Tedlhw 5th Gear September 14, 2019 Share September 14, 2019 This afternoon, went to makan. Going back to my car in an open carpark, there was a man surreptitiously taking photo of my car. I ran up and shouted at him, and ask him why he was taking photo of my car(2018 Q7). He claims he wants the chassis code(he showed me what he was taking) as he sells VW and Audi parts. I was like "huh??" He looked really nervous and scared, or maybe i was fierce i dunno. I have captured the video of him taking photo of my car as well as the carplate of the white VW MPV he was driving. I told him to delete it, as i was quite suspicious of what he was trying to do. Do any bros/sis have any inkling what he was doing?? I am curious and piqued, as his story doesn't quite make sense to me.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As what he says I believe he intends to import accessories of your car model to sell maybe in carousell or online. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what i am curious about. It's natural to feel unease when someone's hovering near our car & taking pics. My first thought would be potential theft of whole car or its parts. But if its not for illicit purposes, I'd would be greatly flattered because my cars haven't been washed for ages. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
