STOLEN Recovered: 1997 Land Cruiser Stolen Seattle (1 Viewer)

[TomH]

My Land Cruiser was stolen from the driveway last night so if someone happens to spot it, let the police or me know.

1997 Dessert Dune / Moonglow
ARB front bumper with Toyota driving lights
ARB roof rack with a BMW Thule on it
Slee sliders

Last seen in the Wallingford neighborhood in Seattle.

This was when I was redoing the flares so not on in this picture but were on when stolen.

Decent chance you'll get it back, based on what I've seen posted up. Meanwhile...

There's a Stolen Forum? Who knew?

Sorry, he moved out a few months back. Another neighbor tired of living in what Seattle has become.

He bought the FJC new and for the past year or so said he was planning to sell since he didn't drive it much.

Sorry to hear. I too live in Seattle. Got a couple cars stolen years back. Brother got gun point and they stole his bmw m3. Seattle is chaotic with the crime and homeless problems. Now. I have a tracker and a Glock for protection. Hopefully they only steal the aftermarket’s stuff.

TomH. so sorry about your 80 getting stolen!

But, have you shared this information with any of the local Land Cruiser groups?

On Facebook there is Seattlecruiserheads and Washington State Land Cruisers groups that are good ways to get the word out to other local Land Cruiser enthusiasts.

Ooh, think I'll add those to the Stolen Cruiser thread--considering what Seattle's become...

I don't really do social media, I've left that up to my kids.

I know it has been posted to PNW Stolen Vehicles on Facebook and shared to Seattle Cruiserheads. I know it made it to some GX470 forum that one son frequents. I've been told my sons friends have also shared it across various locations but really no idea where.

I've driven to some local places in Seattle where one might expect to find a stolen vehicle. PNWSV has a list of possible locations.

Recovered early Monday morning. Minimal damage.

Great to hear; from what I've seen in the forums, that's often the case. Go figure.

How did you find it?

Police recovered it and had it impounded.

 

[vipergrhd]

What did they steal? Any big damage? Glad to hear it's back home, now install a tracker and kill switch.
How long was it in impound?

My wife had some cold weather gear in the truck and it is all gone. Relatively new Thule is gone. My sunglasses are gone. Really, that's about it. I threw away everything that was left in the car which included some of our stuff and the thief's stuff. Nothing that can't be replaced.

Only damage is the ignition bracket, ignition switch assembly, and lock cylinder. One of the fender flares may have some new scratches on it.

Wow. May not seem like great news but, coulda been so much worse...
