anyways...
3 years ago I posted my old beat up Cavalier on craigslist for 500$. Zedd shows up to look at it, we go for a ride, he bangs the gears hard but he has cash in hand, so i'm like whatever. He tells me he recently got out of jail for grand theft auto, but he has a drivers license and cash so whatever. He likes the car and wants to buy it, so I take him down to the autoplan broker to do the transfer. The broker tells Zedd he has to pay 2000$ to ICBC in fines before he can do anything. Zedd acts surprised and tells me his Mom will pay it tomorrow, but he needs the car to get home tonight, so I'm like whatever, its getting late, and he seems like a good kid. I take the cash and give him the transfer form filled out so he can do it tomorrow.
Next day Im at work and get a call from the Surrey RCMP, asking me what my affiliation with Zedd Zimmerman is... i explain what happened the night before. The officer tells me that my car's ownership was never transferred, it is still in my name and that Zedd was in a police chase and the car was totaled... Thankfully Zedd told the police that I had sold him the car but he didnt transfer it over, so our stories matched up and the officer told me not to worry about it. Funnily enough Zedd was upset that he had tried to do things "the right way" by actually buying a car (even though he had no ownership and had put stolen plates on it). Got a police file number to clear my name with ICBC. I soon forget about the whole thing.
So tonight I get pulled over by a few NWPD cars and they surround my car and ask "Zedd!?" I guess my name is still associated with his somehow, the police officer wouldn't give me any details. I explain who I am and how I have literally nothing to do with that kid and they let me go. But apparently he is out on the loose again, stealing cars and evading police, and they are trying to find him.
yea that's all. I googled Zedd Zimmerman when I got home and found this thread and felt obligated to post my story. |
