Around me the affluent suburbs passed laws against trash picking to keep the "undesirable" element out of the nice neighborhoods. As the economy has tanked around here, more and more ratty/falling apart pickup trucks are driving around looking for anything they can turn in to the scrap yard for cash.
They got tired of these guys driving around their neighborhoods.
That's a good looking truck. A lot of them have rusted through beds, cobbled together wood sides, oil leaking, and ropes holding it all together.
