10/19 2 scumbags roll up to LA Fitness in Spring Tx , use some kind of ipad or scanner to tie into my truck and it opens doors starts engine and they are gone in 40secs all caught on video. My 2020 (paid for) AT4 and of course the 2 pistols and .22 rifle I was taking to the deer lease and all the other contents gone. Until you document for insurance you never realize how much stuff in your truck costs. The OnStar tracker is all I have left because they ripped it out and left it in parking space. If you have never felt the urge to pull someone’s head off their shoulders with your hands, watch a video of them stealing your ride.

It is insane the kind of stuff you can order online, a lot of it literally right off Amazon, that'll skim card numbers, start cars, clone key fobs, etc. That really, really sucks man. They deserve a stomping.

I have and it is a pain. I know one thing you want them to total it or make it disappear. They found mine and it to forever to take possession of it. My insurance company told me it is better for them to never find it.

Thieves. They are as useless as fire ants. They need to be exterminated.

Yes, back in the 80s, it was found stripped to the frame a few days later by the police. I felt violated

Had a almost new 300zx stolen and it was found down in Mexico, the Federales were using it. It was a mess when the insurance co got it back, settled for money instead of getting it back.

One of our salesman had his company car stolen. They found it 2 months later parked on a street in an Irving with a homeless guy living in it. We had to scrap it. The front seat was his bathroom and the back seat was his bed.
