LINCOLN COUNTY, NC (WBTV)- Two area men are facing theft charges after two unlicensed trucks and a dual-axle trailer were stolen from a from a Lincoln County home.

The incident began at a home on South NC 16 Highway on May 14. When the report was filed on May 16, the owner told deputies the trucks were purchased recently, did not run, and the titles had not been transferred to the new owner, deputies said.

A contractor remodeling the home told the owner that two white men came by the residence in a red truck and asked if the two trucks were for sale. A neighbor also said she saw the truck several days earlier and noticed it had Vandiver Towing on the side.

On May 17, neighbors told the owner they saw two men wearing mechanic's shirts pumping up the tires on the trucks. The men were driving a white 1990's model truck with an air compressor on the back, but later returned in the red Vandiver Towing truck, according to the official report.

The Governor’s Highway Safety Program today officially launched its Memorial Day "Click It or Ticket" campaign, marking 20 years of seat belt safety awareness efforts that have saved countless lives.

To honor this milestone and show support for the cause, GHSP is asking North Carolinians to get out their cell phone cameras, snap a self-portrait of them buckled up while parked and share it on social media, using the hashtag, "#SafetySelfie."

"As the state that started "Click It or Ticket" two decades ago, we're known for finding unique ways to encourage people to fasten their seat belts," said Don Nail, interim director of GHSP. “The ‘#SafetySelfie’ is just one more example of our innovative approach to changing motorists' behavior for the better. By harnessing the power of social media, we hope to convince the small percentage of people who aren't buckling their seat belts that it's the right thing to do."
