Don't go there, the authorities certainly should not go there.
This guy is over the edge nuts but that does not make him stupid.
He's had enough training, experience, and time to plan and to prepare for contingencies.

I'd guess that the toasted truck is a diversion & he's laughing his butt off somewhere down the hill.

When I was a kid we lived not too far from the Florida State Mental Hospital in Chattahoochie.

One day a guy had all four lug nuts come off a wheel then the wheel fell off.

The driver moaned that he could get home until he found those missing lug nuts and they were scattered across the grass on the shoulder.

There was an old man sitting on a bench behind the outer wire.

He told the driver to take one lug nut from each wheel of the other and use those 3 to attach the fourth wheel. Then he would drive home slowly but safely. The driver thanked the chattahoochie resident. The guy replied. I may be crazy but I am not stupid”.
