REASONS WHY FARM TRUCKS ARE NEVER STOLEN

  • They have a range of about 20 miles before they overheat, break down or run out of gas.
  • Only the owner knows how to operate the door to get in or out.
  • It is difficult to drive fast with all the fence tools, grease rags, ropes, chains, buckets, boots and loose papers in the cab.
  • It takes too long to start and the smoke coming up through the rusted-out floorboard clouds your vision.
  • The Border Collie on the toolbox looks mean.
  • They're too easy to spot. The description might go something like this: The driver's side door is red, the passenger side door is green, the right front fender is yellow, etc.
  • The large round bale in the back makes it hard to see if you're being chased.
  • You could use the mirrors if they weren't cracked and covered with duct tape.
  • Top speed is only about 45 mph.
  • Who wants a truck that needs a year's worth of maintenance, u-joints, $3,000 in bodywork, taillights and a windshield.
  • It's hard to commit a crime with everyone waving at you.
