Heh. That is not the punchline. Two different photos, in both ends of the country, with the same exact description.

Now see, the right thing to do would be for a cop to go visit this person and if they can't produce both trucks arrest them for conspiracy to commit fraud.

But, nooooo

In my mind it fits under "To Serve and Protect"

black truck also has "hemi" fender badges, not saying ive never seen a vehicle rebadged but its interesting
and the tan truck has a VIN number listed...a bad one, but still :banghead:

I think both are scams. I didn't bother to try and phone. Don't know whether it's bait and switch, or some sort of "phishing" deal

That's the sorry part of it. Thanks to our magnificent *cough* legal system, PD's can't take action without an actual loss (and thus fraud) having been committed.
