Scam must be for someone taking latop and running off with car..
But why not use police, rather than ebay?!?!?!?

Think it is just the fact that he wanted a test drive and says" Is it OK just to leave my laptop here?" Seller thinks "oh well he must be coming back then" Bloke drives into sunset and is miles away before seller gets annoyed and looks in laptop bag to find it empty.
If you are stupid enough to let someone drive off in your car with only a laptop as security then you are frankly an idiot and deserve it anyway!

Amen. Not so much in terms of the Garage, but in a private sale if you're that thick, god help you.

Its his own car, he had work done on it at the garage, then
drove off without paying, as far as I can tell he didnt steal
the car it was his.

As for the tights……… jesus, what a muppet.
