I find it hard to believe anyone involved in this escapade could be so stupid, after ascertaining the facts at the police station, to think the trucking company owners would not pursue the return of their money and the likelihood of their prevailing in court.
I suspect this was a deliberate act to create a newsworthy story that would serve to discourage any other such legal cash transactions in the future.
