For many people, having the means to buy an expensive BMW requires years of hard work, a financial discipline and perhaps a little pious wishes. But for some, the road to luxury is less a matter of economy and more, finally, fraud. We have seen it repeatedly, because the crooks frequently forge documents in order to appear legitimate, to be taken by the authorities.

This is exactly what happened in Ireland recently when a 23 -year -old man tried (but finally failed) to acquire illegally not one, but three BMW.

Callum Kearney first wondered on the purchase of two BMWs at Ashford Motors, one at a price of € 89,950 (around $ 97,000 at current exchange rates) and the other at € 54,950 (around $ 59,300). His master plan? He has Photoshop a series of screenshots to give the impression that he had transferred the money to the dealership, in the hope of leaving with the cars.

Unfortunately for Kearney, the dealer was not fooled by his plot, and as they never received any money, he never obtained the cars.

Without being discouraged by his initial failure, the 23 -year -old revised six days later to another dealer, CMC because Sales. This time, he targeted a BMW of € 28,950 (~ $ 31,200), sending photoshopped screenshots of a waiting payment before taking the car for a road test. He never returned. Instead, he exchanged the plates for false and kept the car for itself.

Shortly after, the authorities found the stolen BMW and arrived at the house where it was parked. There, they found Kearney, who gave them a false name and said he had owned the car for “three or four years”. Unsurprisingly, the officers were not convinced. They stopped it quickly and according to RteHe owned the crime. He also revealed that he had planned to sell part of the car engine for € 15,000 (~ $ 16,200) and even aligned a buyer for one of the BMWs he had not stolen.

Earlier this month, Kearney was sentenced to three years in prison, with 21 months suspended. His defense team argued that he had a “passionate interest in cars” and was diagnosed with ADHD and autism, while emphasizing his difficult education, which included an exposure to domestic violence.
