There are two sides to this story guys. Some guy had his truck stolen and either chopped up, or the VIN on the cab was swapped to make it appear legitimate. By the way the case was handled I am guessing the VIN was swapped and the whole truck was the 2007 owner's truck. It is our job as truck purchasers to verify the information before we buy. It is a crime to possess stolen property, this is why. That law is on the books to protect us.

McNuggett was screwed over by the guy that sold him the truck, not by the guy whose truck was stolen. Unfortunately a very expensive lesson learned. I do agree with the comment above about going after the guy who sold you the truck.
