YOU WARNED ME.... I DIDN'T LISTEN. I was going to buy a club or an autolock or one of those cheesy anti-theft devices but I didn't get around to it YET. Busy weekend trying to find a place to live and organizing my GF moving out from NJ.... so today was my first day of work. 9am-5:30pm, went out for lunch with my new boss and when I came back from lunch it was still there, 5:30pm... IT'S GONE. And the office complex didn't tow me....

I have $4500 into that truck not counting my prescription eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses that these thugs couldn't even have a use for. I don't even know if I should hope they never find it or do find it... if they find it it'll probably have a blown tranny, blown turbo and all the wiring ripped out from my nice radios and all the other crap I worked so hard for... Me and charlie anderson from Greasel.com were about to do a custom veg oil conversion on it too... I just registered this truck on Saturday... if you see this truck, call the police please.

Patrick Campbell

It'll turn up sooner or later.... collect all the pictures and recipts you have of the truck and all the after market goodies. the base truck will be covered by insurance, it's the rest of the goodies you need to prove you had.
good luck, I hope it is a short wait.....

Awwww man, that sucks.

I will be on the lookout , hopefully they find it soon.

whazzup

I too will watch, but Im probably 180* off of the thieves intended course.

That really sucks. Man what a friendly welcome to a new town. You know they use to hang horse thieves in the west. I think we need to reimplement that practice.

Good luck

CTD's are a hot item in Phoenix. Mine was broken into while I was over there racing this spring. I removed a number of the relays when I'm in that area so the truck would have had to have been towed away. I also have a customer that I had to install a new door handle on his CTD. He was at a restaurant in the Phoenix area and someone tried to break into his truck. The police told him that they are dissappearing on a regular basis. News story not too long ago found tons of stolen cars on the indian reservations surrounding the Phoenix area. Most of them stripped.

Patrick,

Remember a little good comes from everything....

I have now convinced my lovely wife that I NEED a new alarm with remote start.

Sorry again for your loss. Keep us posted.

Patrick Campbell

Thanks guys!

Dang Overkill, I am sorry to hear that. I know what a sinking feeling it is to know where you left your truck and see it's not there anymore. Phoenix police won't be much help. The good news is that AZ DPS does run a task force on I-10 which is pretty much the pipeline for stolen vehicles out of Phoenix. When mine was stolen 3 weeks ago, it took 3 days before they were taking it down to Nogales. The thieves sell them in Nogales to the Coyotes (Illegal Alien Runners) who use them for 2 or 3 trips across the open desert filled to the brim with illegals. After the truck breaks down, they will usually abandon it there. That is why they love the diesels. You get more trips out of them.

There are close to 40,000 vehicles stolen in this town every year and the big trucks are their favorites. It is amazing to me that 1 out of every 20 vehicles in this city is stolen in a 12 month period. As you are finding out, everyone has a stolen vehicle story. Unfortunately, the police have become very uninterested in chasing down the culprits.

Pray that the truck is stopped between Phoenix and Tucson. The DPS REALLY have their eyes open for hippies driving nice trucks. (That is how they found mine.) If it makes it to Nogales, you probably won't want it back.

Good grief!! I'm driving out to Phoenix in a couple of weeks with the expectation of enjoying the area. Now, I'm gonna be worried sick the whole time.

Patrick Campbell

Well I just ordered the club AND the autolock. I'll be using them both all the time now I guess. Yeah they are both totally cheesy but what can you do. Whether I get a new truck or get mine back, I'll also install a kill switch.

BTW, I got an 05 Cummins Ram as a rental truck costing me $6/day. Thank you so far progressive.

Tfeore

Nice rental anyway.

I cannot believe how many Silver Rams there are. My heart must have jumped 15 times today. I'd look and there'd be another. None with ALT Fuel plates though. How'd you get that anyway, you runnin' propane?
