Damn that sux. I hope you find it and the bastards who took it.

[MaxHarvard]

Ahhh dude that's weak!!

Good luck getting it back :(

Wait a minute...this is the truck with the 5.3 in it, right? This sucks.

I have never hot wired any vehicle, but what is the difference between hot wiring a standard Chevy 350 vs a LS motor? I ask this question because wouldn't a thieve look at the truck and think it has an old school carb motor vs a computer controlled fuel injected motor? You may want to look at some people who knew the truck, and where you parked it at night.

I hope you get it back in one piece.

That sucks. Sorry to hear. Good luck.
I really, really despise thieves!:mad:

YES, this is the truck that had all 2001 drivetrain in it... so who knows how far they drove it. thats why im posting it on a big forum like this.

im sick right now.... i only had liability on it and no comp. so im out all around. :(

Sorry to read that. A few of my vehicles have been stolen, so I know how you feel. Believe it or not, I've heard of people catching the criminals by posting want ads for vehicles and/or parts that were on it on Craigs list. A buddys store was burglarized and the stuff showed up on Ebay a month later. Might be worth a shot to use those venues.

In my (many) experiences the Police do not make any attempt to "solve" theft crimes or recover lost items. You're simply a case # and file. A detective might call once to see if you've found anything. Police departments are overloaded so they concentrate on cases with physical injury or weapons involved. Property loss is low priority.

Call every impound and junkyard within 50 miles. You'd think they'd be connected with the police, but not always the case. My Suburban, 24' enclosed with 66 Mustang in it were stolen in Atlanta. The police had no news when I called daily, yet, I got a letter in the mail from a towing company in the next town a week later. The rig had been dumped (stripped of course) the morning after it was stolen and then towed for blocking a driveway, then sat in the lot for a week. $2,000.00 in towing and storage charges later I got it back (no comp either). The Police never did contact me to tell me it was recovered.

Sorry dude! I hate THIEVES!!!!!!!!!

[Shmoov69]

That sucks Blake!! It's prolly cause you live in that crime infested town!! Heck, just right down the road from the #1...St Loius!!

I'll keep an eye out

This is one of those instances where it would be good if Lat-G had a direct Facebook link

So sorry to hear that! I agree, keep an eye on ebay, craig's list, and some of the local classifieds. These things are often taken by idiots and they turn up somehow. Last year a guy out here in Utah got his truck broken into while his wallet, tools, etc. were in it. It wasn't long before one trail led to another and they caught the thieves with a house full of stolen items. Hope you have the same luck.

It could be one of your friends is in kahoots with Chip Foose and the A team. Maybe they're filming a reunion epsisode of Overhaulin, and right now it is completely being redone. Just be sure and act surprised. :thumbsup:

Sorry, couldn't resist, good luck with the search,

[Steve68]

Lock up your stuff!!!

Hope you find it!!!

My mom lost all her presents for my family, she had them in the back of a Explorer covered up with a blanket, it hadnt moved, so they saw a oppertunity, it sucks!!

Cops say it happening all over the country, lock up your stuff and keep the garage door closed, mine looks like a shop, my 68 and tools every where, of coarse there cleaned up,

[417 Motorsports]

well i got report friday that the truck was still seen in springfield mo (local) as of tuesday...

I drove around town all day sat looking in back yards and open garages... It kills me to know some dirt back is drivin her around.



on a side note, this may be something to consider for all of us from now on. Its cheap and reliable tracking if something like this was to happen.

I stumbled across this FREE application http://www.mologogo.com/that you can download and install on MANY cheap prepaid phones, that once you power the phone on, it can be tracked from your home computer via the internet.

Pretty neat stuff; and a great way to protect your car from theft for $30-40.

Just buy a trac-phone, wire a 12v charger into your cars interior, install the app and hide the cheap phone somewhere. Car comes up missing, boot up the computer, grab the gun and get to it!
