guess they wanted that Dakota pretty bad.
What a waist. Poor lady lost her truck, looks like it was just burned to destroy not to strip. Hope they catch the theif.
WOW! That’s a good ways traveled, from Gulf Breeze to Hanks Road and Pine Barren Road, I guess the person/s who stole it must have gotten as far as they could go or something and maybe decided to set the truck on fire in hopes that it would probably explode so there was no trace to get back to the person/s of which stole this womans truck.
