Glad to hear he's gonna get another 4runner tho!

That's one sad looking guy..... To bad some people aren't willing to work for the things they need, rather than stealing from those who do! What a piss off.

Bummer... but...

Mr. Steward pegged the loss at about $22,000. The Toyota wasn't insured.
There are gajillions of reasons to carry insurance on your rig - this is one of them.

I feel bad for the guy and all but a loss of $22,000 for a first gen? That doesn't sound right. He must have had about $17,000 worth of personal items in it when it was stolen.

They did say his mountain bikes and a laptop etc. were also stolen. Not to mention this is Canadian money so thats approx. $16,500 US. Not hard to believe for full replacement value considering good MTB's cost at least a few grand each.

Ahh, I guess I should have read the entire article. That still seems like a lot of money. I go MTbing several times a week at the local national forest and every time I get back to my truck I am worried that it has been broken into. I guess it can happen anywhere though.

OMG! That picture is heart wrenching! I won't be able to sleep.No really, I have doubts about the sanity of anyone with a strong emotional attachment to something inanimate as a 4Runner. (but that is normally 'fixed' with age)
