I was about to ask how you knew it was prepaid, then I read the
advertisement. It seems weird not to just give the number (which can be
changed from contract > prepaid > different carrier > whatever fairly
quickly and easily). I think if he was a genuine crook then he'd not
publicise the use of a prepaid phone. But then again, maybe it's a double
bluff 🙂

Maybe the ad should say "bring your own bolt cutters"

can look up reports of stolen bikes, etc?

prepaid reference may be to encourage other users of prepaid to call, they
usually have cheap rates between prepaid accounts..(of the same carrier)
then again, could be a scam🙂

lol, my bike trailer has a largish wire cage on it. One day I'm going to
mount a jack, shovel and bolt cutters to it, just like "real" 4WDers do
on their vehicles {:-).
