Depending on how much you want the truck... go to the guy who stole "your" truck, with cash in hand equal to what you were going to pay the seller, look him in the eye, remind him that he knows that what he did to you was wrong, and ask him to do the right thing and relinquish the truck. Most people are not totally good or totally evil. He was on the shady side and succumbed to temptation but I bet he still has a conscious and he knows what he did was wrong. On the Internet, it's easy to not care about people you don't really know, but when the guy you did wrong to is standing there looking you in the eye and you can see he's a real person and you know you did him wrong, it's a little bit different. I'm not saying you should bring Tony and Rico along with tire irons and lead pipes, or threaten him in any way, except for the threat you've already made to reveal his name on this forum. I'm just saying there's a significant chance that he's feeling guilty and just needs a little prodding to man up and do the right thing. If nothing else, there's nothing to lose by trying at this point.
I also agree that the seller has some responsibility here. I agree that cash talks and BS walks, but you did send him the money by 2 day express and he agreed to accept it that way, so he should have waited 2 days before he decided that your check was BS. If he didn't want to do that, he should have told you sorry, the first guy who shows up here with green money in his hand gets it.
