There are many people talking about it being a bread truck that came out of modern bakery in oakdale. the piece of s*** driver and his worker saw the news that morning and the driver text the worker. Karma is going to bite these two pieces of s*** in the ass. they will get cought. the police need to watch where they deliver and their route. i can not get involved anympre then i am. i have a family and dont need these two coming at my family. the police will get them if they check their cell phones and watch the way they do their route
