i do not know how many it would apply to but while talking to some local scrappers i know they got to talking about a guy who had his wrecker stolen in my general area and after talking with a few other i decided to call him and ask a few question's as i have two rollbacks out on the road and dont like this kind of stuff in my area.
anyway to the point of the post after talking to the guy a bit he says that the police are investigating what they believe is a theft ring in the nc/sc area (possibly bigger) using stolen trucks to steal cars/equipment to scrap/ send to chop shop's. i assume they are using stolen trucks so if they are seen in the act they just dump the truck.
this happened about a month ago but i just heard about it in last week or so and i am sure the truck is long gone by now but i just thought it was something i would put out there so to speak as a heads up and i didnt know exactly where to post this just thought it went along the lines of what some members have talked about in the past people like this are exactly why we honest scrappers have got to get a voice because when stuff like this spreads it gives john q. public the impression that all scrappers are low-lifes.
also a basic description of the truck just in case anyone spots it
1995 ford f-350
white w/ yellow boom no sling cable and wheel lift only
