Damn so sorry to hear that. Such a crappy way to begin your time here in Oregon. Lousy flipping thieves. So glad you got your car back. Bummer on you loosing all your personal stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . At least no one was hurt through this physically. The emotional toll on losing your personal stuff will be tough I am sure. Please let me know if I can do anything. I can be down with an Excursion to haul the trailer up tomorrow if need be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Wow! So glad to hear that this came a quick conclusion and that you still have most of your stuff. Hopefully they will find the thieves and exact justice on them.

Steve- any home depot or Lowes will have ratcheting tiedowns. They wont go over the tires but they are heavy duty and work very well at an affordable price.

So glad to hear that there is a good outcome on the car. I know how much effort you've put into it. I'm bummed that the truck was empty, but thankful that you are okay and that you had good support.

Welcome to the Ghetto-ass desert that I call 'home'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Barstow PD ought to be good at catching theivin' pricks. They get an awful lot of practice. And no surprise at all that the thieves took sanctuary in Apple Valley (right next door to where I live). Sorry for your losses. Hopefully the low-lifes who did this get exactly what's coming to them... an aids infection from their heroine needle. I can't believe they actually cut the tiedowns. That had to take longer than simply loosening them. Criminals are effin dumb!
Sorry again. I hope your insurance makes this process easy on you, and you can leave this incident behind. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

. . . . . the car would not start because of a fuel pump electrical that went bad while loading it. It appears the car was expecting something like this to happen.


I believe it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) The car loves you.

Unfortunately it is a good wake up call for all of us, our cars to the unknowing look very valuable due to the care and attention we put into them. Really glad to hear a lot of the positive things that happened, sorry for the loss of the stuff in your truck. I try hard not to hate, but thieves really piss me off.

I ordered a battery cutoff switch last night, now I'm worried about leaving mine in hotel parking lots while on my trip....damn thieves (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

Glad you found your car....hopefully the rest will get resolved, but you can't replace some things...but people like that just don't get it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) GET A JOB!

Glad the car is recovered & hopefully the Scum are dumb enough to do something that results in your other property being found.

I can understand them cutting the Tie-Downs - until you get used to them (& even then), they are a Pain in the Ass.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments. It does make a difference. I will go to Home Depot or Loewe's for the Come-A-Longs, heavy tie down straps, etc. Once I get the truck and the tie downs, I will be on my way to Oregon.

We have never had any major thefts like this one; it only lets one know how close we all are to having major trauma events and happenings. I will drive and the car through So-Cal to Flagstaff, and then back to Ventura where I bought it; then up through Nor-Cal where I spent sixty plus years.

The events got my focus and now I will accomplish the car completeness and drive. Those "lazy and weak minded" people who took our items will not defeat the purpose of the car - creating traveling enjoyment to our friends of cancer.

Thanks for your thoughts and comments.

Steve

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I had to change all my passwords and account # when my laptop was stolen from my home. You should put an alert on your credit files.

"An initial security alert can be immediately added to your credit file. This alerts creditors to confirm your identity before extending credit. Once an alert is added, your name will be removed from prescreened credit solicitation lists."

Good luck.
