Sorry to hear about your ordeal Jim, glad to see you both made it out of there alive ... like Jay said above, unfortunately that's the society we live in.

Jim - wow... that is a real eye opener story and a great reminder for how to safely conduct business on Craigslist. Thank you for posting so that everyone thinks twice before doing the same thing in the future.

we got up and looked at them and said “We’re Yanks! They all started nodding and looking at each other like it all made sense now. Dean - this is just too funny.

I grabbed a few singles and a fifty, crumpled it up in my hand and as started back towards them, my friend started slowly to the truck, I handed him the cash and started to walk backwards to the truck, he looked down at the money and we broke for the truck. By the time he said "that aint all of it" we were squealing tires out of there....
Man, that takes being cheap...........to a whole new level. If this is true, you should REALLY REFLECT!

Wow! That's right around the corner from where I am staying in California (Tarzana). I'm glad you were able to keep your wits about you and get out of there together safely and with only a small loss of cash. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm especially glad your car started!

Marina Del Rey is just down the road from me...and a very nice part of town. Goes to show sh*t can happen anywhere. Wow. I promise if you stop by to demo my Axiom's there'll be no guns involved!

ihifi- I made alot of mistakes in this deal, I am really lucky me or my friend didn't get hurt or get the truck shot up. Maybe he believed I didn't go to the bank yet and just decided to let us go. I'm glad he didn't just started shooting.
I will not allow myself to get in a similar situation again, really dumb on my part. Now that the rush is over it's kind of surreal. I see victoms of violent crimes at work but this gives me a new appreciation of what some go through.
Spiffnme- I appreciate your last statement, makes me feel much better!!!

Jim - if this helps at all, the 1080UB is worth full price. I've had mine for almost a year now and remain very happy with the picture. Jason

WOW! That's no "Monster Cable stole from me" story!  Very glad to hear you are safe.
