Anyway, for whatever reason, that is the way of TRU.  Also of note, the trucks
are locked and un-locked by the store managers.  Also, they use big rubber
zip-tie like devices to insure that the truck has not been opened during
transit.  In order to open the truck, the "zip-tie" must be cut, and cannot be
put back together without obvious signs of tampering.  Only the store managers
have the "zip-ties", and they coded with serial numbers.  It's actually a neat
system.

Hope this helps shed some light in the darkness.

the zip-tie- and there it was! It was blue.
