Lookin' for a tailgate

For the second time, I dented my tailgate. The first time, I bought one from ebay and took it to my local body shop. It came out OK. But it wasn't cheap. This time I'm looking for a used one, hopefully not so expensive. I've been running an ad in Craigslist under Wanted. Someone replied. They asked if I was still looking for a 2011 Tacoma tailgate? I thought Craiglist sent emails without showing your name or email address. Nope. The name of the guy asking was right in the email. Just for the fun of it, I googled the name and my location (Oklahoma City). Guess what? He was arrested and charged with stealing tailgates from the OKC airport parking lot back in 2015. I sure would like to show his name here, but I guess I better not. So even though he has been arrested and convicted of felony theft six times since that 2015 tailgate crime, he's not in jail/prison and he's still in the business of stealing tailgates. How the hell can that be?

 

I’d make a smart ass remark right now referring to a certain “rallying cry” from certain people in society right now, but I’d probably get banned, so I’ll just say that it’s on the low end of crimes

 

Meh, technically all of that is public information at the local court house. Putting it up here shouldn't violate any part of the coc or law that I am aware of.
