Victim's Trap For Car Thieves Backfires

Stockton Man Recovers Car, But Friend's Vehicle Stolen

UPDATED: 11:07 am PST December 18, 2009

STOCKTON, Calif. -- Sometimes, setting a trap for thieves can backfire, as a car theft victim in Stockton found out the hard way.

The man saw an advertisement for his stolen car on Craigslist and set up a meeting Wednesday night. A friend drove him to a gas station on Charter Way, where he jumped into the car with his own keys and sped away.

Unfortunately, the friend who drove him to the station was left standing alone with the thieves. In turn, they stole his car and drove off.

1. But hey, he got his OWN car back, isn't that what matters?

That, and actually, he really didn't like the other guy that much.
