Stolen...Mesa, AZ

Last night sometime, my truck was stolen out of the drive way. Anyone here in the AZ area, keep your eyes open for it. These are the two most current pics of the truck. Purchased the truck 10years ago yesterday. 222,953 miles. Sad, very frustrating morning so far.

I'm gonna link this thread in the Az Chapter to get more eyes on it. Can't imagine how you feel right now, Tom...you've poured a lot of yourself into that truck over the years.

Sorry to hear that. That looks like it would be a easily seen truck. Hope they find it in one piece.

I'm thinking the same. Already across the border. Had a quarter tank of fuel in it...so, about 150miles before having to fuel up again. Sucks, we are in a gated community too.

Have some good news....truck found!!!! Went North instead of across the border to the South. Scottsdale police dept. is processing the truck right now. They told me my tools for work are still in it....crazy. There is body damage on the driver side though. Will update with pics.

Tom,

Was reading this thread trying to think of something to say. I know how you feel, and how much time we pour into these trucks. So glad its back and I hope the damage is minimal and insurance treats you right...

Just curious, did you have any form of security measures in place to prevent theft? I use multiple levels of theft protection so I am always interested in what others may have been using when their vehicle is taken.
