Chalk one up for the good guys.

That's great news. I had a similar incident a few years ago with a modded 4Runner. Thieves stole it from behind two security gates and had it for two weeks before letting the tank run dry and burning out the fuel pump. Left it full of (stolen) tools and a note on the dashboard - "Gon 2 get fool pump, fone me l8r" . Insurance paid for a new fuel pump and the minor cosmetic damage and the cops let me keep the extra booty after 30 days!

Sometimes you luck out.

Glad you got your rig back - be sure to check it thoroughly before you drive it off the lot. make sure all your fluids are there, including diffs and stuff. You don't want to have something seize 5 minutes after signing off on your insurance company's obligation, just because some hoodlum tought it would be funny to drain your oils.

Also, carefully check for syringes or blades hidden in seats - that's an old favourite "prank" of the B&E junkies around here.
