Something similar actually happened to me back in 1972.

An african american male called me over to his car in a busy mall parking lot...opened his trunk and showed me a brand new portable color television...all wrapped straight from the factory.

We haggled on the price and I "stole" it for $85.

Got home all excited, and unwrapped it.

It was a old B&W with all dials missing and taken right off the junk pile.

I was really angry...for about 30 seconds and then laughed.

$85 was a cheap price never having to fall for anything like that again.
