Truck Stolen

TheDude - Sorry to hear of your lost, it is way to common of a problem. The good news going by FBI statistics, better today than 20 years ago. I have had more the 8 cars/trucks stolen dating back to the 70's. All but one were recovered within a week. The only common denominator in all 8 cars/trucks? Having a car someone wanted more than me (apparently) and a value worth stealing. My first car was supper nice 72 Camaro. Going to college in Memphis, out at a nightclub with friends, close the place, go to get car (gone). Took the Memphis police 11+ hours (2am until noon) to just file a report? Two weeks later, detective called to say found your car (stripped clean). I wanted to see it and recover contents, go to police impound yard, car is literally covered with finger print dust? Fifteen years later I get a call at my job from another detective, from Milwaukee (I never been there), wanted to know about a class ring? My H.S. class ring was found in possession of a known auto theft suspect. My ring was a special ring, for basketball championship, had my initials and basketball teams record engraved on inside of ring, team mascot on one side of stone and my jersy number on other side. Detective did his job, he said it took him sometime checking high schools with same mascot and basketball teams with a 37-1 record. Found one in Arkansas, found newspaper articles with pictures. He knew his locked up suspect, wasn't the same big white boy in those news articles. Only thing I recovered from that first car.



Again sorry for your loss.
