The RBB discribes the Bulldog as "a standard, reliable delivery truck" and
goes on to say "All the major delivery services...use them". So I would say
that the number is in the ten's of thousands nationwide. And if you were to
paint your truck in the same livery as one of the large parcel delivery or
diaper services in your area of operations, the truck would disapear in plan
site. If you copied a 24 hour service it would work at night too. And even if
you are spotted getting away, the discription would fit a lot of other vehicles
on the road.

This method works almost as well as painting your get-away car bright yellow.
