Default My truck broken into last night

Yea.... all my tools I carry in the back.. gone.
Radio destroyed. Tying to steal it. They only got the face plate. Luckily no dash damage. They even took my cheap 5 dollar phone charger. Jerks.

Looks like they used a slim jim on the passenger rear door. Weatherstripping pulled up.

I freaking hate people. I've been fuming all day. I had to go to sears and blow 350 bucks to replace what I lost. My stupid fault for leaving it in there. I guess now I have to completely remove everything of value when I come home off a trail. I live in a nice neighborhood too. Go figure.

That sucks man. Somebody ganked the GPS out of my D1 when I left it unlocked one night. Fortunately they missed all my tools and recovery gear in the back.

I'm gonna check local pawn shops for my tool bag. Sucks, there was a lot of tools in there. IR thermometer. Snap On multimeter. Tons of sockets and wrenches. A lot of the stuff I've had since high school. I hope they get chronic diarrhea.

Also check your local Craigslist tools section. Alot of thieves return to the scene of the crime, might be able to catch em if you bait em. Did you contact your sheriffs office to come out and dust for prints? File a report.

Also try Ebay it's a regular sales place for used stolen goods.

"What goes around comes around" as they say. I hate thieving low life far too many around.
