And, I will spare you all from my standard “Caldecott Tunnel” remark 🙂

Who goes to a buy a car from a stranger at 10pm? Caveat Emptor smh

There never was going to be a sale, just a robbery. CAUTION: Do your EBay/Car deals right in front of the local police department only, some have reserved parking just for this. Use good judgement and get some training. Yippie ki yay, it’s the Wild West out there.

Kinda thinking someone was going to get robbed there.
Wow. I see we need not be worried by police staffing levels.
