AR Was Stolen From Truck

[karder]

That happened to one of the guys I work with. His GMC had the passenger side lock punched out and he did not even notice. His phone and laptop were taken. He did not notice the laptop was gone and thought he had lost his phone. The next day an officer arrived at work and had his phone and laptop! It seems that the crooks punched the wrong lock and a cop saw them and nailed him and recovered my friends stolen stuff before he even knew it was gone. Talk about lucky.

I'm sure you were sick when you discovered the thievery, I know I would be. I notice you live in Spring and so do I. Did this take place in Spring?

Listings for guns don't last very long on Craigslist since they're one of the many 'prohibited' items to sell there, but it won't hurt to check.

I was at Lupe Tortilla at 249 and Spring Cypress

One of my good friends had his full-sized HK USP .40 stolen out of the locked center console of his pickup truck during church services a few months back.......at our church in Grapevine, in a low-crime area, parked where there is both foot and slow moving vehicle traffic often even during services, and parking attendants. The thieves also stole his jacket.

His truck is a F150, about 2 years old.

My buddy just sent me this link about a colleague's of his Ford was stolen last n ight. It took 75 seconds. SEVENTY FIVE & that was with him taking his time.

That's with about 30 seconds of alarm/lights.

This also makes me think about the quality of camera I get installed because this video is next to useless on identifying the thief.

Unbelievable that it's just that easy.

I'm also of the belief that the thief had one of those 'master keys' that will start any Ford. If you notice, he doesn't do anything violent with the ignition. Just starts it up, rolls away.

Sorry for your loss... thieves suck.

I used to daily drive a Jeep Wrangler - the motto of my fellow Jeepers was this: it's the easiest vehicle to get into, take anything of value with you. I still adhere to that to this day as much as possible.

Sorry for your loss by scumbags, best wishes for full recovery.

As an aside, WRT stealing a vehicle, when I had an '89 5.0 Mustang you could easily reach under the seat and pull the fuel pump relay. The only way that it was moving if it was towed. I've known some folks to install a hidden kill switch under the dash to do the same thing. However a scumbag with a repo wrecker can still snag it - years ago I had a nice car hauler with a fancy hitch lock but that didn't stop said scumbag from chaining up to it and stealing it. The cops caught him a few miles down the road though. I got it back, although he tried to get it out of the impound lot after he bonded out (I didn't even know it was gone, it was in the storage area of my apartment complex, many moons ago, cops stopped him due to no lights on trailer, his story didn't add up, now I have things in my garage/enclosure, still no guarantees though. Trailer, race car and contents/spares are insured for agreed value).
