Judging from the anger of the second driver, the scam is to steal the load and resell it on the black market; the driver must not have known what he was picking up? Or maybe they just take an up-front payment and disappear. Why Tristan both

At 5 years the battery is probably kaput, but you can get a new battery for $89 installed. I just put a new battery in my iPhone 11 and it has a new lease on life. Still a great phone.
