I imagine there are probably people at the car dealership who knew better but just weren't present at the time.

Makes sense.

What I love about this story is he clearly had no chance but left the dealership driving a Porsche. He must be intelligent to accomplish that.

Disagree.

He's stupid.

A short joy ride that ends up costing him untold consequences. Maybe jail? Maybe ankle bracelet? Community service? How about the mark that goes permanently on his record. How would you like to have to explain this when the subject comes up. Wonder what other things he just might lose out on for this stupidity?????

lol. sure. cant argue with that. If we consider the big picture yes but what a waste of talent. Instead of a stunt like that why not use those skills in some real work.

Because it's called WORK.


As a supervisor (myself) you might be surprised how hard some people or what lengths people will go to in order to get out of WORK.

Yup. Not everyone got what it takes.

I have to imagine the amount he wrote that one check for alone puts his offense in a much worse category. Had it been for a few hundred that's one thing, but for the amount he wrote it for I have to believe that carry's a more severe penalty.

He's screwed. If he has priors even worse.

Thinking now the fact that he actually was able to drive away might have resulted in even worse consequences than if he had not been able too?

I think so. Not attempt anymore. I know nothing about his state laws though, so this is just an educated guess.

Me neither.

But either way you look at it certainly isn't worth the consequences whatever they maybe that he certainly is going to face.

Maybe a sign of the times in the luxury car world... dealers so desperate to sell cars that they don’t want, or think, to verify funds. Just want to make the sale...

No, that was just clueless. Lack of any kind of experience, knowledge, or even common sense whatsoever showed on this one. Even a dealer desperate to sell wouldn't just give it away for nothing.

Have to think if anything happened to the car the dealership and not their insurance would have payed dearly had something happened to the car. I can't imagine them being able to actually recoup anything from the dumbass writing that phony check either.

They were lucky he bought a used car. If brand new it would be used now lol

[RW16610]

What a moron! He's certainly going to get what's coming his way now.
