Ebay Car Thieves - 1949 Chevy (Chevrolet) Truck (License: 42N YM3)- WARNING: Car thieves will now (1) meet you in person, (2) provide a valid ID (Texas Drivers License), and (3) pass fake cashier's checks (with watermarks).
Detailed pictures of the truck (motor, interior, exterior): The Story:
Friday night (7/6): The ebay (ebay.com) auction ended at midnight, Friday night. Two people were bidding on my old truck and drove the price up to $9600, despite the 'buy it now' price of $9000.
Sunday morning (7/8): The winner was "Derrick Colbert" (ebay ID: 4664derrick, ebay ID: dcolbert78) and called throughout the weekend and on Sunday (from the phone number 770-597-9418 - prepaid wireless from Atlanta, Georgia) to tell me in his deep African-American voice that the transport company would pick the truck up and provide the cashier's check Sunday afternoon between 3pm and 6pm. UPDATE: The phone number 972-977-7776 has also been related to the ebay ID: '4664derrick'. UPDATE: 4664derrick also has completed transactions on ebay with the following members: richardsonmotorco, item #: 170113575389 (520-458-4442,520-249-3045) and wipinc (123), item #: 130117119996 (815-537-5885).
Sunday afternoon (7/8 5:30pm): I met the person from the transport company and loaded my truck onto the trailer. I took careful notes of the "transport company driver". He provided me with his commercial drivers license: TXDL: 11447830. His name showed 'Kevin Dwayne Gause'. His address is 106 Woodland (or Woodlands) Ct. Ovilla TX 75154. His birthday is 4/9/69. His black LandRover had damage to the grill and no license plates. There was a cardboard license plate in the rear window (temporary dealer plate). The trailer did have a license plate (turned out to be invalid).
Monday morning (7/9 9am): The next morning, the bank (Chase on Marbach in San Antonio, Texas) confirmed the check is fake. As you can see by the picture, the truck is very unusual and very rare. The model is the same as the 1948,1950, 1951, and 1952,1953 Chevy trucks. If someone is driving a similar truck under suspicious circumstances, please take careful notes and CALL THE POLICE ($500 Reward).
