    Thanks so much to all of you for your input, I’m so pleased we got the car back 🙏🏼
    A lot of people are asking if I’m giving it away on POD but I’m not unfortunately. I am giving an M4 away so if you’ve not yet got your free entry get it here:

      Not saying it isn’t a set up but they weren’t given permission to take the car out or given trade plates. They unplugged the battery charger and off they went. What makes me think it was a set up is that they were left unattended with the keys to an expensive car and the rather relaxed approach to it all, I don’t care who you are you’d be a lot more aggravated about the situation than he was.

      There’s a reason for this…
      I had a friend who was a bit of a naughty boy back in the day. One evening he stole a car, the police chased him and it turned bad and he sadly lost his life. He was one of my best friends when I was a kid, he might’ve made some bad decisions as he got older but his core was good. These lads could be good lads just making stupid decisions. When my car got stolen I thought about my friend. I’m glad the boys didn’t hurt themselves.

If they did it to Calvin they have done it to other people and I GUARANTEE they will do it to someone else. It will help the next person if there is a record of these two people having stolen the car from Calvin. They clearly came intending to steal it. It was not a sudden decision. It was planned.
      I understand Calvin doesnt want to risk reprisals from the gang against his business but he isnt helping their future victims.

    How do you give a total stranger keys to a car without any of your staff going out with them on the drive. That’s crazy & why would the insurance pay out when a member of staff handed over the key? .

      Exactly. Any test drive I’ve ever been on, they want you to leave your license or take a copy of it. They want you to sign an insurance document.
      They usually wait round with the keys or unlock it and leave you to look around.

    I've had test drives where I've been given the keys to take the car out for a spin, I was even informed of a busy and potentially dangerous road to avoid by the dealer. 20 minutes later, I came back and purchased the car. So it does happen, it's an old school and trusting way of selling a car, but these days yes there are a lot of thieves. Glad you got it back mate!
