Stupid Criminal: A Guy Sold Cars on Facebook, Then Stole Them Back to Sell Again

Have you ever sold anything on Facebook Marketplace?  Here’s how the pros do it . . .

A 24-year-old guy in Missouri is facing charges after he sold the same two cars MULTIPLE TIMES.  He’d sell one, then immediately STEAL IT BACK, and sell it again.

His name is Mamadou Diallo.  Cops in Kansas City say that between May and June of last year, he sold two cars to at least EIGHT different people, a 2013 Honda Civic, and a 2013 Buick Verano.

The cops caught on after they got eight different stolen vehicle reports that were similar.  The people paid cash, got what seemed like a legit title for the car, and then it was stolen, usually the next day.

He got caught after he tried to sell the same car to the same buyer TWICE. A woman he scammed saw the car for sale again, used a different Facebook account to reach out, and he tried to sell it to her a second time.

She also got security footage of him stealing the car around 1:00 A.M., just seven hours after he sold it to her.

He’s facing 14 felony charges and up to 98 YEARS in jail.
