Friend works in a restaurant downtown and 3-4 guys were sitting in the waiting area and a customer came in, asked if they were valet and one got up and tried to grab the keys, but my friend stopped it from a potential incident.

Saw a pic of a car across the street from my apartment (car was in a parking lot) with all 4 wheels taken.  I think it was a Yaris or something like that. C'mon!

It is AGAINST CODE in Milwaukee to pursue or call ahead for anything (maybe other than murder). So drug dealers get a rental car for a month, tint the windows, then turn them in for another to stay below the radar. As mentioned below if you get pulled over in Milwaukee, wait for the cop to get out of the car and book it, they cannot and will not chase you.

FUCK THAT

Well the police found the car a week later in North Milwaukee. One witness said he saw it crash into a parked car and 4 black guys ran off. I was talking to the detective about this case, and he said these guys steal these cars, and tint the windows right away. So that way when the cops pull up they cant see anything inside, and when they flip on the red and blues they just take off. He told me they rarely chase these vehicles anymore because its not worth the risk when it usually comes to a bad ending for either side. So basically there is little to no hope in catching these guys or anyone like them so keep that in mind when doing craigslist deals!

Kindof like our welcome to the neighborhood. A week after we moved in someone broke into the garage and stole my road bike and a bunch of tools. I miss out old neighborhood where there was no need to lock anything and the worst that might happen is a drunk college student wanders in to sleep on the couch. Sent from my potato phone

Ever find the bike since then?

So why is there no insurance on the vehicle and a claim being made?

The car isn't worth it to have full coverage.

I always make a point to tell a few people where and when I am meeting someone just in case something happened.  I usually try and meet somewhere like a gas station or near a police department or community building where police would be.

I hope they catch these scum bags!  Although, history tells me they'd get a slap on the wrist and get right at it shortly after.

you have to go into a craigslist deal assuming the worst these days. meet at a very public place, do not bring your girlfriend/wife/kids (why do people do that?), and have your wits about you.

Definitely transferring my CCW from Ohio to Wisconsin after hearing this.

The bmw was a silver 1999 automatic black interior, 165k miles, driver side rear end bondo/spray paint that is pretty noticeable. (was in minor rear end accident).

seems related.  happened 6 days ago

5A 2007 Toyota Scion was stolen in the 9200 block of South 54th Street at about 5 p.m. June 21. The owner of the vehicle told police the suspect stated he wanted to buy the car from an ad the victim placed on Craigslist. The suspect, described as a 5-foot-8-inch-tall black male in his late teens or early 20s with scars on his left shoulder and bicep and a Milwaukee Brewer glove tattoo on his left arm, was accompanied by an unknown number of people inside a light green or blue Mazda 3 with dark tinted windows.

Where in New Berlin?

I will keep the pics and plate number handy although you are probably right. Thats really rotten man.

Really makes you feel warm and fuzzy about people
