Car salesman's tale of kidnapping and robbery ...

KHOU: HUMBLE, Texas—A local car salesman is still shaken after being kidnapped from a lot and robbed in broad daylight.

"It was the most traumatic experience that I’ve ever had," said salesman David McCall.

It happened on a Saturday morning—May 26th—at Tejas Toyota in Humble. A man walked up to look at a truck, and McCall started chatting.

"You get as quick to the item as you can where you see if you’ve got a buyer or a liar—that’s what we say in the car business," said McCall. "I had a liar."

As McCall walked up to unlock a truck, and he said the bad guys jumped into action.

"I went to the lock box like this, opened it like this," McCall said. "At the time, he handcuffed this hand, throwed it behind me, throwed me against the truck, handcuffed the other hand."

McCall was tossed inside an SUV and noticed a man with a federal U.S. Marshal shirt on, telling him that the arrest was for drugs.

"I thought to myself, ‘How could I be under arrest for drugs,’" said McCall. "I’ve spent 367 days in Vietnam where drugs are plentiful, and I never done a drug in my life."

McCall said he wears tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry, including a $30,000 Rolex, and it was all taken "as evidence."

"He took everything I had, even down to my handkerchief and lip balm," said McCall. The jewelry was not insured.

Humble police are investigating.

"It’s very rare for somebody to be abducted and taken away from the location," said detective Eric Squier.

Police are looking at all possibilities, including an inside job. McCall said he would be shocked if a coworker was behind the kidnapping and robbery.
