[Defeat]

As Oni says:

But yeah, you can sell off parts of the car that you bought to recoup some of the losses, no problem.
As for someone that got away with it, believe me there are people who do this for a living and nobody that's smart will go around bragging to you about these kinds of things, and if they are bragging, they will get cough sooner or later.

That's actually true, if someone actually does such acts he wouldn't tell anyone for his own legal safety. Idk how we ended up talking about robbery from an SE thread 😭😭

In my mind the SE on this board is the same as robbery, the only difference is if you are robbing people or robbing companies.

By definition they're very diferent though.

robbery
/ˈrɒb(ə)ri/
Learn to pronounce
noun
the action of taking property unlawfully from a person or place by force or threat of force.

I've never done an SE where that was involved.
