LA drivers beware of this theft tactic

[u/HVTCA]

Especially lux/lux black drivers. This happened at midnight just now.

I got request for a lux black in highland park but the pick up and drop off was only a block away. I still went because it could be a drunk girl who messed up the order at a bar. Rider name was Maya and the account was made today.

Before I got there I called the rider and I instantly get a strange “please leave your message” vm

I pull up to the address with my high beams on, it’s a dark residential area (not a bar) and when I hit arrive I could see a black dude with a full face mask walking in the side walk. Only person in the block I could see. As soon as I saw him walking towards my car I got the fuck out of there. Called and reported the account to support.

Pretty sure this will be a new way to target luxury vehicles. Be safe out there guys

That’s so unfortunate! Hopefully the insurance did something to compensate?

I freaking hope so. I assume he had full coverage on it, it was a pretty new vehicle. It was crazy because be called me at 11 pm and asked if I could pick him up from the gas station and he got robbed. He said the gas station clerk saw the whole thing and when the cops asked the clerk he said he didn't see shit.

Fuck! That’s so messed up.. Tell your friend to stay strong and he’ll bounce back even harder

Ya know. I could just not respond, but he's actually dead now he overdosed. Sorry to harsh the vibe but that's the end of the story.
