Wonder why we haven't heard from the O.P.?

 

He can unsubscribe, but when he goes to the main page it will still be there with the new posts and he will still want to click it because he just has to know .

 

update:

No truck, police could care less, insurance just paid off the claim.

One problem...you get the taxes, but if you had a trade when you bought the truck your taxes are less than when you have to buy the replacement truck with no trade.

 

Thanks for reporting back. I suppose we will never find out if they found the key or by passed the ignition.

 

Have read several reports and have seen several youtube vids. showing how it is done these days.

Bad guys can get, and apparently fairly easily, electronic devices that act as universal remotes. They can and do just press a bottom and they can unlock and start virtually ANY vehicle made just as easily as the owner, even the RFID starters. (I don't know if there is a universal key or of they just pull the ignition switch on the keyed models like the old days, but apparently it isn't difficult.)
A tow truck for theft is outdated technology.

Check it out on the net or youtube for yourselves. We live in an electronic world guys and girls, and the crooks can easily exploit it. They probably will eventually steal credit numbers and person IDs from places like say Target. Oh wait........

 

I will have to disagree with you there. I don't think the police could care less!

 

The police may not care, depending on where it happened. I know in Baltimore, MD my in-law's minivan was stolen. Someone took it and drove it until it ran out of gas. A few days later the police called them and told them they found it blocking a street and to bring a 5 gal can of gas. They asked the police if they dusted it for fingerprints, or are going to do an investigation. The cop told them this happens all the time and they don't have time to do any type of investigation on stolen cars. He gave them a basic report to give to their insurance company if they were going to claim any damage.

Does that sound like the police really care?


Another story for you guys that don't know how city police operate.

A lady I work with was parked on the street. While she was out a guy in a work van backed into her car causing $1750 damage. Her neighbor saw the accident and took a picture of the van with her phone and called the police. Well until the police got there the guy left. She showed the picture to the cop, and the cop said that since she didn't have a picture of the license plate they didn't have enough evidence to go on. Come on, she had a picture of the van with the company name on the side of it.

I am sure there are a lot of great cops out there that would care, but not so much in Baltimore City.

 

It's not just Baltimore, it's everywhere. Police used to be here to protect and serve now they couldn't care less about anything that doesn't involve them giving tickets and making money.

My wife had a situation just like you described too. A work van ran into our car and she wrote down the tag number, business name, etc, as the guy sped off. She reported it to the police and they told her they didn't care about a hit and run, no way to find the guy, etc. So my wife tracked the guy down herself, blocked him in at a job and called his boss. After seeing the damage they agreed to pay for it. The cops were pretty useless, but at least it got taken care of.

 

So, is it safe to say they won't find the Creedance tapes?

 

I apologize for my last post. There are a lot of fine men and women on our police forces that do care. They just can't do their jobs because of "the system". Change needs to come from the top down, but it clearly does not.

"nuff said.
