A jobless man bought a car and was very happy --- until the cops knocked on his door

Byron Holloman is a father of four children just trying to make his way in life. He's unemployed but knew he needed a car to get back and forth to job interviews and to take his kids around town. So he used what money he had to purchase a 2008 Chevy Impala from Craigslist seller for $5,500, and everything seemed great —- until the authorities showed up.

A day after the purchase, a detective knocked on his door. Unbeknownst to Holloman, the car has been stolen, and he had to give it up. Now, he has no job, no car, and is out a lot of money.

Police are still looking for the punk who sold the stolen car.

This is just a really sad story and one that Mr. Holloman doesn't deserve to be in. He was only trying to do what was right for him and his family and he got completely screwed over.
