Utah man said he was carjacked after listing his car on Facebook Marketplace

A Rose Park man said he was carjacked at gunpoint after listing it for sale on Facebook and meeting up with who he thought was a potential buyer.

[@shannonmcdougall478]

When we sold our car. We met right next to our police station.

[@billt6116]

It could go either way. Near me, Someone went to buy a car on Craigslist, And got robbed for the money instead. There was no car for sale, It was a set up.

[@sherryblanton2029]

That’s a good idea! At least you’re close to help!

[@shannonmcdougall478]

@sherryblanton2029 Actually had 1 buyer decline to see the car; because we were meeting by the Police Station.

[@sherryblanton2029]

@sherryblanton2029 Yep that what the Police Chief said. She's really great about people meeting there.

Carjacked for an $1800 car???? 😮 Things are getting really bad!

[@california3186]

That is so bad!!! Works hard, second income robbed!! People have no humanity!!

[@mawi1172]

We don't know his whole story. He probably stole his way here. After 20 million just like him have crashed our borders now, I'm losing interest in his problems.

Almost as bad as the irs

Start putting tracking devices in your car or air tags

[@mawi1172]

Stop being stupid and meeting in privacy for them to do whatever tf they want to him!?!?!? 😢😢😢

[@oldauntzibby4395]

Sounds like a good solution except for people who don't have the money or don't have the know-how. Like me. 😂

[@OmegahArt1]

@@mawi1172 you can’t sell anyone anything these days without having someone try to rob you.

[@slavikk6712]

So you will sell your car with a AirTag?

[@OmegahArt1]

@@slavikk6712 if it were me I’d only let them test drive it with an air tag. Then if they want to buy it, I would meet them at the bank to make sure they had the money or could finance it. Before I hand them the keys I’d take it out. I bought a car off Craigslist that way. I met the guy at the bank after test driving it.

[@alfilkemper9240]

Meet by a police station.

[@kimberlyhunt2052]

It doesn't surprise me the cops know who this is. They arrest the and then charges are dropped and they might get probation. In the aftermath they just continue to commit crimes and put the public in danger! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AnneLund80]

My husband had this happen when he put our fish tank for sale online. At least all they stole was the fish tank. It was scary and left him feeling nauseous as well. We won’t advertise online anymore.

[@archierooroo]

I’m so sorry that happened to your husband ❤ I hope y’all are doing well now!

[@AnneLund80]

@@archierooroothank you. We’re just glad they didn’t do anything else to him, or steal our car. It happened last year. We don’t advertise anything online anymore. It’s not worth the risk.

This is why we must all take the necessary steps to defend ourselves! Conceal carry at all times!

[@eddyblackmore4188]

You're not wrong, but make sure you check your local CC laws - the cost of a CC licence fee is typically not worth the felony in some states.

[@oldauntzibby4395]

In most places you cannot use deadly force to protect property. You will be the one prosecuted.

[@eddyblackmore4188]

@@oldauntzibby4395 true, but if someone's using a gun to carjack you, they're already using 'deadly force' and you can legally respond in kind. Even if it turns out afterwards the gun was unloaded/fake/etc, if you are in genuine reasonable fear for your life you can defend it lethally.

[@whit9987]

@oldauntzibby4395 which is lame. I'm voting for anyone willing to change those laws lol, we should be allowed to protect ourselves AND our belongings. Thieves should not have the upper hand in this world.

KSL should be talking about the scams and sketchy stuff going on on their own classifieds site!

[@jasonandersen5975]

Why? They offer a free classified section and host hundreds of thousands of ads, and you expect them to police them as well? Buyer beware. If the buyer can’t do his due diligence and take proper precautions then he should purchase new products from known a retailer who offers a guarantee.

[@cynthiaparris7549]

Please everyone be extra careful. We are living in a very dangerous n evil society.

Remember a few years ago, crime was so much less🤔

[@whit9987]

More people, more crime. I miss when people didn't want to live in Utah.

[@BillyBob-wq9fl]

So what did these carjackers look like? Asking for a friend.

[@pattil7947]

The least expensive tracker is an Apple tag! $28.00 on Amazon + magnetic enclosure! We have them on everything of of value! Especially our dog who takes medication for seizures! 👍👍👍

When ever you do take potcures of the VIN# and all aspects of the ID's #'s of the vehicle for your proof , and hand out copies to law enforment always back yourself up and also record who is coming to buy vehicle for your protection and identity of suspects .

[@jerrilynhenson9024]

I was told I could list my old car on Craigslist list. Nope. I remember a couple were murdered after trying to sell their car. Or maybe when they went to buy one. Doesn’t matter. As much as I need to sell it, not worth my life when I’m almost 80. Not the way I hope to go out.

Pattern recognition?

[@dawsie]

Dam you Americans are so darn gun hungry, it’s not the answer to every situation. My question I would be asking is how did they know where the car was parked to find it so quickly and if you had planed on meting up with someone why go alone.

[@billt6116]

Many states have limits of how many cars you can sell a year, before you have to buy a dealership license. Check local regulations.
