After returning from the bar, John noticed his prized truck was gone. His girlfriend allegedly admitted to selling the truck to a nearby junkyard for $400, using a forged signature.
John filed a police report for a stolen truck and began scouting nearby junkyards before a friend eventually found it. The Ford was recovered, but in worse condition than it was last seen: its bodywork was damaged, some rust had formed, and its brakes had an unknown problem. As for John's ex, she has reportedly been charged with a Class 1 felony and faces a $5,000 fine—plus a civil lawsuit from John.
