    Victim of thievery at Toyota Hua Hin Soi 6
    I'd like to warn you of the risks you are taking when you leave your car for sale/ for reparations in Toyota HH Soi 6.
    Here is what happened to me, and to at least 11 other persons (as of today).
    Wishing to sell my car, i met one of the seller of the office Khun Chaiyaporn. (The only one speaking english in the office and to who I bought it about 3 years ago), who offered me to buy it for a reasonable price, which i accepted.
    So I left him my car, in trust, in the Toyota office, in order to achieve some small fixings, and negotiated the free rent of a car for a month (this, of course, being written down and signed by both of us)
    To my surprise, when i came back in the office to return the car back and get the money from the sale of my car... I had got the unfortunate surprise to discover that :
    ⁃ My car had been stolen by this person from the Toyota staff.
    ⁃ After complaining at the police Station, the rental car.. was a stolen car
    Conclusion, by leaving my car at Toyota HH Soi 6, i have lost my car, my money.. and i almost got accused of stealing a car
    Today, after a month of police complains, and negotiations with Toyota, being impossible to meet the big boss. Toyota HH Soi 6 isn't taking any responsibilities of their Clients, while the thievery happened to be done :
    ⁃ by staff from the Toyota office
    And
    ⁃ In the Toyota Office in the presence of witnesses.
    This is why, I'd like to warn you about the risk you are taking when you entrust you car to a Toyota HH Soi 6 Staff Member.
    To this day, there is already at least 12 person who complained to the police Station for thievery (thievery of car, thievery of deposit due to car order, thievery of deposit due to repair...), and all this represents more than 10 Millions Bahts. And this person, after spending few weeks in jails, just got freed on bail.
    I keep on availability to your want my police complain about this story.
    Thank you to share this,in order that many people are aware of this, and can go to check that they aren't concerned about this.
    Thanks everyone for reading

    I don't understand, when you sell a car to a dealer, you should demand the payment immediately.
    Never heard of leaving a car for sale on the dealers forecourt for a month , without a dealer having paid for the vehicle.
    Free loan car !!!!!!
    Didn't you trade the old car in for a new model, that's the norm.
