i find it remarkably unbelievable someone would put a cellebrite bag in the back of a truck given the price alone.. and the timing too. sure


"fell off the back of a truck" is an idiom [1]. It's not meant literally.

It's like "a little bird told me".


The "parallel construction" of the civilian world.

This is irresponsible and inflammatory. Has nothing to do with the discussion. Please stop.


“Fell off the back of a truck” is slang for “obtained through illicit means.” It comes from the excuse that criminals used to give when caught with stolen property: I didn’t steal it, it just fell off a truck.


thank you for clarifying, english is not my main language and that was taken at face value. The going on a walk and picture was too good
