Re: Stolen Truck

I really get tired of hearing about this happening. I'm a little north of Sac, but you never know what or where. How'd they get his credit card # by stealing his truck? Have a plate number?

Re: Stolen Truck

As if the people of Paradise haven't had enough problems. Now people want to come in and steal from him. I hope they find it....

Re: Stolen Truck

Thieves should be burned at the stake. That might make them rethink they're worthless existence.

I might run for president in 2024. Making the prison system something you'd never want to return to is in my top ten things to fix. Those people have it better than 40% of law abiding Americans. Not right. Either is stealing a guys truck!

Re: Stolen Truck

Great pics of the POS! I hope to hell they identify who this is and you're able to get your truck back.

Don't give up hope. I had our '62 Corvette stolen in Monterey (2013), and we were able to get it back 13 days later.

Keep this jack azzes picture going strong.

If you happen to know direction of travel please let us know up here in Oregon. Where I come from they don't last too long around here.

Track him, tell the police to let the credit card companies as a tool to track him. Another words let him spend his way into jail.

Re: Stolen Truck

Hope the truck is recovered intact. I'd say I hope the guy is caught but let's face it, there is a 99.99999% he's a dope head with a list of warrants and arrests longer than my leg. He would be back on the street before you get the truck washed and cleaned up. Hate to say it but doping and stealing seem to be becoming less and less important an issue to correct in our country. Of course the people saying it shouldn't be punished are either dopers or politicians living with security that makes them not worry about it.

Re: Stolen Truck

Obviously they "THINK" they are bad. Well you know what our President does to bad people. Bad things happen to Bad people.

There is more of us good people that there is of them. Stay on them. Lets see some more posts, keep this going.

If that area is the pucker brush, they most likely took it for one or two reasons, either a chop shop or a joy ride.

Neither is good of course. Friend had his property broken into by a neighbor and crime ring...they took a car or two. Did not touch any guns because they knew it turns Federal at that point.

Fast forward an autobody shop had some containers out back and an undercover acting as a customer popped in. The Cop identified a bumper sticker and then came back with a warrant. He could only see just the sticker and it stood out as a key to get a warrant.

What else makes this truck unique other than the wheels? More pics please, we will all try to help out. I have seen a few recoveries not solely due to this website but the more you post them up the better the chances.

Re: Stolen Truck

These tweaker $h1t bags may still be driving it. I had a 68 GTO stolen 15 years ago. They painted it with 5 or 6 different colors of multi color spatter paint. And in the 10 days they had it put over 1200 miles on it. But the time it was recovered in a meth house raidd the brakes were completely shot and it was out of gas.
I had been told by someone the car had been seen in Vancouver so I called the Vancouver sheriff's office that the car had been seen in the area. Several night later I got a call at midnight asking if I could ID a car found in a raid. Sure enough it was mine and the sheriff said if I could drive it away right then they wouldn't have to tow it and I wouldn't have to pay the towing to get the car back. I jumped in the car and if fired up. So I idled away to the nearest gas station. It was a long trip home with metal to metal brakes.
I would suggest talking with the local sheriff wherever you may hear the truck has been seen. It keeps them aware the truck hasn't been stripped.

Good luck!
