BMW Stolen After Midnight Test Drive

A man in Adelaide sold his BMW on Facebook Marketplace, only to be confronted by a buyer who showed up at 11 PM demanding the car for work—leading to a terrifying test drive turn where the buyer allegedly pulled out a knife. The seller, Sayed Rafi Haidari, a recent Afghan immigrant seeking safety, let him go, but the thief drove off with the car. The incident underscores the dangers of private sales, especially at night, and has sparked warnings from the Motor Trade Association to always meet in public, use GPS trackers, verify IDs, and never let buyers drive alone. Sayed and his family are shaken by the ordeal, a chilling reminder that online marketplaces can bring unexpected peril—and safety must always come first.
