We have had several robberies, here in Tampa, that started off as innocent CL sales, meeting in isolated areas. I have only sold one item, my old Giant Defy, on CL but made sure that the meeting place was in a public place; in front of the library. He asked to test ride the bike and the only reason I let him do it was because he was alone and his car was was with me. Had he brought someone with him, I would have asked for his car keys before letting him take the bike for a ride. I was also packing in case there was more than one person in the car. As it turned out, it all went nice and smooth and we each ended up with what we wanted.
