3:34pm: called 911
4:00pm: I take my ex's car into that "hood" to look for #180
4:30pm: cops finally arrive
5:30pm: all the F'ing paperwork is filled out and the cops are on the lookout
6:30pm: go for another cruise, this time to the REALLY bad parts (no luck)

10:30pm: Parents call me to tell me that the Philly police have the truck impounded. The stereo is gone, but "supposedly" everything else is intact. Well find out tomorrow afternoon when I go and pick it up. ::fingers crossed::

Thanks again everyone, you're all awesome in my book.

Hopefully it is just the stereo, or you can end up doing something cool with it if it is more...

I am SO relieved that you got it back...PLEASE take some pictures of it...i am curious how intact she really is, considering it was stolen with an ignition kill on. sorry to hear about the stereo, it was weak as shit anyway :D j/k

Glad the hunt is over and best of luck looking her over tomorrow.

Morgan, glad to hear its back (found) so quick. Hopefully its just the stereo & steering column damage (they need to defeat the steering lock to turn the wheel). Rebuilding the column is a piece of cake (if you have done them before). With no disrespect to you Morgan, just some advice from experience (16 years worth). If someone hears your stereo while you are at a traffic light, they know you have something. If they want it, they will follow you around. Learn where you live/visit/hang out. They will learn your schedule. They will steal your vehicle and take your stuff or at the minimum (depends on where it is parked, what time it is ect...) break in and take your stuff. An experienced thief can be gone with most GM cars in a matter of minutes with minimal hassle. Believe me, I jamb the tunes (and sing quite loudly) but always turn it down at traffic lights. It's not foolproof, but it seems to help. BTW, I'm an Insurance Appraiser. I write damage estimates and do investigations on stolen vehicles (as well as just about anything that gets damaged). I state the aforementioned opinion based on my experience and information obtained from various police departments and investigators. Do not wish this type of stuff to happen to anyone, but shit happens.

TOO bad the cops won't lift the prints off it. I guess they don't understand how important these are to us. Be nice to catch them and hang them from a tall tree. They used to hang horse thieves, What's the difference? :evil:
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I know some of you have to be electrical engineers. I want a system that sends about 50,000 volts through their thieving bodies. Or emits a untraceable poisonous gas after they close the door. :evil:
I value my truck more than some fucking assholes life!

<rant mode off>

Congrats on getting it back!!!!!

BTW, didn't somebody post here recently about his TY being broken into. He had an alarm that had a pager to notify him that something was going on with his truck. Sounds like the alarm to have (especially if you carry).

well, a sigh of relief to say the least. Morgan Im glad they found it, again, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.


and wiring your truck to send a shock to anyone that touches the steeringwheel, will do more damage than good if its even possible, the frame of your truck is a ground, wiring it with a positive to carry a charge would be quite the pain.

Sorry to hear about your Ty! I hope that all they got was the stereo, and didn't mess up too much. Good luck and keep us posted.

this really bothers me, what can we do to safegaurd. can we hardwire the fuel pump to a remote switch,and the started to a remote switch, both connected to one switch, a master kill switch. or does this not work...any sugggestions?
 
You guys ever think of pulling out the fuse for the fuel pump, my friend does that with hes rx-7 ever since he saw someone trying to steal it. Just an idea.
