Prospective car buyer takes Toyota out for test drive — and never comes back.
The keys were not in the car, so the dealership had to get a new set made, costing about $200, which turned out to be a minor inconvenience compared to the prospect of losing a $13,000 car.
"I got the car back already," dealership owner Gustavo Valdovinos said Wednesday."I mean, I don't have to take a loss, and the car is in good shape."The man had said he would want the car inspected by his own mechanics before he bought it, so Frontline called four nearby Toyota dealerships just in case the customer took it in without telling them.
The man, who was not immediately identified, had not been arrested by Wednesday afternoon, a police spokeswoman said. As a result of the 24-hour-plus theft, Valdovinos said, all test drives from now on will have an employee riding shotgun. "I'd like to get this guy off the streets now before he hurts himself or someone," Valdovinos said."It can only escalate from here. He's not going to come back here and say, 'I'm sorry.'"
