  “Any time we can get back somebody’s vehicle that’s been stolen, that’s a win for us.”
  He added, “We would treat it no differently if it was someone’s F-150 versus a
  Lamborghini.”
Why do they even bother lying like that?

I don’t think it’s a lie. An F-150 is only 3 times cheaper than a Lambo, and there are thousands more F150s around, they can’t afford to be cavalier about recovering them.

My first thought was that it's a tautological statement: people are spending not that far from 100k on some F-150s

A better example would have been someone's used, beat-up Corolla, but then the truthfulness would be a little slipperier...
