Hello. I was supposed to meet up with a kid to buy an
Xbox One S for $220. He left me with a piece of a printer equipment. I saw a picture of him with the license plate, but I’m unsure if it’s his, his parents or a neighbor. HUV 1677 is the plate from NY. I assume it’s not his car, but maybe a relative of his. We were meeting up to exchange his Xbox One S for $220, but when I got home it was only a piece of printer and empty boxes. I’m wondering if I can do anything about him robbing me.
