Sorry to hear this... I hope you get the truck back AND catch those SOBs. That really sucks.
that truck should really stand out. eyes watchin' in the central valley
A lot of thiefs/crooks pick trucks for get away vehicles Because they know they might need to jump some curbs or smash some barriers, unfortunately makes our rigs a target for theft.
I hope you find this piece of crap and get your truck back in the shape it was.

Eyes still looking out down south...
;p
UPDATE:
I just got a call from the Stanford police department. They found my truck today parked in one of their lots. Apparently after writing the 6th parking ticket on it someone thought they should have an officer run the plates. I won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow morning, but from the officers description the truck is completely undamaged. The windows were left down, and the stereo and all the other contents inside I asked about were still there including an ipod. The officer even started it up using a hidden key I had stashed on the truck so I could hear the motor fire right up and everything.
Holy happy dance going on right now.
Thanks to everyone for keeping their eyes peeled and my hopes up....

Awesome news...let us know when you get it back...I would have it thoroughly checked out and your insurance company should pay for a full inspection and any repairs...and/or missing items. Awesome news though!!!
so are you gonna leave it at the shop anymore?
Awesome Dude, Congrats!!!!!!! So Glad you found it in one piece, a second chance with your baby, niceeee!!!
Congradulations great news!!!!.........................Sure has me thinking lojack or GPS tracking now........
Here guys, this is what I have in my 80, it's hidden in the car and even if you look for it you won't find it, I'm able to track my LC everywhere and even unlock the doors, kill the ignition and other nice features directly from my computer. Check it out, I'm sure most of you guys don't want your LC to get stolen and never find it again, with this device you can find it anywhere, here's the website:

I was going to get Lojack but this is way cheaper and it has more functions that Lojack. I'm NOT affiliated to this people at all, I just thought of telling you guys of this product being that I have it and I know it works.
Great news! Was it just a joyride then?
Congrats
Great news. I have been following your story hoping to read THAT message. Any luck finding who stole it? That would sure sweeten up the story. Glad to hear your beast is back!

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.

Awesome........ 
great news!
That's great news! Too bad the a$$bags that did this got away,,,,,, for now.
We once had a rifle stolen and reported it to the local police. Three years later they were cleaning out their evidence room and found it. It had been seized in a raid on a drug house. So I always joke w/ my cop friends to looks under their own a$$es when someone reports something stolen.

WOW! Great news! I hope everything checks out O.K. I'm kind of an a******, so I'd still love to find the guy a have a little talk...
