    Sorry i didnt know where to post this here. But i figured maybe you guys could help. Some ******* stole my truck while i was taking my son to the zoo. Stole his car seat and a all. It was a good truck. If you see this truck or have seen it please contact me at 253-666-3050. Has Fort Lewis sticker on front windshield, truck is slammed (lowered), Calvary sticker on the rear windshield, TRD sticker on windshield, 5% tint all around, amber high beams, and Enkie 92's black, passenger side of the bed was primered grey and partially black, as well as the tailgate was primered grey. This was my main mode of transportation and the only reliable car my family had. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Thats complete BS! I can't imagine someone taking my little Toyota and would be 10 shades of P!ssed off!!!

    I would think with this forum and the folks out there, that you stand a better chance than not of someone seeing it OR it showing up later somehow on a forum! I hope you had Vin #s and such somewhere. Hang in there and this just goes to show that there are a bunch of sh!t heads out there. Remember, criminals are DUMB, no literally, they have ZERO common sense skills and they all get caught. Its just a matter of time! I wish I lived up in that area, I would be of more help. I have many resources but none up there...

    Hang in there!

    That sucks bro. That's why I always have a safety kill switch for the fuel pump hiding somewhere. And when I'm parking somewhere questionable then I flip that switch. Just another safety feature. I hope you catch these sh!theads! :mad:

    I have a battery, fuel and switch box kill switch all hidden all used everytime I park ANYWHERE ever since my truck was taken from me. I know how it feels man, fortunately I dont know how it feels to not get it back or to get it back jacked up so I really hope you dont have to go through that either.
    Best of luck in your search, I would keep my eyes peeled on surrounding area craigslist and sale sites for atleast the next few months or till you get it back. Ive heard Seattle/Tacoma area is really bad for auto theft

    Thanks for your support guys. So far no luck. Saved up enough money (barely) to get a 72 hilux in *mint condition from a body shop.

    Dude that it totally sweet! Get that other truck (because he has the most toyotas in the end, wins!) and of course those kill options that everyone is talking about!!!! As soon as I get the Mrs. settled in our new home I am going back to work on my rig to install those same devices. As for now the truck is snug as a bug in the garage! I am totally psyched for you though! And like i said, criminals are retards! Who takes the distributor when there is a weber sitting right there?!?!?!?!? FREAKING RETARDS!!!!

    CHEERS!

    Right on man, always good to see things recovered. Im super stoked to hear thats all they took, musta not known what was what! Seems funny theyd steal a truck just for a cd player and coil when it takes about 2 minutes to remove both. Glad you got it back

    Thanks guys for the support! The tow truck driver who recovered it said it was the best he's ever seen recovered for a stolen truck. Especially for 2 weeks missing. I just need to find an ignitor now because the ignition coil and ignitor was stolen (wtf) lol. Thats the hard part. And ill soon be getting that 72 hilux. Keep truckin!!!

    Glad you got your ride back, bro ... I know the feeling of having something stolen ... NOT GOOD ... I have Medco ignitions (pick and removal proof) and Lojack location systems installed in and on all of my vehicles ... Best investment i've ever made ... :cool:
