The next time I go to National City to buy a used car off of Craigslist I am going to do a few things differently.
1. I am bringing a gun.
2. I will have the money in an envelope sealed, not just in my pocket.
3. I will only meet in the daytime in a public place.
4. I will bring another person as back up.
I did #3 once and #4 twice, but if I ever have to do a deal in National $hitty again I am going to make sure I follow all four rules.
Why you ask?
In my transaction yesterday the woman kept looking over her shoulder and was very distracted. She then goes on to ask if we are ever going to drive the car in NC or Chula Vista areas. I say no. Then she proceeds to tell us about how she got the car in a divorce and her crazy ex husband doesn't want her to sell it and that he would probably confront someone who he saw driving the car.
Rowdy. Style.
It was her boyfriend who was mad that she was selling the car, which was even creepier to me. It wasn't even his car!
