    I'm sorry to hear about that. Just met some old chinese guy last week who had his stock 80' stolen. When he saw me in my 79' you could see the look on his face...

    I felt so bad for the guy.

    He kept asking me why would they steal such a simple little truck?

    We, here, know why. But this guy owned it since he drove it off the dealer lot and really isn't "in the loop" on things, the last thing he expected was for someone to want to take his old truck.

    Anyhow, after seeing the look on that guy's face I can only imagine what it would do to me to see any of my vehicles disappear. I know how much work you put into that thing....

    Prayers and best wishes, bro.

    Don't kill him when you find him, just quietly hurt him.

    Ive never had my truck stolen or any of my parents cars stolen before, but I have had my dirtbike stolen. Even though it was only stolen for like 5 hours before I got it back it changed my mind on everybody in the world. It makes you feel horrible. You put so much time money and energy into something just to see someone take it away it SUCKS!... I worry about my truck getting stolen all the time when its running and if not at least my rims getting stolen... hope ya get it back man...give that clown what he deserves:brickknock:

    I feel for ya, If its any consilation I,ve had 2 stolen, the first a really nice 87 SR5 Xcab 4x4 fully loaded, straight as an arrow, had a new EFI rebuilt engine, clutch, brand new less than a week old tires and wheels, about 1500 bucks worth, plus all the personal belongings including a new diamond rock saw blade about 800 bucks worth, never seen it again, and found out later the local law never even attempted to look for it. Only had liability insurance so was a total loss.
    The second an 86 SR5 4runner, was at the Oregon coast for the weekend and they stole it out of the motel parking lot, they did find it later that day about 10 miles out of town sitting along the road with the doors open, stereo ripped out of the dash, front windshield shattered, clutch burnt out of it, all the personal belongings inside gone, did have theft insurance but they would only cover the window and clutch after an act of congress to prove the clutch and windshield were good before the theft, as for the rest of the stuff tough s&*t, not covered. So yeah!! I know how ya feel :cry:

    truth be told, it was one of the very few times i didnt have it disabled. but there was no ignition switch in the truck. i found both of my switches, one where i kinda thought it was, and one i thought was in my truck but was in a "junk bag" i had when i cleaned my truck.

    i actually think my truck may have fought back. need a special trick to open the hood, they broke my grill. and the rad fluid is gone. i know it sounds bad but ive put 2xrs through worse then this eng looks like it had.

    either way im glad its back. even worse for wear....


    its not like i let a friend drive it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHPPIfqTp10&feature=channel_page
