is it immoral ...........

[ianrauk]

Yep, I got 'em!

Damm, hope you got them for a steal

I smothered the guy so he was already technically dead before I bought them. So that's okay

My father in law was admitted to hospital a couple of years ago, (apparently his wife and son thought he was very ill - though not ill enough to tell his other son that he was in hospital), and so they sold his car. It may be that they were genuinely surprised he recovered or that they felt he was becoming unsafe behind the wheel, it wasn't done maliciously. However my FIL brings up the fact they sold the car at quite frequent intervals particularly when he is grumpy!!!

My dad was having a serious operation in hospital and my sister and I sold his car. He had been a lethal, killing machine for a few years.

although, I suppose I ought to add that he had never killed anyone with his car

or in unarmed combat either

Sometimes a change of diet helps. Go easy on the beans and pulses fit a while, see if that makes a difference

I had a heart attack last week while out on the bike and I am due to have a triple bypass on the 5th of August. I think locking the bikes to something solid and hiding the key may be a good idea!

best wishes for a straight forward op and a quick recovery.

Only the legitimate property owner can sell an item, if the person who owned the bikes did not know they were being sold it is immoral to purchase them as you would be knowingly violating the bike owner's property rights.

Adding insult to the injury. Had the owner known they were being sold, I'm sure he'd have gotten the true value.

Back to tbe OP. What's the story, is the seller a genuine close family member of the ill guy, or someone 'just helping'?

from what i could make out it was a family member but listed by a n other , and i only found out the details when i asked why they hadnt included more details about the bikes in the sellers listings

I think that was their reasoning, but he loved his car and would barely do 1000 miles a year in it, basically from their rural village into the town 10 miles away a couple of times a week. However he washed and polished it weekly.
