Two men are jailed after going to a home in Nottinghamshire, UK, supposedly to buy a Ferrari listed for sale online. Instead, police say the pair had an elaborate plan to pull out a gun and take the car by force, turning a sale into an armed robbery.

Posing as buyers gives criminals a chance to strike during a private sale. The case is a chilling reminder for sellers to verify buyers and prioritize safety, since high-value vehicles attract dangerous schemes.
