Not sure where else to post this, but my '87 white 4runner was stolen on the street in San Francisco this past Friday night or Saturday. Probably just had the locks and ignition turned with a screwdriver... If anyone in the Bay Area comes across it, it is pretty distinctive to anyone that knows these trucks but non-descript to others. I unfortunately don't have pictures, but: - White with white top DLX, in phenomenal condition, no rust or dents (there may be dents now from joy-riding) - All-pro rear bumper, powdercoated black - Chrome grill and front bumper, black door handles, key-lock fuel door - '99 4runner 5-spoke 16" alloys with Dueler Revos white lettering out. - California plates, if they're still on there: 2FHS199 - Hella H4 headlamps IF you look inside: - Black neoprene seat covers - SR5 gauges, AC, no clock - JVC stereo with removal faceplate (I think the faceplate was off when it was stolen, but it's in the glove compartment) Call the police if you spot it, then let me know at marc DOT fen AT gmail DOT com. It took half a year to find a 4runner this clean, and I've only had it maybe 3 months... edit: Details added

Thanks for the sticky!

I'll get the plate numbers up here when I get home from work. I don't have pics, unfortunately, but it's a stock white 4runner (except wheels and rear bumper) in spotless shape. The other ideosyncracies is that it has black door handles despite the chrome bumper and grill. And a key-lock fuel door rather than the cable release.

No rear sag (actually rear axle is on 2" blocks, and I had brand new Downey springs in the back waiting to be installed!), but also no major lift.

Front wheel plastic center caps are drilled to allow the Aisin hubs to poke through.

i;m sorry to hear about it... i'll keep my eyes open for it out here in stockton.

No news so far.

SF PD actually said they have a high recovery rate, and the Po usually are never optimistic about anything... so I've got my fingers crossed.

Did you have it alarmed and the club on it? I know the club is easy to defeat but they seem to leave them alone with it on. One report taker told me they havent seen anything stolen with one on is 18 years.

I think we need a seperate section for these. This is getting to ba a daily thread being seen. Theft threads..I hope I never have to go there.

Well, it's much better than it could have been... The ignition key casing was broken but the barrel was left in the car and still works fine (though is obviously not secure anymore), the faceplate on the stereo and my fastrak responder were stolen, and they backed it into something. Then it was left abondoned in Oakland where someone sawed off the cat.

The good news is that the rest of the stereo was left behind, as well as my tools (!), and I have an all-pro bumper so while it lost some paint, there was no other damage. I can't believe no one stole the wheels.

As far as I can tell it was stolen by a bunch of SF State students or hopefulls to go on a meth/heroine binge. I'm no drug expert so maybe someone else can clear it up for me. Here's what I found in the car:
- Lots a cheap, trashy porn mags, a broken porn DVD, and a case for a porn CD
- a pack's worth of cigarette butts, and empty pack of Marlboro lights
- Lots of bic pens, and a few ink tubes from bic pens with the outside white tube gone. (meth?)
- sunflower seeds everywhere, about half a bag's worth in the glove compartment (meth?)
- One broken glass pipe (meth?)
- two thick rubber bands, cut. (heroine?)
- two different kinds of shoe polish (huffing?)
- a bottle of old spice shaving cream, mostly full (either huffing, or jerking to the porn)
Now for the bizarre:
- not one, but TWO aftermarket rearview mirrors, one of which was installed over my rear view.
- one ashtray, brand new, from another car or from a Kragen.
- one hardcover copy of A Purpose Driven Life
- one SFSU course catalog

I'm just glad to have my truck back, and now I get to get hosed by insurance as I filed the claim, but I don't think the damage is going to much above my $500 deductable. So my rates will go up even though I'll barely get any reimbursement.

No way, the book by Rick Warren? That is sad

Yup, the Rick Warren book... maybe trying to turn their life around and fell off the wagon? Who knows...

Anyway, I've got the truck back so the sticky can come down. Thanks everyone for keeping an eye out while it was gone.

The good news is, my deductible was lower than I thought and it's a no fault event so it won't hurt my premiums. By the time the shop is done, it may be better than it started!

Last note, is that I was (but shouldn't have been) surprised at how easy it was to break the ignition key barrel... install a kill switch if you haven't already. An 8 year old could steal one of these.
