Default I hate a thief. Friends truck stolen in Myrtle

One of the guys at work has been working on putting this truck together for a couple of years. He finally got it to the point that he could take it down to Myrtle Beach last weekend for a show.



Saturday night it was stolen from the Anderson hotel parking deck.

If anyone spots it please let me know. I will have the number for the local police to post shortly.

Alan...Too much gray area there, why don't you say how you really feel?

Jeff...I hate that for your friend. Always some POS right there to steal your happiness. I hope they catch the suspect so I can hear about all of his rights. Sorry,I'm off the soap box now.

I'm glad you all feel like I do. I'm all for cutting the bastards hands off if they catch them.

I'm right there with ya. I don't care how much I ever have, even if I'm richer than Bill Gates I won't ever have enough for someone to just take. Can't stand a thief.

I hope they catch the guy before the truck is ruined, but the sad thing about car thieves is they usually take cars that they can take apart and sell the pieces off of.

Just goes to show the investment in a modern ignition that can't be hotwired should be on everyone's list that is restoring older cars/trucks. Sucks for your friend, keep an eye out on craigslist, its amazing how stupid some people will be that steal things. I found a motorcycle on it for a great price, called the guy and he had lost the keys.....kept asking and he also didn't have the title....

Knew a kid in the city that had a truck stolen that him and his dad built before his dad passed away, truck had a huge in loving memory sticker on the back glass......the cab was found stripped and dumped in a field they identified it to be his by the sticker

Some people in this world need things worse than death to be done to them in return for theft

WOW! I never thought I'd be making this post. Kenny got his truck back yesterday. It was found in Florence, SC. The guy has been driving it this entire time. Amazingly enough it's pretty much intact. They sold off the rims/tires, his Edelbrock carb, the radio head unit. The rear bumper is missing and the lower corner of the bed is bent behind the rear wheel along with a dent in the front fender on the same side. It almost looks like they were doing donuts and hit something.

The interior was just full of junk and the bed has parts of other cars that the guy stole and tore apart. Kenny asked the Sheriff's what he was supposed to do with all that stuff and they told him "It's yours" lol.

He never took the settlement from the insurance because they offered him some stupid low amount for it because he didn't it insured to cover the mods/restoration so it's still his truck. He was going to keep it when he first got the call but now that he's taken possession of it he is going to sell it, it's tainted.

Plus he's already built his new truck
