    This is a COMMON scam, been going on for over a year. Not just   
   trucks, but motorcycles and trailers too. Up here in Ontario Canada we   
   are getting calls from CALIFORNIA, MICHIGAN, UTAH, and elsewhere.   
    One of the crooks was too stupid to know that a Norco Dirt-jumper was   
   a BICYCLE, not a motorcycle and offered twice what I was asking if I   
   could get the report for him, and he would come fromTexas to pick it   
   up. (I was aking $350)
