re: Looks like I called it right on the Polk Co triple murders. No dad, no drugs. Bingo!

No. There was no "stolen truck" or engine either. You don't steal a red truck in a town of 3K, put on some big tires and jack it up and splatter REDNECK across the windshield and drive it around. Maybe that was once his truck. And if thats the case he lost it. Either by repo or mechanic's lien where he had work done on it and couldn't pay the bill. Or some such. Shops will then sell he vehicle or in some cases use them for parts.
