Talking Stolen Truck FOUND

You all know my truck was stolen a week ago. It was found in New Orleans Louisiana. Police said its in Good Condition. I haven't seen it nor do I know if the motor or other parts are missing. What should I should I be most concerned about? Insurance has moved it to there repair facility of choice but I look them up and they are a restoration/mechnical shop. I think I need to get in the hands of some good diesel techs. Wish me the best!

The first thing I would do is to read the info in the computers.

Glad to hear you look like you got lucky.


If you know LoJack... that is one technology.

Another implementation I have seen is a system where a cell phone is used to disable the vehicle or to put it in limp mode.

Onstar have that capability.

Somebody wanted to be at the New Orleans oyster festival, so they took your truck. Glad you got news, now I wonder what Good Condition and repair facility have in store for you.

Nah, they just wanted an oil burner so they could dip it outta the gulf, throw it in the tank, and keep on gettin up.
