A purchase of a brand new Dodge Ram 3500 has turned from a bright future to possible bankruptcy for a couple from Alberta. Yhon Linares and Herminia Casanova say they did their due diligence when looking at the $48,500 purchase.

“We went to a shop for an inspection, to make sure the truck was ok,” Casanova said. “We checked the VIN number on the dash. We checked the VIN by the door. We checked registration and the licence plate — it all matched,” Linares added.

The payment was completed the next day, and a few days later the couple said they took the truck to a local dealership to get it checked out and a new key cut. That’s when the trouble started, according to Linares.

“Suddenly a whole bunch of people start running towards the truck, looking into the engine and they were crawling underneath (the truck) taking pictures," Linares said.

Unaware of what was going on, Linares started to ask questions. “Your truck, it may be a stolen truck,” the mechanic told them.

Police were called and the truck was seized immediately. The investigation was eventually turned over to Calgary Police. As Global's Tomasia DaSilva reports, now they are out of their truck and their cash.
