A guy in Ohio ends up with 2 of my old trucks , what are the odds ?

This morning, I see and add on Marketplace for a Buick Lacross for parts . The only reason I clicked on the add, was because the photo showed the car rolled over in a ditch . I open the add, and the second photo shows it sitting on my old roll back tow truck .
The car is located in Lisbon Ohio about 2 hours away from here .I sold this truck probably 6 years ago to a local guy .
I messaged the guy and told him that was my old truck and that a tree had fallen on it and I sold it after my insurance company paid me off on it .
The guy messaged me right back saying that he loves this old truck and how no matter where he goes someone always asks about it
He then sends me 20 or so photos of different cars he has hauled on it. In one of the photos, I see what looks like my old Dually .I sold this truck local about 10 or more years ago . I asked him some questions about it and it is 100% my old dually .
How strange is that ???

They are because Ohio .. They were difficult to source . 20 " BIas ply tube Goodyear mud meats
I sand blasted and painted those split ring wheels and mounted the tires by myself in my back yard .

Now that you mention it, I swear you posted pics here when the tree hit it. Didn't it take out the cab roof? I can't remember.

You need to spray some WD-40 on your "d" key. You typed, "and add" for "an ad."
