Hi fellow Mudders,
Its a sad day. My Rosey is gone. She is a Tan colored, 1985 60 with a TBI 350 SBC, ARB bullbar, CB-loaded, Tuffy Center console, Non-USA split ring wheel, FJ62 side mirrors, and Jenson HD radio.
She was stolen last night or early this morning (8/27) from my girlfriends apartment complex on Price Street in Redlands, CA. There are no skid marks from the tires being dragged and the tow company under contract with the apartment complex didn't tow it. She has California Plates, #6ZKN214 and Vin JT3FJ60G1F1128620.
The painfully ironic part of it, is that I had a fuel pump cutoff switch installed and hidden in the center console for security. This was my budget solution to make it more secure and less driveable by meth-head car thieves. Since she is gone, to me this means that it likely was a more professional job where they broke into it, took it out of gear, released the e-brake, and loaded it onto a trailer. I doubt anyone would have found the switch.
I never did the key replacement that so many people purport to deter people from using worn-out Toyota keys. Muther-lover, I should have done it.
If anyone sees it, my cell number is (niner cinqo uno)two hundred and seven-2 eight zero two or send me a message. I'll be checking this thread compulsively.
Here is a recent pic of of her, in all her glory. The roof rack is at my house so, at least I still have it. Thankfully that wasn't on the vehicle when it was stolen.
Here are some old pics of her before the split rims.
If anyone has any information regarding her wear-about, I'll give a reward commiserate with the amount of info/completeness of the vehicle that I receive, no questions asked.
Cheers Mates ;(
