You don’t fit. Go to your own garage. You are several feet too long.

That’s not a loophole. If the truck wasn’t driven to this movie theater for work purposes, then it wasn’t driven for work purposes.
Its same as business owners writing things like toilet paper for their house off as a business expense. Its almost impossible to enforce. He could pop into a dollar store, buy a pack of zip ties, and claim they are for work and justifies using the work truck.
It’s a myth that you can write anything off as a business expense and the IRS can’t do anything about it.
See you say that, yet many people get away with it all the time because it isn’t enforced. It is illegal, but no one is chasing it down. Work from home/business located on the same property? People get their water systems serviced and installed under their company name as a “business expense” even if 90-99% of the water use is personal. Same with gas in the work truck even if you brought the kids to soccer after school in it etc etc. If it isn’t enforced, it isn’t a myth. The IRS CAN do something about, but only once you frauded enough to be worth their time.
Just because you can think of ways out of enforcement doesn’t mean all enforcement is impossible. If there’s a plumbing truck parked at the movie theater, management is going to damn well know if plumbing work is occurring. I know it makes us feel smart to think of loopholes but we don’t need airtight enforcement in order for a law to make sense. There are tons of laws on the books that aren’t actively and exhaustively enforced, and they exist to give authority to those who would take action in situations where they can.
