No doubt it was a fair bundle of funny money in this roast chook deal....
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/thief-...-1225975370099 A MAN who sold his car for cash in the car park of a fast-food shop was paid with counterfeit money. w The victim had advertised his Holden HSV VE Commorde sedan for sale and met the buyer at the Red Rooster Restaurant, Main North Rd, Munno Para about 8.30 pm yesterday, police said. "He was handed a large quantity of money in exchange for the vehicle," a spokesman said. "I wasn't until afterwards that the victim became suspicious of the money and went to the Elizabeth Police Station, where it was determined the money was counterfeit. "Police are seeking assistance from anyone who may be able to provide information in relation to this incident or can assist in locating the stolen car or may be offered the Commodore." The car has registration number CC608J and anyone who has information is asked to contact BankSA Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. |

Smart thinking.
To be honest all this thread is making me think of is Red Rooster. Time to get a rooster roll combo!

No point trying to find it. It will be in a million parts, all on their way to a different part of the country by now.

I got a counterfeit $50 note from a NAB ATM.
There is apparently a heap of funny $50's in curculation. You can tell they are dodgy by scratching the stars off the window with your fingernail.

Seems like a fair deal to me, fake fifties for a Holden, would not be worth more than that.....

If anyone wanted to pay me what the car was probably worth (surely at least 20g even if it is a Holden, it does state HSV) in cash, I would be suss.
Bank cheque please. If anyone wanted to personally deal with me with that much cash I would be suss, and if they really insisted, would have the transaction done at a bank.

Yeah cos bank cheques have never been forged I'll take your sister while I wait for the funds to clear, that line doesn't always work, but I've tried it before.... You gotta worry when they say yep no probs, cos in that case you wouldn't want her... Small deals cash, bigger bank cheque and wait till funds are cleared, bank cheques are not as good as cash and don't instantly clear like some fools assume... |

Thankyou for this thread. It has achieved 2 things.
1. Confirmed there are waaay to many idiots out there. I mean who goes to a car park to accept cash for a VE HSV 2. I am now going to go to Red Rooster and get some cold chicken rolls so I can heat them up at midnight when I am still watching movies and get peckish. |

Real bacon burger meal sounds pretty good right now
As for counter-fit money, if it looked good enough at the time to buy the car I would be pwning it off to buy other things, not that I support fake bills but you would feel pretty damn stupid having sold your VE HSV for fake cash

Dont see a problem buying/selling a car in a public place. Doing at your home is asking for trouble....

Poor bastard. Despite it being a HSV that's a pretty horrible thing to happen.
