", Thanks chief Wiggum. They probably just googled it, because thats about what it says.

If this is the car, this is clearly the worst criminal in history.

TrittyOP•

Yeah, but 500$ for that whole car is a ridiculous price, the motor alone is worth 3k+ and the 5lug is worth 600+. So hes clearly an idiot either way. And in Illinois if you lose a title you can request a new one for a small fee, like 30$...so if he really lost it he would just get a new one not sell the car for 1/10th what its worth...

You're lucky he's too dumb to sell it to a chop shop, if the engine is worth that much.

What a horrible criminal. If I was a car thief I'd be embarrassed.

lol isnt that just a reddit sms text joke between strangers or is this an actual service?

It is a reddit joke, so you'd have to send the messages.

Did you know, the gestation period for cats is around 63-65 days. Sizes of a cats litter averages around three to five kittens, with the first litter usually smaller than subsequent litters. Kittens are weaned at between six and seven weeks, and cats normally reach sexual maturity at 4-10 months (females) and to 5-7 months (males).

Go look at the car, verify the vin matches your title, and tell the fucker you have 911 dialed and will call unless he lets you drive it away.

I'm a socially awkward penguin if there ever was one, so I'm kinda hesitant to meet with this potential criminal. Ive called and a Hispanic lady answered and she didnt know what ad I was calling about, couldnt really communicate very well either though so who knows.

You need some buff friends. Trust me, they are handy as fuck. Whenever I used to go on potentially sketch craigslist runs I'd bring a mover buddy with me.

He's moving now, so my skinny ass is pretty much stuck with bluffing. :)

TrittyOP•

also the problem is the ad doesnt exist anymore, so its pretty suspicious if I ask about an ad that existed for 15 minutes 3 hours later.

That SHOULD result in total zilch for search results. You are surrounded by idiots. :/

yea, people cram a bunch of tags together because theyre idiots. I just want my car back or whats left of it, I live in the north suburbs in a somewhat gated community with my mom and honestly I was looking to move out soon till I woke up and found my 12,000 car missing from the driveway...these guys were crafty too, all my neighbors light bulbs were unscrewed.
