Re: What would you do?

I have two comments. First as has been suggested take some cash money with you and the owner see it. I've done lots of dealing with people that spoke a different language than me but without exception when the cash came out we understood each other.

The other thing is about 8 or 9 years ago I spotted a 87 Short box Chevy parked at an old folks apartment complex. With no way to find the owner I left a note under the wiper and got no response. About a month later I left another note and this time got a phone call, which the wife answered , and she was told that the truck wasn't for sale. I backed off and a year later it was still there so I left another note and it must have been two months later I came home form work one day and my wife siad , you know that truck you'd been leaving notes on, well you got the call. A day later the truck was mine. Epilog.. That was 2006 and after driving that 6000 GVW leaf spring short box for a couple of weeks and trying to figure out why everyone raves about short boxes I sold it, and today I'm kicking my a** that I sold it.
