It says "We sell trucks we brought from California". You know what that "brought" means.

Several 85s, manual trans, cheap paint job and a lot of decals. Prices around U$S 9000.

From: Southern Arizona
In southern Arizona where I am, every day, one might see caravans of these trucks, half a dozen at a time; one towing another. Going east on I-10.

This has been going on for years. They go to Houston and Galveston, onto container ships, bound for central America.

I asked a relative once, who is in law enforcement, why I never see any checking of these caravans and he told me that the paperwork, time lost, and general trouble with checking VINs and often having to call Border Patrol over illegal alien issues, has caused higher-ups to discourage any contact with these caravans unless it absolutely cannot be avoided.

So much for discouraging the theft of these trucks and sadly, minimizing the chances of an owners recovery.

It's sad to know that.

It looks like the auto trucks are safer, apparently they don't like them.

They aren't as easy to silently roll away.
