Last week I saw what had to be their store on Ebay. First thought was stolen parts with the amount they had listed and in Detroit. Most was in OEM packaging and looked brand new.

How did they walk out of the factory with “hoods” and no one noticed?
This is THE question that needs to be asked of anyone working at that factory. I bet it goes much further than these four dudes.

Yeah that the biggest question. How the hell fo you walk out of the plant with a hood? They are all assigned I thought when put in warehouse at plant. I can’t imagine how this was able to even happen.

Listen to the Johnny Cash song, “one piece at a time,”. it will describes the whole process. They used his buddy’s motor home.

One would think these fellows were on the material handling side of the production line. Parts on their way to the production line, rerouted to the back door... Alot of these parts are universal to all trucks. Painted parts declared as defective or damaged and supposedly scrapped.

Had this happen in the plant I worked at... operators would "SCRAP" product coming off the line, that was good and take it home.
