The Car Sale Gone Wrong

[00:29 - 03:16]
Stavros kicks off the episode recounting his ill-fated attempt to sell his car on Facebook Marketplace. Unlike the more impersonal Craigslist, Facebook provided a seemingly safer platform where he connected with the buyer.

• Stavros: "I tried to make a documentary about him getting his car stolen, okay. And it was just fucking terrible."
  [00:29]

Despite the initial trust, things quickly spiraled out of control. The buyer, a man with one leg, agreed to meet late at night, which Stavros admits was not the best idea.

• Stavros: "It's like, 1am he pulls up at like, 2:30 to your apartment in the Bronx."
  [02:56]

Geo expresses skepticism about selling a car at such an odd hour, highlighting the red flags in the situation.

---

The Theft Unfolds

[03:02 - 05:00]
Upon meeting, Stavros finds himself and the one-legged buyer in an awkward setting. The transaction begins smoothly but takes a dark turn when the buyer and his pregnant girlfriend seize the car.

• Stavros: "He took it from me. It wasn't like, on Craigslist."
  [01:00]

Stavros attempts to maintain composure, joking about the bizarre nature of the thief’s physical condition and how it played into the heist.

---

Chasing the Thieves

[05:00 - 07:09]
Realizing his car has been stolen, Stavros races to a nearby police station, located just two blocks from his residence. The proximity allows him to act swiftly, leading to a surprising turn of events where the stolen car is reclaimed.

• Stavros: "I went inside, got him, we walked two blocks up."
  [06:17]

The situation becomes even more complicated when the police discover that the thief was already on probation for a similar offense. Stavros humorously details how the thief's past catches up with him, resulting in minimal consequences.

---

Legal Aftermath

[07:09 - 10:15]
Stavros explains the legal repercussions of the incident. Despite the theft, the court case reveals the thief's previous record, leading to only community service rather than harsher penalties.

• Stavros: "He didn’t even go to jail, yo. Swear to God."
  [10:14]

Adding to the frustration, Stavros mentions receiving unpaid tickets incurred during the theft period, choosing not to pay them out of principle.

---

Reflection and Closure

[10:15 - 11:01]
As the episode winds down, Stavros reflects on the absurdity of the entire ordeal. He shares details about how he could have taken further action against the thief but ultimately decided against it, acknowledging the humor in the situation.

• Stavros: "I was very mad cuz I just got played."
  [10:43]

Geo and Asad contribute to the conversation with light-hearted banter, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of such experiences and reinforcing the camaraderie among friends.

• Stavros: "He got two tickets in my name still."

[Unnamed Speaker 2]

He was like, you can go. I was like, you sure? He's like, bro, are you sure? Like, I don't know about this. He was like, yeah, bro, it's calm. I was like, hell, yeah.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

But I'm like, this dude has one leg, and he came with his girlfriend, too.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

Oh, wow.

[Unnamed Speaker 2]

So I'm like, there's no way.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

Something bad about that.

[Unnamed Speaker 2]

Five minutes later, he comes back in. He's like, yo, they took the car.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

Wait, what the. I walk back in, and that's the first thing I said.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

So what the happened? They're like, oh, okay. Actually, we're actually just gonna take this. And you're like, like, what happens?

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

Okay, long story short, he got in the driver's seat, his girlfriend got in the passenger seat, and I got in the backseat already. Dumb idea. But my guard is off. This dude is paralyzed.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

How was the, like, transaction supposed to. What were you trying to sell it for?

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

I was selling it for a band and a pound of weed.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

Okay, so you couldn't get the cops involved. So it was illegal as hell.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

No, no, no, it wasn't that illegal. I had a title. Yeah, but you can't.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

You can't be like, officer. I was. Somebody took my microwave. I was gonna trade him for one sex traff. That's so funny. Hey, did he have any of that?

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

Did he? Did he? No. I was holding the weed in my hand. I saw him count the cash too. Wow.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

So it was a last minute finesse. They were like, this guy's a idiot. They were like, we're just gonna keep this. It was like a spur of the moment, like, fuck it, let's just keep it.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

What happened was he was like, oh, can we switch places so you can show me the blinkers?

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

You know, those complicated to work blinkers.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

No, I know, I know in hindsight. I know in hindsight, terrible idea. But. But you also got to think about it. Me going in, I'm like, this is some paralyzed dude with his pregnant girlfriend.

[Unnamed Speaker 2]

He was fat. His girlfriend was pregnant, Right? He's a fat dude, one leg, and his girlfriend is pregnant.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

I hope that baby comes out with something. Well, maybe not the baby baby. May your bloodline be cursed forever. No, but yeah, so obviously I step out, he didn't. And, but okay, but like, you know, the thing is, he opened his door and I also open. I step out, he slams it. I jump on the back of the car.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

Wow.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

It's a Nissan Ultima. I. He hit the gas on me. I flipped off that.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

That's wild, dude.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

And I had my Yeezys on, so I was actually. I got more tight about my sho in the moment for some reason, but. But then I'm like, I'm just watching drive off. I'm like, damn, they got me. So that's nuts, dude. But I told you, I live like two blocks from a police station. So I went inside, got him, we walked two blocks up.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

They were bored.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

Yeah, I still found a report.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

Okay.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

Cuz it's like I don't got to tell them about the course.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

You know, you're right.

They have your car and he can make it up. Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

So what do we file? I go there, I give them his number, they come back and show me like, yo, this him. They show me a bit like he was. Apparently he was on probation for stealing somebody else's car four months before, so. And I only found this out because they caught him two days later.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

That's crazy.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

They caught him and then like they brought my car Back. But then he got two tickets on my car in that time. I got two tickets in my name still.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

That's hilarious, dude. So you're still out like 100, 300. 300 bucks.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

I never paid them, so you know. Yeah, I'm not paying. I got rid of that car, right. And I, I drive a different car now. It's in my dad's name.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

I'm never paying.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

But yeah, we went to court. Well, I had to go to parole court because he was on parole for, you know, stealing somebody else's car. And then I get a call one day from like the D A calls you and ask you what happens. The parole officer calls you and ask what happens. And I get a call. And when you get a call from the D A, it's a, like a block number. So I get a call. Martin Luther King day. The next day we're supposed, you know, go to court. Mar. That's like a federal holiday. So I get a call. It's like, oh, actually your court date has been moved to a different time and place. It's his shorty on the phone.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

Wow.

[Unnamed Speaker 2]

I tried to make the documentary.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

This is crazy. I will say points for creativity. That is awesome because they did, they did almost get me, but I, I was.

[Unnamed Speaker 3]

The federal holiday is interesting. That's how they're too dumb to realize that.

[Unnamed Speaker 1]

And also I asked her, can you send me an email? I was asking certain questions and I was like, oh no, this is, this is something. Yeah. Cuz I was like, can you send me an email with this information? She's like, oh, we actually can't send emails from the office. I'm like, send an email. So that's, that's what I knew.
