Moral of the story sometimes it pays to be an idiot. Is he sure that he was not receiving stolen property?

That was my thought after the valuation. But it was boxed with a stamped guarantee and checked out with Rolex.
Not the sort of luck that I have.

Please share the story about the speakers from the back of a van as I was approached like that once and ran quickly. Being a HiFi nut at the time it was a close run thing. I would love to know what would have traditionally happened next !
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Got 'done' by the same scam in Rome many years ago, felt sorry for the guy, offered him £20 in Lira (shows age of scam) or £20 note to help him get home, when he tried to snatch the £20 as well as the Lira I lost it a bit and told him to Foxtrot Oscar but he took the Lira! I should have known better howver as on arriving in our Rome Hotel, after a 50 minute taxi ride (and commensurately large Lira bill) from train station to hotel, we checked in, changed etc and went for an early evening walk before dinner. Went 80metres down the road, turned left .......... and there was the same railway station  Totally true story, theiving B must have had a great laugh at the expense of "stoooopid Eeeengleeesh toooooreeest" 
Cheers

frank, you most likeley are a stylish guy, That was my problem, see, having been a Menswear Formalwear Designer in my youth, I was totalling the value in £000's and thinking? Mmmmmmmmmm? This lot is going on Ebay. (before the Sting that was!).  (I had the Jeans and the T Shirt, Dave when I worked for Levi Strauus)
