Garage Owner Stealing Classic Cars...

Hope no Pelicans have their car stored here!

Garage Owner Accused Of Stealing Classic Cars



They say Simeone kept the money from each of these sales, obtained shells of similar antique model cars, and covered them with tarps to fool the victim into thinking they were the original vehicles.

That falls into the catagory of "WTH were you thinking!?" Did he think he would never get caught? Maybe he owed money to someone he feared more than the fear of getting caught?

Obviously, someone who stores his classic car in somebody else's garage neither needs the car nor the money...

My guess:

As these are "geezer" cars, the owner was probably an older gent. The shop owner only had to run the shell game until gramps became senile or kicked the bucket. I guess the geezer made it longer than the dummy thought he would.
