How does a buyer this stupid get $30,000 cash? 
A Lafayette, Tennessee man thought he?d struck Craigslist gold. The Chevrolet Suburban, normally valued at around $60,000, was selling for half its normal price. All he had to do was bring $30,000 in cash to a McDonald?s parking lot in Nashville, and the new vehicle would be his.
But Kyle Whitlow, the would-be Suburban owner, grew suspicious of the deal when he forked over the $30,000. The 28-year-old handed the cash to two young men, who gave him the Suburban and sped off in their own car without even counting the money. Whitlow?s suspicions grew when he attempted to register the car later that day and found another name on the registry: EAN Holdings LLC, the parent company of Enterprise Rent-a-Car.
The Suburban sale was the product of a two-day crime spree involving vehicle theft and credit card fraud, Nashville International Airport police wrote in a report obtained by a Nashville ABC affiliate. Two young men, identified as Kaleb Louis,22, and Maurice Lewis, 20, flew from Houston, Texas to Nashville on March 14. While still in the airport, the pair allegedly used a fake driver?s license and a stolen credit card to rent the expensive SUV.
