We had this happen to us in 2018. The young man came in for an estimate and then left the vehicle. When it was completed we contacted them to collect, but never got a reply. Then 3 of them turned up on the Saturday afternoon, when my boss was on his own, we believe this was planned. The vehicle was boxed in but this is where they were very cunning. One was very aggressive, complaining about the work, one was passive and one just held out his hand. The complaining was constant and going round in circles but my boss just insisted they leave the vehicle and we would sort it, although the complaint was rubbish, and without thinking about it my boss gave the keys to the one holding out his hand. Then the next thing he knows the vehicle is being moved with great care and then they drove off. Over £3000 worth of work and parts gone and no chance of recovery.
