They were charging the track hoe batteries with the truck and all of a sudden the truck was flying in reverse, cables flying. He looked up and thought what the f#&K is going on. He looked at the guy and his first impression was a tow truck driver. He could not figure out why they would be moving his truck. The next thing he knew the guy put it in drive and peeled out down the street. He stopped a couple blocks down jumped out slammed the hood and peeled out again! The police said its probably gone for good. These guys sound like they knew what they were doing. He is waiting to here back from the detectives today or tomorrow.

That really really sucks, hope they find the bast$$$ and give your dad 5 minutes with him. I can't stand people like that. aaarrggghhh...

Yea, My dad said that he should have gone after him, but the police said they are not just some crackheads stealin cars, they have a plan B. If you would have gotten in the way they probably would have pointed it at your head.
BTW: My dad lives in south Florida, so that doesn't help.

We got unpacked right away, I didn't unhook untill about 7:30 though, needed a rest after the weekend. I missed the roast, how was it? I heard bits and pieces this AM on KQ.

WOW, that is pretty ballsy of the scum. Too bad they will probably never find it, or the worthless &%#(&@ that stole it

That looks like a nice camper Mike.

The roast was pretty funny. Dang, Lee thinks we pick on him. That's nothing compared to those guys. I was laughing almost as much as I was Friday night

Yeah, the pics look good Jay. It's been listed before. I've seen it as high as $9000 when it was first posted 2 months ago.

I'll have to see when it is on again and DVR it. Those roasts are usually pretty good.

Probably not going to look at this one, but had to post the link just for the title, LOL
