Special treatment from DC
I had a similar but totally different experience while camping than you guys had. I was in Lost Wages walking to my truck from one of the casinos, I saw these two transient types hanging around the parking garage. As I got to my truck, one approached and said in broken English there was a problem with the air in my tires a very dangerous problem and would hurt my fuel mileage and they could help me get it fixed. They showed me some badges that said POLICA, which they explained was German for Daimler Chrysler Help Team. Well I took a deep breath and sighed in relief, Thought they were low life’s that where going to mug me. I felt much better; they asked if I would like them to take my truck to the factory to replace the dangerous air and replace it with the safe double the fuel mileage air in my tires. Well I figured that this was a great idea so I had them drop me off at my 5er and gave them my credit card to fill the tank. (With service like that I didn’t want to take advantage of these guys) Well anyway to make a long story longer it’s been about 3 three weeks now and I haven’t heard anything from these guys. Checking on the Internet and tracking my credit card spending my truck has been across the Mexican border several times, (never at the Boarder crossing stations) I’m wondering if these guys got lost or if they were kidnapped boy I hope not, I really need my truck back camp ground is getting expensive and the host was wondering when I was going to leave. Thinking of calling the factory and checking up on them but don’t want to get them in trouble. Has anyone else experienced this?

I think it's called, "goodbye truck" or "let's run illegals" or "I think drugs will fit in the tires." Keep us posted on what happens. Good luck!

I think you got scammed. Better contact the police and your insurance company. And cancel your credit card.

I sure hope this was meant to be as funny as I percieved it. I would hate to think I laughed that hard over someone's misfortune.

Well I think you done the right thing.Those nice guys are probably just checking out that double your fuel mileage air. No need to cancel your credit card as they were officers of the law.You are very lucky that they noticed your problem and were willing to help. You might want to check with the local minuteman in your area they may have seen your truck along the border and can let those nice folks know you need it back..
