STOLEN My 80 Was stolen last night -Colorado- (Recovered!!!)

[jaymar]

What a random thing to steal. I guess try to turn in for scrap metal? Every scrapper knows to throw an alert when a Federal USPS box is brought in as "scrap".

It's not like people send cash through the mail anymore.......

Stimulus checks?

Stimulus checks?

With Methican Americans, they might as well just be called "stimulant checks"

I'm knee deep in a frame up restoration of my cruiser and am getting nervous about when I am finished. I park in my driveway on a somewhat busy road and this thing is going to stand out. It won't be a daily driver so I am going to probably do the following when it's parked:

Kill Switch (Drivers area)
Battery Disconnect Switch (Under the hood)
Steering Wheel Lock

If someone manages to figure out all those I guess they deserve to steal it.

I hung out with @devo tonight the truck is back, stinks bad like a soup kitchen and semen everywhere, he then proceeded to cut his hand open catching parts in the shop, since he is old and takes aspirin he bleed a lot.

Identity theft.

Why not just grab mail and leave the mailbox behind? Stealing mailboxes seems a bit bizarre, or at least I don't get it.

Were the parts covered in semen? Maybe he should get tested for aids.....

They’re locked Frances

So was the 80. Must be some good locks on those buggers.

Easier and faster to steel the box and drill all the locks in a garage or back of a landcruiser compared to trying to drill/pick all the little locks on the street corner while drawing attention to yourself.

I realize some people may not have these style of boxes in their areas so just for clarification I believe they are talking about this style of mailbox.

Do to weakness, secondary to mass blood loss, I will not be able to tell the story or share photos tonight.
I am definitely very happy to have Barney back in safe keeping.

Stay tuned

Yeah, sit there and defeat dozens of individual locks.

He can not get aids he drives a truck called Barney. We have to install a new rear view mirror though, if he ask me, I will just use flex seal. Unless you have a better idea?

Go to Autozone/O'Reilys. They have a rear view mirror adhesive kit for a few bucks.

Doesn't the rear view mirror screw onto the ceiling console thingy?

Contact the postal inspector about the mail boxes and turn this into a federal crime if it isn't already

Those mail boxes are common in parts of Vegas, and break-ins are up. Recent local area pics and posts on the Nextdoor app have shown these mail boxes being broken into. That key dangling out of the lower left box means that there is no package in there. If there is no key, then there's something in there and the key was left in someone's box so they can access their parcel. Thieves will drive around looking for that.

I would probably just pull the carpet and seats. Clean the metal floor with soap and water. Pressure wash the carpet. Shouldn't take long.

Hook up something loud enough to wake the dead, that can't be turned off in under a few minutes. They'll split. Do not rush outside to investigate. Remote reset.
