Title: Alright, who took my cab??
Post by: SavannahLion on June 06, 2007, 07:22:25 pm

I'm not sure what to think of this guy.

From the listing (http://sacramento.craigslist.org/wan/345821341.html).

I am hoping there are still honest people out there,My friend came down from Chowchilla yesterday to bring me a Super Punch Out arcade game, I had to work late and he ended up buying some pinballs off a guy in citrus heights,He did not have enough room in the back of his truck to bring my super punch out back with him and he left it in front of the guys house, the corner of rollingwood and rosewood in citrus heights at 8pm when I got off work I went to go pick it up someone had taken it, I am willing to pay a reward for it back or even give yoo one of my other games such as outrun, afterburner or even space harrier, I am not mad I just want my game back, it was not abandoned at all or free. My email is :censored: or my cell is :censored: thanks Joe

It'll be interesting to see what the end of this story is. I live just a few blocks away from him. The street corner he's describing is actually not that far from a school (middle school I think) and a skateboard park. I bet you when some kids were going home, they spotted that cab, leveraged it onto their skateboards and wheeled it home. WTF was his buddy thinking??

I gotta say, if i saw a cab sitting out at the curb i would be thinking of how to get it into/onto my car.  the curb is where you leave stuff you dont want.

His buddy wasn't a friend. I'd go up and knock on the door, first.

...I think his "friend" owes him some money...probably about the same amount of money he sold/traded that punchout to the pinball guy for. :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
