Default Collection Recollection

1996....Guy steals my RSAmerica posing as a dealer, sells it to The Collection.
Somehow I find the car at the collection and request they hold the car till I can get the cops there. Police dectective calls next day and they say they sold it back to the guy they had bought it from, and dont know where he is. RSA never surfaces again. Guy caught scamming in Calif. 2 yrs later and does time.
Fla will not extradite guy. Insurance co.loses. Collection Folks way shady.

I call it a fake too. The first looks like a photochop. the 2nd you don't see what looks like a tow hook or something from the 1st.

The guy has one post, and hasn't responded to any of the follow ups. Me thinks it's a fake.

Read the thread in Pelican, msgobe probably just posted here to get the word out about this shop. A reputable member of Pelican vouched for the OP. The story is true AFAIK, but pics of that nature without a detailed explanation is almost silly.
