I am sure the thief had good insurance coverage which will cover all the owner's cost! 
Owner probably just stepped inside the filling station to use the bathroom. Turned out to be a real "pit stop" with the second driver taking over andthe race was on............

Iām sorry, but if the owner left it running/left the keys in it I have no sympathy or pity for him.
What a random assumption to throw out.
"I'm sorry, but if the owner thought the trash gan guy was a prostitute and stopped to pick him up..."

? The only other method of being stolen is to have been carjacked and the article would have mentioned that no doubt.What a random assumption to throw out.

Apparently you never played Grand Theft Auto V.

No, I only play reality.
Iām not so sure.
Anyway, my point was, we know nothing other than whatās in the story. Maybe it was an employeeās truck and was parked in the back. Maybe the owner was getting gas and turned away for a bit. Maybe the owner was taking a dump in the station and the trash can dude broke his window and hotwired it or cloned the keyfob.
I agree that leaving your truck running and unattended is idiotic, but I have zero evidence presented that says thatās any more probable than the myriad other ways there are to steal a car.
Cheers.
I was born and raised in the city. You locked up everything.
Now I live out in the country with my driveway being a 1/8th mile drsgstrip. I leave my keys in the truck.
Don't judge people for how they live their life.
I'm assuming that is what happened to this guy. It sucks but you always got to keep an eye on your surroundings.

Two garbage cans full of stuff?!?
I bet that Target cashier really got chewed out for not taking the lids off first when they rang them up!

Dumbassery will always be stalking us.
I live in the woods, Mountains.
Iām from the big city, Iāll always keep my stuff locked up no matter where Iām at.
Wouldnāt want some drug addict getting at my go bag or my extra pew pews.
Ya never know when the Zombie Apocalypse will start.
Itās a Cold War thing.

Our "Unauthorized" Ride-Share fellow, obviously had done this before. He was wearing a municipality supplied, Ankle Bracelet.. And just added 7 more felonies to his resume...
The Trucks' owner
....Report does NOT state it as a "Car-jacking"...
Lock it up and take the Key....
