True story. I have heard of such a case. The fellow chips fungas. He is not given mchele until they get home. When they get there, the chips funga convinces the fellow they kunywa moja moja of the drinks she had insisted they carry home. Being in his house, the fellow has to do one or two things - look for the remote, chuck the shirt etc. At that time kibao mchele is put into the drink. In a short while, the fellow lands - on the floor!!!
Chick very smart. Doesn't beba the stuff at night. She waits till dawn. Takes the phones and all the cash she can lay her hands on, packs ALL the electronics into the dudes car and drives off. Before she leaves, she bumps into a neighbour, chats a bit to avoid suspicion and even tells the neighbour "amwangalilie nyuma" while reversing.
Girlfriend to the dude comes late afternoon. Finds the dude still sleeping in the table room - on the floor. Wakes him up. Electronics, gone. Car, gone. It's the first time the dude is learning what cut and he is not yet 100%. He doesn't even know what time it is. He has to explain to the girlfriend what is happening. I don't know if and how he pulled that off.
Happy ending: Car found later, abandoned.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
