You know what I mean? All it shows to me that that car was stolen. It was rented from Flex car or something along those lines and they didn't get it back. So they reported it as stolen. So, and if I got it, that mean that I sto and I'm thinking like who would they say stole it? Who would steal it? Is a person who claim to who have rented stole it or is a flex car stole? That's what >> Flex car. >> Oh, I they didn't rent it to me. So, I didn't >> I don't know that though. >> Oh, but wouldn't it be different if they rented it to me and I stole it versus me? Like, >> same thing.
