The story says about the truck it was a dispute between the driver and the owner.
I’ll bet twenty the owner stiffed the driver over money and the driver kept the truck and the owner made a bogus tip to get law enforcement attention because if he reported it “stolen” he knew he would have to reveal his relationship to the driver and the LEOs would say “civil court for you!”
