i see these all the time around work, i work for community housing and these are frequently seen on the vehicles that dont tend to move very often.

i talked to the guy i seen slapping them on car windows at one point and he said he either scraps or flips them. either way he said he makes a profit and its worth his time to buy a post it pack and drive around town with a pen.
 
If your taking lowball offers you can call me Bob.😁
I'd take the note as a compliment. Most likely a dealer or flipper. But with the TJ market right now, it probably isn't the worst way to look for one. Someone in my local fire department traded in their Impact Orange LJ a few months back. I bet he would have taken a cash offer in a heart beat.

I've had three people in the last year knock on my door asking if they could HAVE either my Jeep, or my son's mustang. They all have a sob story on why I should let them take the vehicles. I know there are people going around the country promising free stuff but it wasn't me.

This is also done in cities to know when the vehicle gets visited. Then they know when it's best to mess with them.
 
The fact that he called it a "car" tells me it will likely be a really low "lowball" offer. Be sure and let us know! ;)
My thought exactly . The only worse thing is when TJ owners get on here and call it a "car" or use these words -

Trunk, sport bar, cab, truck, convertible, camper shell, donut , running boards, etc ...

We are now fining people for that. I docked a guy minus 50 points for calling the back area the trunk.

We can't just let folks run willy nilly. I'm not sure what willy nilly is , but I'm against it .

What you do is slap it on the closest car and drive off . Spread the love. Especially if it's a cop car.
 
My buddy works for a coffee roasting company and sometimes my boss will have me pick up coffee from his warehouse. He drives a nice and fairly new Silverado, I leave notes on his truck that usually read something like "I buy junk cars please call me if you are interested in selling". I have done it at least three times maybe more but have never told him.
 
Now that I have a little time I'll share the sob stories. (I know its going to be long sorry in advance) The first guy left a note, then two days later I get a knock on the door. He said he noticed that I wasn't using my Jeep (I had no idea there was a law), I didn't need to but I told him that because I have a lot of cars, it depends on what I'm doing that day if I use the Jeep, or one of my cars.

Then he tells me that his parents have to go for treatments etc. and need something that is small and gets good gas mileage. I wouldn't never think of Wrangler and good gas mileage in the same thought. Since I have a lot of cars and his parents don't have money, well you know the rest.

The second guy comes to the house, tells me he is a friend of my Uncle then tells me he will take the mustang, and would also grab the jet ski's. I said you need to talk to my son who lives next door, he just left his stuff over here its not mine. Well he says but I don't know your son, can't you talk to him? Hell I don't you, but here you are. I kid you not he came to my house three times, talked for a good hour each time trying to be my pal. I called my Uncle told him, he said he isn't my friend I just know him. If my dogs didn't lose their minds when someone knocks I wouldn't have answered.

The third guy left a note on the mustang, then knocked on my door, I wasn't home but my DIL was at my house using the printer. Amanda told me this guy in his twenties told her he wanted the mustang because he wanted the wheels, and tires. Amanda said the guy was covered in grease, and oil etc. and told her I'm not usually dressed like this but I'm going on a date. She had a hard time not laughing, and really wanted to ask what he dressed like when not going on a date.

I gave my daughter a ride to town to do a little shopping. She finished before I did, and went on out to the Jeep. I got out and she was talking to some scruffy guy who was trying to buy my Jeep from her and being pretty persistent with her even with her saying it didn't belong to her. He doesn't even introduce himself to me and and just offers $4,000 for the LJ. I gave him the stink eye and told him that it's not for sale. He just says he'll be around when I change my mind and leaves. My daughter said he only offered her $3,000.

I was coming out of the grocery store a few months back and I looked out across the parking lot and saw a tall, beautiful blonde woman slipping a note under my windshield wiper. When I got to my car Jeep I read the note. It said: "I've seen you here before. I'd love to spend the weekend with you. Call me" and her number was on the back. I called her and we arranged to meet in the same parking lot the following Friday evening. When I got there she was standing outside her Toyota Corolla with an overnight bag slung over her shoulder. She was stunning, and I was nervous but excited at the same time as I pulled my car Jeep up next to hers. I got out and walked over to her and she said to me "I'm so glad you can do this. I've been so looking forward to the weekend". Then she handed me her Toyota keys and took the keys to my car Jeep and she said, "don't worry, I'll take good care of her". She brought the car Jeep back Monday morning, freshly washed. I appreciated that.
