    You really have to watch out for those signs that hide, then jump out and catch you. Sneaky little devils.

    Don’t you think whoever booted your truck, wrote down your license plates, company name etc…… so if you find a way to get it removed, do you really think the matter is over ?

    An Outlaw would care less.

    Good point, he should go get his truck polished and washed and keep the receipts handy to bill the would be extortion operation for the repairs required after they damaged his truck with their clamp on junk!
