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.
Stockton police are investigating the case.
