holy crap!!!
the truck aswell that really sucks:furious:
hope they find the

im really sorry to hear about it, I just saw the gregs post. Hopefully it will be returned with the contents. its not like its inconspicuous.

you have any insurance on it?

 

Thanks, yes I have insurance, but they are dicking me around already. First I was told I had none (which I knew different).

Either way its not enough (about 50%, again they said I was covered for contents under something else as well so I didn't need as much.), we'll see how it plays out. I'll get hosed on the truck I'm sure because its an 05 and I just bought it 2yrs ago.

I'm sick to my stomach and out of work.

Sorry to hear about this. Ihad my van broken into right in my driveway in August. They only got a few pcs. There's a lot more they could of gotten. If they did insurance would not have covered it all and the premium even for up to a few thousand addl was very high. I went to screens and puck locks.

Lets talk about solutions ? Aside from steering wheel bars and wheel stops how much is a Lo Jack set up anyone ?

 

I can only imagine the frustration your feeling right now. Not only did you get robbed big time but more than likely the insurance co. is going to bend you over too. Good luck to ya.

 

sorry to hear that...what ticks me off more than anything is when insurance companies do that crap

had a drunk driver hit my work truck had to chase him down...then his insurance company tried to make me the bad guy

 

How does one steal a Truck that has an encoded Transponder key?

Any ex-employees you can recall?

 

No employee's I don't think my key is chipped. How do you tell?

You should post this as well at JLC and Fine Homebuilding's forums. Also at Breaktime Classic (delphi forum) which is an off shoot of the FHB forum.

Also, keep your eye on craigslist.

Really sorry to hear this happened.

 

All 2004 and up have them.

 

So what then, either an inside job or a real pro?

 

I hope you either find it or have your insurance guys step up.

There was someone on one of the forums that recently bought a bunch of festool to replace their stolen tools with their insurance.

I'd be like a hawk on craigslist and kijiji and let every pawn shop within 100 miles know

 

Take a try calling you local evening news to see if they think they have a story ? These ******'s are getting more brazen all the time. You seem like a guy who doesn't have a problem getting to the end of an issue ?

 

Damn that sucks. I hope you can get it back.

If you find him on your own, don't tell a soul & give him some texas style justice.

 

I was under the impression that 2004 and ALL had them. Maybe it is an option?

 

It may be available on the higher end trucks? Mine is a plain jane W/T. The only options were a locking rear end , 5.3 v8, and automatic.

 

Sorry to hear that. I will keep an eye out. You never know.

 

This might be a shot in the dark.. Call the dealer and see if Lojack was ever installed on it..

They can usually tell from the vin#

If it did, you can try to have it turned back on and see if you can locate it that way..

 

What about onstar?

 

Sorry having trouble keeping up with the posts everywhere so im sorry if I miss something!:thumbup:

The police and myself called onstar and they say it can't be done.

If you want you can post on onstars FB page. part way down you will see a pic of my truck and some comments. Jason posted it.

scott

 

Can't be done?

Must have to pay for the service before they help you out?

That sucks.

 

I offered to pay, they say it can't be done without having the vehicle to "activate it" I would have paid huge, didn't care!

Wasn't looking for a freebie

scott

 

dam dude sorry to hear that, did you check repo agents yet not sayin your behind but ya never know we have contractors that tear down the wrong buildings here.

 

Everything paid in full my friend!:thumbup:

scott

 

If they broke into a locked and alarmed truck in front of your house then they could probably disable tracking too, no?

I don't know how it works but I'm sure it couldn't be hard to disable if you knew where to look.

I wouldn't hold out on finding any of the tools even if they do find the truck or trailer. I just hope your insurance comes through for you.
If you are like most of us, the fun of shopping for new tools will help alleviate the bitterness of losing them all.

 

thats good its the same way i operate, if ya can't afford it ya don't need it.

but ya never know dam thieves up there are good at getting trucks and trailers, i usuallyhear about my buddies having to have someone come up and get them because theyre stuff was gone when they come back from a snowmobile ride.

best of luck to yea

 

Sorry to hear about that. I will keep my eyes open. Any markings on the tools?

Where the hell does someone hide something like that? I read in Greg's post that you think it's gone to a reserve, which makes good sense from a hiding standpoint.

I'll be out in Brantford this week, I'll have a look around at a pawn shop if you want but I doubt they would have come up yet, they usually stick them in the back for awhile to cool off.

 

No I'm not holding out much hope. The police said they obviously knew what they were doing. I just hope insurance comes through. Sounds like I have to wait 30days though to see what they recover.

the police were saying that even with onstar, all they have to do is break the antenna and it won't work. So chances are, they did because they seem like they knew what they were doing.

No markings on the tools. Once I get a list together maybe I'll post it.

things that may stand out are:
-about 15 stanley organizers with tons of fasteners, fittings etc
-multimaster
-tapco pro 19 brake with pro cut off and brake buddy, snips, seaming pliers.
-100ft roll of "sand" aluminum.
-5 sand siding corners
-box full of siding starter, sand J trim.
-makita 4"belt sander (was like $400) just bought it
-bostitch nailers, framing finish roofing, hardwood etc...
-roberts Jamb saw
-various roll out carpet runners
-black tool boxes labelled "carpet", "tile","electrical", "Plumbing " etc
-dewalt electricians bag full of hand tools.

Just brushing the surface.

thanks..scott

 

Hope you'ver heard about these folks. Never had a problem with recons.....Have been going that way for 2 - 3 yrs now. http://www.reconditionedsales.com/default.aspx

And CPO.....

When I got hit I printed out exact same tool from a cheaper online source and Lowe's and HD matched it. Saved a few bucks.

 

I'm sorry to hear that scott. ****ing theives:furious: I was curious too, why you think it might be at the reserve?


Dave

 

Not too far from you, i'll keep an eye out
