Exclamation UK: Car Stolen BEWARE!!!

This weekend my brother in-law was selling a car (Nissan 200sx) on behalf of his company to a guy in Slough who went by the name of Mr Kahn. He gave my bro in-law an address in Slough (now known to be fake) and a mobile number (prolly PAYG and binned!).

Mr Kahn and 2 other guys looked around the car in his works car park (company in Bedfordshire Area) and whilst one of them distracted him another stole the spare keys without him knowing. They then said they didn't want to exchange cash in a car park so he gave them an address where the car was being kept that evening, which was my parents house.

Later that evening they stole the car and in the early hours of the morning we heard them come back in the stolen car and their mates in another. Myself, brother and dad went outside and they sped away when they saw us, bumping into their mates car as they went.

Not sure if they were comming back to get one of the families cars or return the stolen car (doubt it).

This is not the first occurence of this type of thing, found this on another forum:
