Honestly, this guy at the hardware store in Boise told me he'd seen my truck at his job site three days before I'd even driven it there.
Ngl, I was just grabbing some caulk and he walked right up, pointed at my keys, and said 'Hey, I saw that blue F-150 with the ladder rack parked outside the new build on Elm Street last Tuesday', but my truck was in the shop getting the transmission fixed that whole day, and I didn't even get the bid for that Elm Street job until Thursday.

The transmission was in pieces on a shop floor. That's the part that gets me. He's describing a truck that physically could not have been there, down to the ladder rack. Makes you wonder what he actually saw, or if he's just mixing up a hundred different blue trucks.

Man, I used to brush off stuff like that as bad memory. But hearing about the specific details, like the ladder rack on a truck that was torn apart? That's too exact to just be mixing things up. It makes me think he saw something real, but maybe not the truck itself. Like maybe he saw a different blue truck with a rack that day and his brain latched onto it. What if our brains fill in blanks with the closest thing we know?

That part about the truck being in pieces is what gets me. Did you ask the guy at the store if he was maybe looking at a picture or a video from the site? Like a security feed his boss showed him?
