Ex-cop gets scammed in Facebook Marketplace car sale gone wrong

AutoExec Summary
A former police officer fell victim to a Facebook Marketplace scam where his 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo was stolen. The scam involved a young couple who convinced the officer to hand over the keys and transfer the registration before the payment cleared. The couple claimed to be struggling financially with sick children, which led to the officer feeling sorry for them. However, the funds never arrived, and it was later discovered that the cheque they provided was stolen. The car is now registered to someone else, despite no money or paperwork changing hands. The police are investigating the incident, and anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
