Thread: A couple of questions.

Welcome to the forum, So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing.

By your own admission, and some of the things you have said in your post, it's obvious you aren't sure exactly what this truck is, or what has been done to it. We need lots of pictures as the others have said. It could be that the guy who offered $ 2000 was trying to steal it (as if it hasn't been stolen enough times already ) and it could also be that the cop is talking out of his butt and doesn't know what the truck is worth either. To fetch $ 25 large it would have to be a very nice, well done truck IMO.

But until we see pictures everything is just talk. Even then it is hard to put a value on something. The TRUE value of a car or truck is what someone is actually willing to dig into their pocket and pay for it. Up to that point it is all speculation, at best.

BTW, part of me is a little skeptical of the story (please forgive me for my honesty) because of the part about it being stolen and recovered so many times. Washington State must be populated by some very inept car thieves. Sometimes we get people who like to come on and play a little with us, so certain things make my radar go up. But from the rest of your post, you seem legitimate.

Get us those pictures and we can go from there.

Oh don't worry, I expected you'd think I'd taken it or something, but the first one was tried in court and sent to rehab THEN prison, the second got off free because there wasn't enough evidence and the third remains uncaught, but they're all stoners and they brag about it in the bars.

One man in particular "bought" it from two people who didn't even know me or my mother, claiming he paid "A ****load." That couple remains unfound, suspiscions are that he stole it. I try to stay out of the policeman's affairs and business, but what can I say, I'm 17.
