Description
A group of people is loading items into the bed of a green pickup truck parked in a driveway outside a one-story house with light siding. One person operates a red hand truck, while another appears to be part of a local news crew recording the scene with a shoulder-mounted video camera. The gate in the foreground displays a hand-painted sign that reads "4 SALE BUY 1 GET 1 FREE."
