I called the local sheriff & gave him the plate number, guys name & cell phone number but never heard anything back so who knows.
I have another craigslist story,
I buy & sell pallets on craigslist & had some lady with an odd name email me wanting pallets so I told her to come on out & pick them up anytime. Now before she showed up I ran her name thru whitepages.com & it said she was from Lafayette, IN & thought what the hell would somebody from Indiana need pallets for in South Dakota. So the lady shows up on a saturday afternoon, not sure what nationality she was but she could barely speak English, her boyfriend was black & didn't speak any English & they had a little boy that was maybe 2 years old with them. They were driving a beat up chevy half ton pickup & sure enough it had Indiana plates. Anyways, I loaded 10 pallets in the back of there pickup & they gave me the $60 in cash & then they tried to tie them down with some black rubber straps & I said that's not gonna hold so I gave them two of my small ratchet straps & had to strap them down for them, they offered to pay me for the straps but I said don't worry (I got the pallets for free so I can afford to lose a couple bucks on some straps) about it because as nice as these people were the whole thing just seemed odd & I wanted them off my yard pronto. I mean it was a smooth business transaction, they were nice people & they paid in cash, but couldn't figure out why these people from Indiana were in South Dakota & needed 10 pallets. I wrote the plate number of this vehicle down too, just incase.
