**DeathCougar** · 03-17-2008, 07:29 AM

Stolen last night from my place here in Arlington, WA. PLEASE someone help get her home, it may break me financially! I have too much money tied up in her.

Thanks!

Dang man, the bimbos stole it from your driveway?
Sorry to hear that.
I hope you get a speedy recovery.

Any broken glass laying around, or did they enter without a break-in?

X-AWDriver · 03-17-2008, 08:30 AM

Sorry about hear it also but a hidden fuel pump switch might have kept the truck from being driven away. Just something to think about when doing mods and having a flashy truck;I have one in mine.

**DeathCougar** · 03-17-2008, 08:30 AM

No broken glass. Hell, i might have left the stupid thing unlocked. If thats the case, i'd rather they not smash stuff up when they steal it. Hopefully i'll get her back.

Sucks cause i just put all the work into the interior, and will likely get it back thrashed.

Sorry to hear man, I will keep an eye out here in the south end. Good luck

zlathim · 03-17-2008, 08:46 AM

Sorry to hear about the missing runner. I hope she makes it back to you in one piece. Death to the dirtbags that stole her!

**Tofer** · 03-17-2008, 09:07 AM

i'll keep my eyes open for it!!! that sucks bro!

Yellowtruck · 03-17-2008, 09:19 AM

My worst nightmare.
I'll keep my eyes open here in the Sound.

JohnnyRanger54 · 03-17-2008, 09:19 AM

4runners sure are popular lately.........

Kabal · 03-17-2008, 10:11 AM

Sorry to hear about it being stolen, you had done great work on it.
On the positive side, at least we're seeing multiple members from the WA area posting in, maybe they can help spread the word as much as possible.

Ron Helmuth · 03-17-2008, 10:15 AM

we are on the lookout in the rockies-sorry to hear about it. You did not deserve that sir.

**DeathCougar** · 03-17-2008, 10:20 AM

Thanks for the support guys, its really bummin me out.

If i cant find her, i may have to sell off all the other 4Runners just to be able to make rent and bills.

**DeathCougar** · 03-17-2008, 10:56 AM

Wooo Hooo They Found Her!!!!

About 15 miles away. Some tweakers tried to steal the stereo, but couldn't even manage that. Just pried on the radio surround!

Im so glad she is home. Thanks for all the responses guys!

**waskillywabbit** · 03-17-2008, 11:14 AM

Congratulations!

Take measures so it does not happen again!

I hope the perps get put in a cell with a large neanderthal that has not seen a woman in years.

Whitey13 · 03-17-2008, 11:26 AM

Glad it's back. Did he just hotwire it?

I dont think they caught the bastards.

And this time I will be sure to lock it and set the alarm.

TFJ-4runner · 03-17-2008, 11:28 AM

Good to hear

***Corey*** · 03-17-2008, 11:28 AM

I am glad you got it back.
Did they catch the perps too?

Maybe you will get a chance to "inflict" a little payback down the road.

Ooops, just saw they did not catch them.
Be careful, they may come back another night.

My thoughts exactly. Congrats on getting it back!

You got lucky dude. Fantastic news!

**DeathCougar** · 03-17-2008, 12:36 PM

I now have it blocked in with one 4runner and a race car back at home. Doubt they will try to steal it now. Im getting all the locks changed tomorrow so even if they have a key for some reason, it wont work.
