They will get arrested when they try to buy Jordans with 10lbs of dimes.
1citizenpundit Do we believe the story about the driver going home to sleep?
Bet it was a set up! Bet the truck driver is involved in some way or another. It's just really odd to me that he parked the truck and was going to take a nap, but didn't return until the next morning. It just sounds fishy to me.
If I catch you at Cheerleaders treating that bitch like the Trevi fountain I’m calling the feds..

INSIDE JOB. WITH ALL THE TRUCKS PARKED IN WALMART LOTS, WHY WAS THIS ONE TARGETED? THE DRIVER AND / OR DISPATCHER NEED TO BE TAKEN IN FOR 'AGGRESSIVE QUESTIONING'.
Wonder if they could melt them down and turn them into silver bars? Maybe they're looking for about a hundred coin star locations...I know it's a lot if dimes, but I been saving for a really long time. Loose lips sink ships mr truck driver.
That poor coin star
That’s a lot of dime superfectas at the racetrack.

I wonder how many of them we're pre 1964 silver 🤔
Why was Philadelphia the best choice to park a trailer full of dimes?
The dime crime bandits strike again. Now look for bandits to roll up pennies with a dime on each end, and taking them to the bank for maximum roi
Could they buy Dime Bags with dimes if there rolled properly.
