Hey, just found out a friend's 73 Ford F250 4x4 got stolen about 45 minutes ago. It's brown, and has the ******** things hanging down from the receiver hitch. If anyone sees it, please call the Denver police immediately. Thanks guys.

Thanks, I didnt' know there was a Colorado chapter on here.

 

I had a truck get stolen a couple years ago. The law in CO says they can't chase a vehicle if they know its stolen. The thief had changed the plates so any news of them spotting it never got back to me. They found it when the thief had been "lit up" by the cops because he had smashed the back of the truck and had a tail light out. Of course he ran and the cops couldn't chase him but they stayed on the trail and found the truck against a tree. Thief had fried the clutch and bailed. They told me that in the two weeks he had my truck he had been chased at least 3 times. It took him wrecking the truck for them to get it back. They did eventually catch him though, only because his x-gf turned him in.

Without making this a longer story, the guy was a methhead and there were several other people involved in a string of car thefts. So if your friend had anything of value (stereo, tools, etc) in the truck, check the pawn shops around. Check for the truck in parking lots of crappy motels and apartment complexes. I found out they had been at 2 different places within a couple miles of me. I hope he finds it.

 

i feel for him theres not a more sickening feeling than going out to your drive way and "ITS GONE" hope it gets found with out damage

 

Just to let everyone know that my friend got his truck back about 3:00 this afternoon. The thief tore the **** out of the dash, so the wiring is all messed up, so we may be asking for some wiring advice.

 

Great news!

The thief get away?

 

Gut the thief like he gutted the dash!

 

Here is a site for wiring diagrams that I got from someone else on this forum. Of course it doesn't have the year you need but it still could help.
