If they are still driving it your best best is that they screw up and fill it with unleaded gasoline. They won't go far from there.

Skillet, your post was at 1:30am. Is that the time you saw it? Or is that a server error. Good eyes. Thanks for the heads-up. ~B

I saw the rig around 5:40 pm.

It's a long shot but a flier with a $1,000 reward delivered to all the diesel stations in the area may produce results. That is unless it had a lr tank and was full.

I hope this one gets returned soon.

Skillet,

What are the chances the perp saw you trying to flip a u-turn and got off the hwy ASAP?

Somebody needs to hang this dude by the balls.

 

[sandcruiser]

the truck has dual tanks, If full..... it has some range. And it would be a pretty deaf person who would not notice that its a diesel!

 

[ZPDFJ]

You have got eyes in San Diego, I never miss an 80 on the road. I will act if I see this truck, not to worry.

Skillet,

There is no chance. He was down the road before I had a break in traffic to flip around.

Not to mention, I was in my very generic white ford f150.

Almost every farmer in the area has the same truck and it is not uncommon to be flipping around in the artichoke fields.

The veggie oil tank was empty, and the filter was completely clogged, on of the things that the mechanic was going to do for me. The stock tank was only about 1/2 full, so probably about 200 miles before he would have to refill. Still no word from the authorities, so far only my MUD friends have given me anything I would call an update.

Great to see everyone working in together to try and catch this £$"%*! Good luck with the search.

 

[IdahoDoug]

I hope he comes up my way. Lots of lonely country roads, and the truck may be found merely abandoned with nobody at the wheel anymore.......

Same here, I'll have some fun with the SOB that's driving the truck if he dares to come to Florida, If anyone ask, It was just a hunting accident

 

[Kief]

DANG! SW Oregon here..

 

[kup99]

All the best!

No word. Was cleaning up my shop and I do have lots of left over parts from rebuilding the cooling system on this thing... so... _part_ of the truck is still around.
