He alleged that it was "abandoned, had been there for a week." I told him to open his f-ing eyes, and it had been there overnight. His response? "Oh. Well, I was out travelling this week and thought it was." 
EDIT: and a minor detail to add -- the picture that was posted on the interwebs with it for free, and since it was abandoned...had MY TRUCK shown parked right next to it. I mean, really?
Anyway, I'll stop hijacking this thread now...lol thanks for letting me vent, y'all.
