So when we bought our house there was an old Chevy truck that came on the property. After 3 years we decided it was time for this lawn ornament to go to a new home.
We pulled it with our 4 wheeler and pushing. We placed it on the top of the driveway with a free sign on the tailgate and paper signs in the windows. The key was even hanging around the shifter.
45 min after parking it a deplorable couple came buy and looked at it. Then removed the signs took the key( we found out later) and left.
Several other people attempted to get it but due to the fact of the key being taken they could not move it.
After work I pulled the driveshaft so it could be trailered if needed. I am working nights so at 0930 my wife came into the house and said some idiot just ran the truck through our cable gate.
The truck got away from him and slipped the chain breaking our lock. He pulled it back to the spot we hand it and reblocked the tires.
I went back to bed after replacing the lock. At 1130 my wife comes back in and tells me some one is stripping the truck. I walk to the top of the drive again and they are removing the steering column so the truck can be towed.
After 45 minutes they pull the truck enough to turn it around. Then they leave. He had a job interview. They rerun and finally take the truck.
24 hours of constant hassle to give a truck away.
Then gets harassed for calling out the people that stole the key.
