What is inside your truck ?

[Fireman]

That is a rhetorical question, I really don't want to know what you have. Do you know all that is in your glovebox, console, under the seats ? Before you go look make a list and see how much you forgot. The reason I ask is that some *#$&^% smashed both drivers side windows, rummaged , and ran while I was getting a bite to eat. Nothing was sitting out in the open where it could be seen, the parking lot was crowed and I happened to be the last one in (farterest away). When the Police arrived I had already done an inventory,and I wasn't sure what was missing. My console was open and empty and I couldn't remember what was in it, I knew that I had a lot of stuff in there but I came up blank. It wasn't until the next day that I realized that my GPS was in the console, so it didn't get put on the Police report. The next evening when cleaning all the glass out, I took everything out of the truck and looked at it. I could not belive how much stuff was under the backseat alone, and now three days later I couldn't tell you everything I put back under that seat. My point, (finally) inventory your truck and write it down or take pictures or something. The *#$&^% insurance company will take your list, depreciate everything, subtract the deductable, and write you a check for a mere fraction of what it will cost you to restore your property. You really need to know everything that is missing, because if you don't report it you get nothing at all. BTW I got out pretty light, only lost a GPS, Dewalt cordless drill, Gore-tex parka, and ? That is just a drop in the bucket, compared to what they could have taken.

Bummer. Then the frustration of cleaing up the mess and getting it fixed. What gets me is thiefs who steal your CD's, but would never listen to the kind of music you listen to anyway.



Thanks for the advise.

Fireman, I believe you can amend the Police report. My shop (in L. A. ) got ripped off in 1998 by members of the local "minority" gang. I believe they were from beyond our Southern Border. I was able to amend the Police report, as I remembered the things that were taken. They got about $1,300. 00 worth of Milwaukee & Skil Power tools, (And the shop boom box!!!) but they left behind a FAR more valuable collection of Stanley planes! Truly they should be arrested for stupidity! I know it was the local gang because for years they made absolutely NO contact with me, then for days after the burglary they would cruise by the shop and stare in, obviously trying to see what else I had. One group, in a low-rider chebby SUV drove by real slow, one of them called out tauntingly, "Hey Mannnnn, how yoo doooin"? to the laughter and cat calls of the other 5 jerks in the chebby.

Inventory

fireman56 - - - Outstanding suggestion, you'll never remember everything, and somethings you won't miss 'til you need it. Mine is 3 pages typed single space, for Canada Border Crossing. This isn't so much for Canada, but to get back into the US.

bummer man, sorry to hear about your truck. I had my baby just 3 weeks when some lousy no good wast of oxygen broke in. wasnt until a couple of weeks later when i needed a 1/2 inch deep well 6 point socket that i realized my snap on set was mia. Had been working on the truck and left it on the pass side on the floor. Oh well, replacing the sockets didn't hurt as much as the 2000 damage they did getting in. It's been 8 months since it happened and i'm getting pi$$ed of just typing it.



One shot with the . 338 win mag thats all i want. ill even let them get a few hundred yards away is that too much to ask for

yet another case where some high velocity lead therapy would be in order (rehabilitation through reincarnation)

I went flying (RC) one day and remember looking all over for the computer radio later, found it under the truck seat. Doh!

Then there was the time I had the Alpine pullout stolen from the dash, with the 22 pistol under a rag on the front seat, and the 35mm camera in a bag in the open bed, thought I was "safe" only 100' away fishing. Only thing gone was the Alpine. "Lucky" I guess. Stupid more like it. Still mad though.
