OK, so the guy stole the car, which is wrong, but at the prices they ask they are trying for a little thievery themselves.......
So, what nationality are you Paul?

Now that I think about it, Hitman does need a 240 engine. I must say though, he doesn't appear Polish........

Just proves some people will steal anything if the opportunity is there. This is probably a case of a theif doing a theif.

It almost sounds like they suspect the last owner perhaps. Maybe they sold him junk for it on a trade.

Not that any person could get mad at a used car dealer. A lot of used car dealers are not scum of the earth even. They may rise to that level eventually with evolution Probably never make it though.

Ya know, I hadn't thought of that, but that seems quite likely.
