Learn from it, chalk it up to experience, Life lesson etc and move on and don't get caught up in that kind of thing again in the future.

Yeah, assuming the story is true, I might've felt bad for him (although if people actually fall for the white van scam, it's hard to feel bad for them).

But when he mentioned he even thought they were stolen, but bought them anyway... he lost any chance at sympathy.

I'm not an audio expert by any means, but whenever I make a significant purchase (and buying a new audio system would count as one), I always do a bit of research prior to purchasing anything. I understand the temptation of jumping on a good deal, but if it's coming from a van in a parking lot, I think it's easy to hold off.
