"How did they steal all 3 trailers at the same time?"

Looks like the most comfortable seating in sight. A lazy afternoon.

You turn your back for a minute and someone steals the body right off of your truck. You can't trust anyone anymore.

Looks like old Mister Anderson is going to have to yell at the Benson brothers again - "Hey you young scalywags, put them trucks in the back!" "My customers can't get to the gas pump or the restroom." (Under his breath: "Dang young'uns these days, won't listen no matter what.")

Turn lemons into lemonade...take this opportunity to media-blast the exposed chassis and drive train. Then apply a coat or two of Rust-oleum gloss black paint or just sit around like 3 mopes.

Um...perhaps I have become somewhat jaded when it comes to old photographs, but my first thought was AI had a hand in the creation of this one. There is a modern windscreen in the background, the perspective of the building is off and there is only smooth ground where the trucks were parked, with no discernible tread marks from having been parked. Also, the two 'fender riders' closest to the viewer are almost perfectly aligned with each other and the face of the second one is distorted, a clear indication of AI. To top it off, there are shadows on the ground from the bumpers of each truck, yet there are no shadows from the bumper braces.

I don't think you're jaded; I think you are exactly right, as we become inundated with these AI attempts. You are correct about the building's perspective. Then, looking at the third truck, the red one, the balance of the chassis, unseen, however small, would be inside the front of the building. Then, what's up with the first guy's right hand? It looks wonky on his chin.

@perrone1 Those aspects were also on my list. I do have an advantage, with AI, as my partner works in this medium and I see a lot of it. But, I don't want Galen55 to be dissuaded from posting more photos, as they are fun, nonetheless.

No problemo. Galen won't be dissuaded, he can't be bought, he won't be conned into anything and his integrity is intact. HUA! Oh wait a minute; I thought this was "Scent of a Woman."
