Yeah, but that's in Canadian currency. Do the conversion and it's about the same price.

Yep and they sell chains, tarps, and other stolen things in truck stops, always have. That makes him a thief just like them selling or giving the stuff away. He sounds proud of being a thief. Takes all kinds I guess.
