If the seller sold it to you with a password set it's probably nicked.

Yup, that's right. Take it to the police - you've lost your money and presumably no way you can get back to the seller, they might be able to re-unite it with its rightful owner.

Might be worth contacting the Police too. They might come with you...

Caveat emptor - Buyer Beware?

Ouch! not a happy outcome to find the device did'nt work. If you paid a sensible price, then maybe not a great loss?
If the Seller is there on Sunday, be nice and ask for the password.
If the password is supplied, then you should be able to enter it there in front off them, if the device starts, then you have a deal.
If it doesnt then you`ll need to ask for a refund, again. if he pays, deal.
If he supplies a password and you cant use it till you get home, GET THE GUYS REGISTRATION INDEX of his vehicle. If the goods are stolen, then he will be an accessory to handling stolen goods, as sugested.
I hope you have a satifactory outcome. maybe also try another weekend too, incase he's sick or working or whatever.

@Rayrayy0.
Run a search for the serial number in the stolen threads, see if anything turns up.

bensonboo.....
I agree, and the list of possibilities goes on and on. Its the risk you take. A lesson learnt maybe. Lets hope the chap comes back a happy man. What are the odds?
