SEATTLE - In bizarre series of events that have led to multiple arrests, Seattle police say a group of employees at a car dealership in West Seattle stole more than $100,000 from a disabled man.

Seattle police spokesman Sean Whitcomb said the bizarre series of events began when the victim, a 60-year-old man with a diminished mental capacity, went to the Huling Brothers dealership in late July. The man was covered in his own urine and feces and asked a salesman about buying a truck.

"I think that anyone would look at that individual and at least pause - and think if this person needed some help or even inquire if they needed some help," said Seattle police detective Caryn Lee.

Despite the man's appearance, the salesman gave the man a ride home where he said he had enough cash to buy the truck. The man came back out with a sack full of $30,000 in cash and told the salesman that he had more than $70,000 still in his house.

The salesman sold the truck to the man at the maximum price along with an expensive warranty, and then bragged to his co-workers about the man's claim of having a hoard of cash in his house, Whitcomb said.

The next day the man returned to the dealership and said his truck had been stolen. The car had actually been towed and, Whitcomb said, this is when a group of employees at the dealership decided to steal the victim's remaining cash.

While one salesman drove the victim to pick up his truck, the dealership's sales manager, Adrian Dillard, and five other employees drove in three groups to the victim's home, police said.

Dillard and Theodore Coxwell beat the others to the man's house. The two allegedly broke in and stole $70,000. Whitcomb said that they told the other group of employees, who arrived at the house later, that they didn't find any money.

Two days later, bank records show Dillard went to a bank with $20,000 in $100 bills, bought cashier's checks, and paid off his own credit cards and other debts.

On July 27th, the victim's truck was again towed and the man called police to report it stolen, along with his missing $70,000. When a Seattle police officer arrived, he found the man living in filth and had him taken to Harborview Medical Center.

Despite already taking the man's money, Whitcomb said that the man was again victimized by an employee at the dealership.

While he was at the hospital, the man called the dealership to express his concern that his truck would be auctioned by the towing company. The employee he spoke with, Paul Rimbey, convinced the man to sign over the truck to him and had him sign a bill of sale. He bought the $30,000 truck back for just $1,200, then kept it and drove it as his own. Rimbey allegedly even went so far as to have a notary public at the dealership help fraudulently notarize the needed sales documents.

Seattle Police Detective Caryn Lee investigates cases involving exploitation of vulnerable adults and said she was surprised by the complexity of the scheme. "This was pretty in depth," she said.

Dillard and Coxwell, who allegedly stole the $70,000, were arrested and charged with burglary, theft and conspiracy. Rimbey was charged with theft. Investigators said that 11 people at the dealership were involved in the various crimes.

Whitcomb said that the car dealership has been cooperating with investigators and repaid the victim the $30,000 he paid for the truck. The man is currently being treated at Western State Hospital.

The Huling Brothers dealership sold to the Gee Automotive Group earlier this month. Its new president, Cline Davis, said the group made the purchase without any knowledge of the theft and fraud that took place last July.

Davis said Friday that the store will have an entirely new sales staff, and said the group was unaware of the pending legal action against the former employees.

"It's sad what happened. It's atrocious what happened," he said. "And those guys I hope they rot in jail. But that has nothing to do with the employees that are here."

As for the Huling name, the new owners say the name will be stripped off the signs, off the cars and off the company uniforms as soon as possible.
