Terrible and very disturbing!

How many of you go armed with the cash when looking at a car though? :-/ :-/

I know I don't, even when going to a car sales forecourt!
If interested, I then go to the bank to pick up the money required 8-) 8-)

Me too. I went with £6000 in my sky to buy the ZT. I would be very wary of going to Barking with it though. I lived in Ilford/Barking for a while and it's a bit, erm, wild.

Well you really would be barking mad to do so!!

A lot of places are wild, but this isn't a particularly new crime as such...it's just always been done backwards before (they normally come to view the car, then take it).

£6K is quite a tidy sum, but apparently that's nowhere near getting the adrenaline flowing compared to having to go to Park Royal to do a transaction involving £250K.

Mind you, for £250K it's pretty much a written guarantee that most people would make sure they are fully prepared for any eventuality.

I just do a bank transfer saves messing around no need to carry cash at all

I'm not too far from barking and a bit wild is an understatement. I'd be nervous with a fiver in me pocket (not that I'd go there) and if I did I'd employ the ghetto walk (duck and weave at random) to avoid being hit by a stray bullet, or at least make people think I was mad enough o not be worth bothering.
