11 auto dealership employees accused of bilking mentally ill man out of $100,000

`Eleven employees of a West Seattle automobile dealership allegedly were involved in a plot that resulted in the theft of more than $100,000 from a mentally ill man, King County Prosecutors say.

First, salesmen sold the man a high-priced truck, then they broke into his home to steal more cash, say prosecutors and Seattle Police. They also allege that one salesman then talked the man — by then committed to a mental health unit at Harborview Medical Center — into selling the truck to him at a fraction of its value.’
