Yea I'm not sure there's a good way to state that. Just trying to find some humor in it I guess.
I'm lucky that there were witnesses nearby. Who knows what would have happened. So just for information I was meeting a guy to sell a PS4 pro. Guy claimed he had to meet nearby because of his kid. I met him near a local bar with people nearby. Handed me an enevelope and started walking away really quickly. I said hey I need to count this and the guy started running. The people in the lot looked and did nothing as he started running past them (I get it). I chased him around a building through a yard then realized how stupid I was being. Turned around, called the police and the people got in their cars and left.
Yea thankfully I didn't have to deal with anything like that. Like I said I realize how lucky I am.
He took your PS4 Pro? That son of a bitch. You got his contact info, right?
Yeah, OP could've hugged the guy.
No, it's Facebook marketplace and they have literally nothing in terms of capability.
hey props man, i respect this coping technique to the max. shit fucking blows, but at least you've got everything in tact. you're out whatever they took from you, but you're not in the hospital. and hey, you even did the cool if dumb thing of running after them, so you can shore up some pride still. seriously tho, you made it away with life and limb, once the adrenaline wears off take a shower, try to sleep, and call someone you care about tomorrow
I gotta know, what are you gonna spend the dollar on? :P
If I received money does that mean I was technically compensated? Lol
Man, I forgot about the comic. Yeah, that was such a great thread.
I wanna cry. Thank you for the reminder.
The oldest trick in the book is while surrounded by witnesses grabbing and running off with the product? He didn't even give me a chance dude. People always want to open and look at the product before paying. So that's what my intention was. And he ran immediately
They took the information, asked about the guy, I gave a description 5'9 Hispanic, glasses (fake probably). Blue shell jacket trying to hide a tattoo on his left arm (I could see it on his hand). Etc. Asked if I had the serial number if he tries to pawn it (waiting to see). Asked where he went when I chased him, I told them as best I could from where he was running. Etc.
Yea. I always meet publicly where it's not easy. I don't think I've ever met someone not in a car. So that should have been a huge flag.
That sucks. No cameras in the public/bar place?
Na, I live in Spokane, WA almost no businesses have cameras. Especially not bars.
