So we will rebuild!! This time we are going to build a trailer that we can secure in the backyard. F$&k whoever stole our truck, stripped off the tent, front roof rack and cleared out the cab.

Only been in this house for a month too, anyone in spokane or surrounding area sees a tuff stuff tent with gorilla tape on one corner see if you can get a plate number or pic. This dude belongs in jail.

I am of the camp that would agree with the off with the hands. Only I would say both hands so they don't get a second chance to steal again.

You could set up a proximity fuse type thing on your gas tanks, more than 20 ft from your truck and they go up in flames.

Just reinforces the idea that anything extra mounted to your vehicle in plain sight is like dangling a lollipop in front of a child. Thieves notice it immediately and sadly more times than not it ends up departing your rig.

That seriously sucks. Best wishes for getting up and running soon. There are always sleazeballs around looking to take what's not theirs. My old ZJ has an eccentricity in the alarm system where the alarm will go off when I unlock it with a key after the latch button has been pushed. It went off this weekend while I was at my Son's house so evidently someone had been just going down the street checking doors to see if any were unlocked.

He may be old but theres alot of sentimental reasons we love him. And alot of brand new under the hood, so yeah, the other stuff was just stuff. Id be devastated if we lost Chuck.

Man do I hate that happened. I'm not sure what I hate worse a thief or a lier but now I think the thief comes out on top.

I hope he/she/it gets caught.

I just saw this. Sorry to hear that. I will keep an eye out. I travel all over Spokompton pretty much everyday. Watch the surrounding areas on Craigslist also.
Do you have a trailer you're planning on building?

Sorry this happened to you. When you're ready, maybe post a list of stuff you need. I've seen the generosity of this forum's members in that thread "paying it forward". If there's an instance where that applies, it's right now with you. I might have some things I can offer up as well. Either way, keep us posted. Best wishes.
