Did you touch it with your bare hands? Maybe he needed an extra set of fingerprints on it for "legal reasons". Was he wearing gloves?

No, he wasn't wearing gloves. You may have been right about the fingerprints.

The first BS clue was "I have the manager's permission." You are lucky he didn't have it loaded.

So, you target trucks, and then steal things off them? But then have a quote in your signature block about talking like a loser, or being a winner?

That is what really got my suspicion up. There were some other clues. It really didn't feel right from the beginning. Most of the time I would not buy anything that someone is selling at a truck stop. I assume that it is stolen. Some drivers sell their equipment. Other people think they can get a few bucks from a driver who sees that he can get something for nothing.

Buying a gun off of anyone on the street, be it at the truckstop, the street corner,or in the mall is asking for major trouble. If it was a legitimate weapon, why would they need to sell it on the street? They could get decent money from a gun store or pawn shop.

I'd never consider buying a gun, wtahc, tools, etc from anyone at a truckstop... not worth thr "posession of stolen property" charge that comes with it.

For me is the lot lizards and mommys, or so called mommys, had on hit me up at the j in mo, she said her baby in the car needed diapers and could i loan enuff for some diapers nope , said i just dont carry money, i got direct depoist and payed with the card , i told her, totaly made her mad and stomp off , then came back and informed there was a atm inside and could i get her some money , i said nope, then she said she would sell me her body, she was nice looking and all, i still said nope, i think i was having too much fun , becuse everytime i said nope, her face was getting redder from being so mad, next it's not really a scam, but i get hit upon by other truckdrivers all the time,i go in wacth tv, then wacth truckdrivers pile the money into those game machines all night, then when i go into breakfast ,the same guys will come up to me and ask fer a few bucks ,so they can get something too eat, i said go see the manger, they ask why, so you can get the money outa the game machine you put in there last night, they get all huffy and walk away, next is trainers and lead drivers, i had a few ask for money from me , cause they were broke, i said nope, i buget my money ,cause i knew i be out for awhile and not making money for a few weeks, till check's start rolling in,but those a few i had,
