    oh man i hope you get it back. i get so paranoid when we have workers come to the house to replace the roof etc... i would check all your records and see if it wasn't anyone who came to your house in the past and saw what you had in the garage.
    please let us know how this turns out.

    With luck hell i would beat some ass and take it with the trailer. looks like they may need a green card to be in the us anyhow. All i can say is wow good find and the owner will be super happy.

    To me the shiney chrome bumpers are the giveaway. They don't match the "patina" of the rest of the truck. I have a really sharp Bowie Knife if you want to cut off their balls. You might want to check their home base to see what other jewels they have.

    Is this for real? In Arizona? Tell the cops a bunch of what looked like illegals were in the pickup pulling the trailer. Maybe that will get them to go after them. Every Hamber in that area should be out looking! Damn!

    You guys really need to stop with the tough guy talk and racial bigotry.

    Because I'd would like for this Thread to stay open, to see how this one gets resolved.

    Hopefully the thiefs get cought.

    I believe this will be a HAMB first if it's recovered. I can't think of any of the stolen vehicles reported on here ever getting back to the rightful owner. A huge attaboy to whoever spotted it and made the report.

    How about this for some good news?! I just got a call from the Blake guys and the police have not only recovered the vehicle but have arrested 6 people.

  19. Sure would be nice to see one of these end well...despite the paint getting trashed, at least it's intact...

    If you need to contact me, I'll be out in the garage chaining my cars to the floor and welding the garage door shut.

    Holy crap!!! How cool is that! Just got off the phone with Nick, from where he said they were apprehended, that truck would have been in Mexico in an hour! As far as I'm concerned, Nick gets a pass on being late for ever! ( He told me he was late for the DMV where he saw it.) Man it's nice to have a happy ending once in awhile! Way too much stuff around here ends up in Mexico...
     
  28. ummm...what?

    That's awesome...hopefully it was insured well enough to cover the damages. At least they have it back. GOOD NEWS!

    I got the first text message on Tues. about 10:00 am I believe. I know I called quite few people in my circle to make sure every body knew, I'm sure many others did too.
