If something like that gets stolen around here it is wheeled until its broken or stuck then stripped and set on fire, good luck.

That's sick! People are so selfish and self centered, they can only think of there wants, and not the feelings of others. Sure insurance will pay for it, but what about the time that was put into it.

When I leave my jeep at the shop where I work I hide the key's. i always feel kind of funny about doing this but just think, no one there at night to here some one brake in and all the cars have key's in them so even car's with anti theft can be driven off with ease.

that's one of the reasons i have a hard top and doors. they go on if i have to take it to a shop. my dj i even put pad locks on it for when i leave it alone for a long time, ie store it. it's something no insurance check could ever replace.

my friend has a civic put at least 4k into it. was stolen from the mall parking lot, it was recovered, was siting on the body kit, they stole everything interior system, brand new rims, 600 buck racing seats we just put in two day before. they even took the damn seat belts. his steering wheel was removable, they stole that, so atm he cant even drive the car till he gets a new steering wheel setup. cop are being dicks they wont check the mall security cameras, and insurance is screwing him around too with the stolen items. so its back to step one, well step zero b/c he cant even move the damn thing.

I have keeped every receipt I have got with my Jeep, even oil changes or parts I buy like headlights, you never know when you will need them.

Rig has been found, minus a few parts. Sounds like a lot of the tools are still missing.

They probably used the tools to take parts off the Jeep! At least they got the Jeep back. I know of several Jeeps in the San Diego, Ca area that never showed up again. Problem with a Jeep is that you can't really expect to see someone else driving it around. They are almost always parted. Unless it's for a joy ride but this sounds like someone knew what they wanted to begin with. Probably a customer, friend or a friend of a friend.

The way the jeep was found was kind of interesting. It was found a mile and a half away, someone saw a guy get out of it and walk away with the windows wide open in the rain. Person goes and finds the registration card on the seat, calls the cops. All that was taken from the jeep was the ORO LED lights that it had in every location possible and a hack job removal of the stereo. None of the megabuck ORO suspension goodies had been removed - sounds like someone who had no idea what they stole, or realized that the parts would be impossible to resell.

The tools were most likely worth double what the jeep was worth - a lot of machinist stuff.

The sickening thing is that all of those tools will be sold for less than pennies on the dollar. I hate it when they steal somebodies lively hood. I had all my tools burned once in a shop fire and its a pretty devastating feeling. Ended up with 3 th degree burns on my arms trying to push my rollaway out of the fire
