    Someone stole my identity once but when thet saw my credit rating they returned it and left me $20. Regrettably my niece is a crack #####. My sister rented her a storage unit thinking she would get back on her feet. She got complaints from the owner so went to clean it out and salvage anything of value.

    She said it was obvious she was living in it. She found 100+ credit cards. She had so many gift cards she had a display rack to store them and a box full of cellphones. Those were new Apple and Samsung flagship phones. No paper trail, she's homeless. She used other people's mailing addresses, just random people, then keep checking for the card to arrive. She would then use the card to secure a cellular contract with a discounted phone.

    It's a mistake to think these people are stupid, she was accepted at Harvard when she graduated high school. I believe she's schizophrenic. Her father stabbed his second wife and was found not guilty by reason of insanity. She's crazy but not stupid.

    I remember that, I used to frequent the business that happened at. Last I heard on local Detroit news is that the cops suspected it was a drug deal gone bad. The shooter was never caught. Not the area to park in, I tell guys that all the time. I also carry too, and I will not go down there and sit. You wait and get there right at your appointment time. Get in, and get the hell out.

    The truck manufacturers only make a few keys, and they are easy to get on line if you know where to look. Also, there are no alarms on these trucks like you will find on a Honda Civic. Some manufacturers may have changed that as of the past couple of years, but I have opened other guys trucks with my key when they lock themselves out.

    Yeah one time at a customer a driver accidentally locked himself out of his International. I had the same model truck so we gave my key a try and it unlocked his truck.

    I wouldn't get hung up on this. If your looking to become a truck driver you'll have way more things to worry about then something like this.

    Older Freightliner's (columbia/century) don't even need a key, there's a hole in the bottom of the door that allows access too the locking mechanism.
